7 / 17 page THIGH, the duty cycle may increase just a few percent above the minimum duty cycle. If the power dissipation or ambient temperature increases to a high-enough value, the duty cycle may eventually need to increase to 100%. If the ambient temperature or the power dissipation reduces to the point that the measured temperature is less than TLOW, the duty cycle begins slowly decre- menting until either the duty cycle reaches its minimum value or the temperature rises above TLOW. The small duty-cycle increments and slow rate-of- change of duty cycle (1.5% maximum per 4s) reduce the likelihood that the process of fan-speed control is acoustically objectionable. The “dead band” between TLOW and THIGH keeps the fan speed constant when the temperature is undergoing small changes, thus making the fan-control process even less audible. Fan-Fail Sensing The MAX6643/MAX6644/MAX6645 feature a FANFAIL output. The FANFAIL output is an active-low, open- drain alarm. The MAX6643/MAX6644/MAX6645 detect fan failure either by measuring the fan’s speed and rec- ognizing when it is too low, or by detecting a locked- rotor logic signal from the fan. Fan-failure detection is enabled only when the duty cycle of the PWM drive sig- nal is equal to 100%. This happens during the spin-up period when the fan first turns on and whenever the temperature is above THIGH long enough that the duty cycle reaches 100%. Many fans have open-drain tachometer outputs that produce periodic pulses (usually two pulses per revolu- tion) as the fan spins. These tachometer pulses are monitored by the FAN_IN_ inputs to detect fan failures. If a 2-wire fan with no tachometer output is used, the fan’s speed can be monitored by using an external sense resistor at the source of the driving FET (see Figure 3). In this manner, the variation in the current flowing through the fan develops a periodic voltage waveform across the sense resistor. This periodic waveform is then highpass filtered and AC-coupled to the FAN_IN_ input. Any variations in the waveform that have an amplitude of more than ±150mV are converted to digital pulses. The frequency of these digital pulses is directly related to the speed of the rotation of the fan and can be used to detect fan failure. Note that the value of the sense resistor must be matched to the characteristics of the fan’s current waveform. Choose a resistor that produces voltage variations of at least ±200mV to ensure that the fan’s operation can be reliably detected. Note that while most fans have current waveforms that can be used with this detection method, there may be some that do not produce reliable tachometer signals. If a 2-wire fan is to be used with fault detection, be sure that the fan is compatible with this technique. To detect fan failure, the analog sense-conditioned pulses or the tachometer pulses are deglitched and counted for 2s while the duty cycle is 100% (either dur- ing spin-up or when the duty cycle rises to 100% due to measured temperature). If more than 32 pulses are counted (corresponding to 480rpm for a fan that pro- duces two pulses per revolution), the fan is assumed to be functioning normally. If fewer than 32 pulses are received, the FANFAIL output is enabled and the PWM duty cycle to the FET transistor is either shut down in case of a single-fan (MAX6643) configuration or contin- ues normal operation in case of a dual-fan configuration (MAX6644/MAX6645). Some fans have a locked-rotor logic output instead of a tachometer output. If a locked-rotor signal is to be used to detect fan failure, that signal is monitored for 2s while the duty cycle is 100%. If a locked-rotor signal remains active (low) for more than 2s, the fan is assumed to have failed. The MAX6643/MAX6644/MAX6645 have two channels for monitoring fan-failure signals, FAN_IN1 and FAN_IN2. For the MAX6643, the FAN_IN_ channels monitor a tachometer. The MAX6643’s fault sensing can also be turned off by floating the TACHSET input. For the MAX6644 and MAX6645, the FAN_IN1 and FAN_IN2 channels can be configured to monitor either a logic-level tachometer signal, the voltage waveform on a current-sense resistor, or a locked-rotor logic sig- nal. The TACHSET input selects which type of signal is to be monitored (see Table 3). To disable fan-fault sensing, TACHSET should be unconnected and FAN_IN1 and FAN_IN2 should be connected to VDD. OT Output The MAX6643/MAX6644/MAX6645 include an over- temperature output that can be used as an alarm or a system-shutdown signal. Whenever the measured tem- perature exceeds the value selected using the OT pro- gramming inputs OT1 and OT2 (see Table 4), OT is asserted. OT deasserts only after the temperature drops below the threshold. FULLSPD Input The MAX6643 features a FULLSPD input. Pulling FULL- SPD high forces PWM_OUT to 100% duty cycle. The FULLSPD input allows a microcontroller to force the fan to full speed when necessary. By connecting FANFAIL to an inverter, the MAX6643 can force other fans to 100% in multifan systems, or for an over-temperature condition (by connecting OT inverter to FULLSPD).
