4. Functional Diagram
5. Description
The US79KUA is the most advanced Smart Fan
Control Hall IC. It is designed for 5V and 12V cooling commutation. The chip contains many features to allow survival in a harsh
environment. The IC was designed to eliminate all discrete components such as capacitors, resistors, transistors, diodes, PC board
and associated labor, replacing US$0.25 to US$0.35 in direct cost.
The K rating guarantees proper operation up to an ambient temperature of 125°C. Hall IC circuitry and power FET output provide
a low power dissipation cool chip.
Locked Rotor conditions are detected by the IC when there is no motion for one second and will shut off the motor drive for five
seconds. Then, the IC will turn on the drive current for one second. This sequence continues indefinitely until the locked rotor
condition is fixed. This feature prevents overheating.

6. Glossary of Terms
MilliTesla (mT), Gauss: Units of magnetic flux density; 1 milliTesla = 10 Gauss.
Two-Coil Fan: a fan with two coil windings, current alternates from 1 coil to the other depending on the polarity of the magnetic
field.
Two-wire Fan: A fan that has only two connections for the power supply plus and minus.
Locked rotor: The condition of a fan that has stopped spinning due to mechanical blockage .
7. Absolute Maximum Ratings

10. Unique Features
Reverse voltage protection eliminates the need for a diode. Reverse current flows through the coils and the chip. Power
dissipation is (2 * Istall/Istart * 0.7V).
Table 1 presents max temperature for each current.
Reverse Voltage protection is provided by the motor windings.
The 35V Zener diodes clamp the output drivers for overstress protection.
