The AH5794 is a single chip solution for driving single-coil
brushless direct current (BLDC) fans and motors. The
integrated full-bridge driver output stage uses soft switching to
minimize audible switching noise and electromagnetic
interference (EMI) providing a low noise solution.
Low operating voltage down to 1.8V allows motor speed to be
controlled by varying the supply voltage.
To help protect the motor coil, the AH5794 provides Rotor
Lock Protection which shuts down the output drive 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.
A Tachometer output is provided by open-drain Frequency
NEW PRODUCT
Generator (FG) Pin which allows external interface to monitor
motor rotation or speed. The FG output is the magnetic
change frequency.
The AH5794 is available in space saving and low profile
TSOT26 and U-DFN2020C-6 packages.

Notes: 2.The AH5794 has an open-drain tachometer FG output that follows the magnetic change frequency. Typically a pull-up resistor of 10k is
recommended from FG pin to the supply voltage.
Notes: 3. Stresses greater than the 'Absolute Maximum Ratings' specified above, may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only;
functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions exceeding those indicated in this specification is not implied. Device reliability
may be affected by exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods of time

Notes: 6. In “Normal spinning, the FG changes its state at each edge of O1.
7. When the motor locks with South pole at the Hall element, O2 is kept on “L” and O1 is a clock with Ton/Toff ratio.
When motor locks with North pole at the Hall element, O1 is kept on “L”, O2 is a clock with Ton/Toff ratio.
8. When “Re-start spinning” occurs, the motor speed ramps up to the “Normal Spinning” speed from zero.
Speed ramp-up profile depends on motor characteristics.
9. X: H or L depends on magnetic pole North or South
