AM4964
SINGLE PHASE FULL WAVE DIRECT PWM MOTOR DRIVER
Description
Pin Assignments
The AM4964 is highly integrated feature rich single phase Brushless
Direct Current (BLDC) full wave motor driver with combined PWM and
temperature speed control function for fans, blowers and extractors.

For system flexibility, the motor speed can be controlled by an
external PWM signal and temperature sensed by Thermal resister at
the same time. Based on external input PWM and temperature
signals, the AM4964 adjusts the output PWM duty cycle. If the input
PWM duty is constant, the output PWM duty varies with temperature
sensed by Thermal resister sensor between the low and high
temperature corners. If the temperature signal is constant, the output
duty varies with the external input PWM duty. The low and high
temperature corners and the output PWM duty gap between these
temperature corners are adjustable

To help protect the motor coil, the AM4964 provides a rotor lock
protection which shuts down the output if rotor lock is detected. The
device automatically re-starts when the rotor lock is removed.

AM4964 provides
a tachometer output Frequency Generator
(FG). The FG output is the magnetic change frequency.
The AM4964 is available in TSSOP-20EP package.
