LB1868
Two-Phase Brushless Fan Motor Driver
Preliminary
Overview
The LB1868 is a 2-phase unipolar brushless motor driver.
With only a few peripheral parts, lockup protection and
automatic recovery can be implemented. The IC can be
configured for 12V or 24V operation and a wide range of
variations, from LOW speed to H-High speed and from 60
cm to 120 cm square using the same PCB. This makes it
easy to design highly reliable fan motor installations.
Functions and Features
• Output protection Zener diode with variable withstand
voltage
Z1, Z2 pins open: VOLM = 57V (24V specification)
Z1, Z2 pins shorted: VOLM = 32V (12V specification)
External Zener diode connected across Z1 - VCC pins:
support for fans with large drive current
• External resistor allows configuration for 12V or 24V.
• Direct Hall element connection possible (built-in Hall
amplifier with hysteresis supports core without auxiliary
electrode)
• Built-in output transistor with 1.0A output current
(strengthened negative-current support for core without
auxiliary electrode)
• Built-in rotation detection function: Low during rotation
and High during stop
• Built-in lockup protection with automatic recovery
• Built-in thermal shutdown
