Perform the steps outlined in Getting Started. Table. What You Must Provide Item No. Quantity Description 4 HARDWARE DESCRIPTION The supports evaluation of the TC64/646/ 647/648/649 BDC fan controllers from Microchip Technology Inc. Various jumper options and sites for userinstalled components allow the to operate with virtually any BDC fan. As shown in Figure 1 (page 1), the operates with either a TC64, TC646, TC647, TC648 or a TC649 installed in the 8-pin DIP socket. (The TC646/649 has an auto shutdown mode, whereby the fan is shut off when measured temperature is below a prescribed minimum. The TC64/647 operates the fan continuously, and at a minimum speed when measured temperature is low. For details, please refer to the datasheets for these devices.) As shipped from the factory, the is configured to operate as a TC64/647 that directly drives a 1V BDC fan having a 100mA maximum operating current. The TC64, TC646, TC647, TC648 and TC649 modulate fan speed in direct proportion to the control signal applied to pin 1. This input can be supplied by an off-board sensor, or from the on-board speed control (Pot 1), depending on the setting of the INT/EXT switch. The minimum fan operating speed (TC64/647) or auto shutdown temperature setting (TC646/648/649) is determined by the setting of Pot. In addition,the TC64/646/647/648/649 can be manually shut down (or reset) by pushing the SHDN/RESET switch or applying closed contacts (or a low impedance) to the EXT SHDN/RESET input (TB4). Be sure JB4 is set to match the device (i.e. TC64, TC646, TC647, TC648 or TC649 currently in service). The BDC fan modulation frequency should be between 30Hz and 60Hz. This frequency is determined by capacitor C1 (or user installed capacitor C), and the setting of JB1. The default operating frequency is 30Hz (please see the TC64, TC646, TC647, TC648 and TC649 datasheets for details). The output driver can be either a SOT, a TO-9 or a TO-0 transistor, depending on the fan operating current and application. Resistor R sets the base drive current for this transistor. The configuration as shipped from the factory consists of a NA transistor and a 1.1K base resistor, 1 1 5.0V, 50mA regulated power supply 1 Power supply with the required output voltage and current capability to operate item 1 from Table 1 3 1 Small flat-bladed screwdriver for adjusting the speed control and minimum speed/autoshutdown pots 4 1 DVM 5 1 General purpose oscilloscope 6 Clip leads for power supply and fan connections 7 1 1V, 75mA to 100mA Brushless DC Fan* *Note: The TC64/646/647/648/649 will work with any BDC fan. A 1V, 75 ma to 100 ma fan is recommended for initial start-up since the is pre-configured for this type of fan. If a 1V, 75mA to 100mA BDC fan is not available, the configuration settings of the must be modified accordingly (see Section 5 for details). 3
which will drive a BDC fan with an operating current of 100 ma or less. Larger fans can be driven with a different combination of base resistor and output trasistor. Fan commutation pulses are sensed by pin 5 of the TC64/646/647/ 648/649 through R3 and C5. R3 may vary from 1Ω to 10Ω, depending on the operating current of the fan being driven.the is shipped from the factory with a 4.7Ω resistor installed for R3. C5 is a non-critical component and is shipped with a 0.1µF capacitor installed. This value will suffice for all but the most esoteric BDC fans. A fault visual indicator is also provided to facilitate experimentation. The FAULT LED is driven active by Q4 whenever the FAULT output of the TC64/646/647/648/649 goes low. The various jumper blocks and options are summarized in Table 1. 5 GETTING STARTED Initial start-up of the is simplified by using a 1V BDC fan with an operating current between 75mA to 100 ma for the initial start-up. (The is shipped preconfigured for such a fan). If such a fan is available, please proceed to step 1 below. If such a fan is unavailable, the will require modification to certain component values and jumper settings. Please proceed to Section 6. 1. is shipped from the factory configured as outlined in Table 1. Inspect the settings on the board to ensure they match those listed in Table 1. Also be sure that a 4.7Ω resistor is installed for R3, a 1.1kΩ is installed for R, a 0.1µF capacitor is installed for C5, and a NA transistor is installed for Q.. Connect the positive side of a 5V DC supply to (BP1) and the negative side of the supply to GND (BP). 3. Connect the positive lead of a 1V, 100mA (max) BDC fan to the FAN+ terminal. Connect the negative lead of the fan to the FAN- terminal. Table 3. Jumper Options 4. Connect the positive lead of a 1V DC supply to V FAN (BP3). Connect the negative lead from the 1V DC supply to ground. 5. Set the INT/EXT switch to INT (Internal control voltage). Turn Pot 1 (Speed Control) fully clockwise. Turn Pot (Min Speed/Auto Shutdown Level) fully clockwise. 6. Turn both DC supplies ON. The fan should immediately run to full speed and the FAULT L.E.D. should be lit. If this is not the case, re-check the configuration settings and repeat steps 1 through 5. 7. Connect the positive lead of a DC voltmeter to test point TP1 and the negative voltmeter lead to ground. (This is the minimum speed setting voltage). Adjust Pot until a reading of 1.9V is achieved. This voltage corresponds to a minimum speed setting of approximately 40 percent of full speed. 8. Verify proper operation of the TC64/647 by rotating Pot 1 counterclockwise. The fan speed decreases and the FAULT L.E.D. goes off. Fan speed will decrease as Pot 1 is rotated counterclockwise until the voltage on the wiper of Pot 1 is less than the voltage on the wiper of Pot, at which time the fan will operate continuously at 40 percent of full speed. Verify the minimum speed circuit is operating by adjusting Pot clockwise, while Pot 1 is fully counterclockwise. 9. Verify open fan detection by disconnecting one lead of the fan while it is running. The FAULT L.E.D. will light after a disconnect time of about one second. 10. Verify stuck rotor detection by blocking the fan while it is running. The FAULT light will be activated approximately two seconds after the fan is blocked. The may now be custom-configured for your particular combination of control and fan requirements.

6 OPERATION IN THE ADJUSTABLE OUT- PUT VOLTAGE MODE Output Driver Transistors such as NA are recommended for use as the output driver. These transistors are low cost, multiple sourced and have a high enough Beta for BDC fan applications of 00mA or less running current. If a single transistor is used, care must be taken to select a transistor having a guaranteed minimum h FE of at least 50 to ensure that the maximum output current specification (5mA) of the TC64/646/647/648/649 is not exceeded. For larger BDC fans, two such transistors connected as a Darlington pair will suffice (Figure ). All component selections should be made based on information in the Applications section of the TC64, TC646, TC647, TC648 and TC649 datasheets. The table shown in Figure is provided as a guide only, and lists typical Fan Module operating configurations for 1V fan applications. The values in the table assume the use of low cost, bipolar transistors (such as NA). Substituting a logic level MOSFET, such as a BS170, for Q results in lower system voltage losses, and significantly reduces output loading on the TC64/646/647/648/649. The low R DSON of the MOSFET (1W in the case of the BS170) enables it to be used instead of the Darlington in high current fan applications (please see the TC64/646/ 647/648/649 datasheet Applications section for details). The pin-out of many logic level MOSFETs is reversed from that of bipolar junction transistors, so care must be taken to properly orient the MOSFET. Sensor Interface Circuit The TC64, TC646, TC647, TC648 and TC649 datasheets provide detailed information relating to the design of a temperature sensor based on a low-cost thermistor.
