mplementary Output Hall Effect Fan Driver

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

MA276 are integrated Hall sensors with output drivers, mainly designed for electronic

commutation of brush-less DC Fan. This IC internally includes the regulator, protecting diode,

Hall plate, amplifier, comparator, and a pair of complementary open-Drain outputs (DO,

DOB).

While the magnetic flux density (B) is larger than operate point (Bop), DO will turn on

(low), and meanwhile DOB will turn off (high). Each output is latched until B is lower than

release point (Brp), and then DO, DOB transfer each state. For DC fan application,

sometimes need to test power reverse connection condition. Internal diode only protects

chip-side but not for coil-side. If necessary, add one external diode to block the reverse

current from coil-side.

FEATURES

- On-chip Hall effect sensor with two different sensitivity and hysteresis settings

- Built-in protecting diode only for chip reverse power connecting

- -40°C to 85°C operating temperature

- Low Profile SIP-4L Package( Green and Lead Free )
