The US168/169 is a one-chip solution for driving single-coil brushless DC fans and motors.
The use of Melexis Soft Switching concept US168 lowers the acoustic and electrical motor noise and provides smoother operation.
The US168 includes reverse voltage protection, locked rotor protection and thermal protection.Therefore, the IC robustness perfectly suits for consumer and automotive-on-board applications.
Tachometer (FG) or Alarm (RD) open-drain output of US168 is available. It makes easier the connectivity with external interface such as hardware monitoring or Super I/O IC.
Delivered in a thin and reliable TSOT package, US168 allows smaller and competitive single-coil fan or motor design, avoiding the need of external components.
