Speed Control and Minimum Speed Setting

Minimum Speed Setting

The minimum speed setting prevents the motor speed dropping below a setting speed when the speed demand is too low (i.e. PWM voltage is

closer to 3.6V)

When the CF pin voltage is higher than the VMIN voltage, the VMIN voltage is compared with the internal triangular wave to generate the output

PWM duty. Therefore, setting the VMIN to certain fixed voltage forces the VMIN to control the speed even when the CF voltage is higher.

If VMIN setting is not used or application does not need to set the minimum speed, connect the VMIN to CF directly.

Rotor Lock Detect and OFF Tme Setting

The capacitor C4 from CT pin to the ground provides the timing for the lock detect and auto-restart. The capacitor C4 is charges and discharged by

the CT pin at a fixed rate depending on the mode of operation (fan operation status) and therefore the value of the C4 to gives lock-detect time

be shut down and the device will enter lock condition.
