2 General Descriptio
ion
The US62/63 is a one-chip solu
ution for driving twocoil brushless DC cooling fans..
Based on the advanced Melexiis CMOS process,
the IC contains a Hall-effect sen
ensor, dynamic
offset correction and low side o
output drivers.
Frequency Generator or Rotatiion Detection is
available. The open-drain output
utput makes easier the
connectivity with any external inte
nterface such as
hardware monitoring or Super I/O IC.
These features are combined w
with the Melexis
patented no-VDD design to fit th
he IC in a small 4pin VK package.

9 Detailed General Descri
ription
The US62/63 is a one-chip solution for
or driving two-coil brushless DC fans. Based on advan
anced Melexis
CMOS process, the IC contains a Hallll-effect sensor, dynamic offset correction and low sid
de output drivers.
The output drivers OUT1 and OUT2 are
a fully protected against switching transients. So
o there
the is no need for
an external zener diode to cut the high
gh voltage spikes induced by the fan coils.
The US62 has an open-drain integrate
ed tachometer FG output that follows the Hall signal..
In the US63, the open-drain rotation detection
de
output RD is active low during normal spinn
nning of the motor. It
goes high when the flux switching frequen
equency becomes too low, which means the motor is blocked.
b
10 Unique Features
The FG/RD output driver provides an over current protection limiting the current flowing in the FG/RD driver
while switched ON. It can occur if a too small pull-up resistor is used or if this resistor is sho
hort connected.
This protection helps avoid EOS damage
age on the FG/RD driver.
The absence of a VDD pin enables the
e two low side output drivers and FG/RD signal outp
put to fit in a four-pin
VK package. The lack of a VDD pin decreases
de
also the probability to damage the chip due to reverse voltage
connection, using the coil resistance to
t limit the reverse current. In this condition, the tota
al reverse current is
twice the peak current value of the fan
an used.
The built-in locked-rotor protection auto
tomatically shuts off the coil current when the rotor iss mechanically
blocked, or the rotational speed becom
mes too low. The fan tries to restart every 1.3 seconds
onds until the rotation
of the shaft is allowed again. The On / Off cycling reduces the average current to 1/7 norm
mal. It is enough to
prevent overheating or damage to mo
ost fans.

ts
Figure 13.2 shows the application inclluding several external protections.
The diode DREVPROT best protects the chip
c
and fan coils for reverse voltage condition.
The capacitor CBYPASS is recommended
ended if the supply ground may be disconnected while running even though
the positive supply point is still conne
ected. This capacitor provides a path to ground for the remaining energy
in the coil which has to be evacuated.
d. Without it, the energy can flow from OUT1/OUT2 to the FG/RD driver,
without any limitation and may cause EOS
E
damage.
Its value has to be tuned depending on
o the coils characteristics. Bigger inductance requirres bigger capacitor.
The optional capacitor CFILTER suppress
sses wire disturbances on the FG/RD output line.
