TWO PHASE HALL-EFFECT SMART FAN MOTOR CONTROLLER
Description
The AH2984 is a single-chip solution for driving two-coil brushless
direct current (BLDC) fans and motors. The device includes a Hall-
effect sensor, dynamic offset correction and two complementary
open-drain output drivers with internal Zener diode protection. It is
optimized for low start-up voltage.
To help protect the motor coils, the AH2984 provides Rotor Lock
Protection which shuts down output drives if rotor lock is detected.
The device automatically re-starts when the rotor lock is removed.
Over temperature shutdown provides thermal protection for the
device.
The AH2984 is available in SIP4 and SOT89-5 packages.

Note: 4. D1 (Zener Diode) and Capacitor C are for power stabilization. Recommended value of C is 1μF/ 50V (E-Cap). Diode D2 is optional and helps
to protect the device and fan coils from reverse power conditions. The AH2984 also includes an internal reverse blocking diode at V
