MAX31740 - Ultra-Simple Fan-Speed Controller

Description

The MAX31740 is a sophisticated, yet easy-to-use fanspeed controller.

It monitors the temperature of an external NTC thermistor and generates a PWM signal that can be used to control the speed of a 2, 3, or 4-wire fan.

Features

  • Self-Contained PWM Fan Control.
  • No Micro Needed.
  • Controls Speed of 2-, 3-, or 4-Wire Fans.
  • Resistors Set Fan Control Characteristics.
  • Smooth, Linearly Varying PWM Duty Cycle Minimizes Audibility of Fan Noise.
  • Accurately Monitors External Thermistor Temperature.
  • 3.0V to 5.5V Operating Voltage Range.
  • -40°C to +125°C Operating Temperature Range.

It monitors the temperature of an external NTC thermistor and generates a PWM signal that can be used to control the speed of a 2, 3, or 4-wire fan. The fan control characteristics are set using external resistors, thereby eliminating the need for an external microcontroller. Controllable characteristics include the starting temperature for fan control, PWM frequency, fan speed at low temperatures, and slope of the temperature-dutycycle transfer function.
