The AH5798 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.
To help protect the motor coil, the AH5798 provides Rotor
Lock Protection which shuts down 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
Generator (FG) Pin which allows external interface to monitor
motor rotation or speed. The FG output is the magnetic
change frequency.
The AH5798 is available in space saving SOT89-5L and
thinner TSOT25 packages.
Features
• Supports single-coil full-wave DC fan drivers
• Built-in Hall sensor and input amplifier
• Operating Voltage: 1.8V to 5.5V
• Soft switching for low noise DC fan motor applications
* Reverse connection of power supply may damage the device. To prevent reverse power damage, a protection (reverse blocking)
Diode D1 is needed between power supply and Vdd terminal. If a reverse power protection diode D1 is used, there
is no current return path to power supply, so it is necessary to follow measures such as below.
- Connect Dz (Zener diode) between Vdd and Vss terminal, to prevent voltage exceeding the absolute maximum rating of the device.
- Connect a capacitor C1 between Vdd and Vss terminal, to complete the current return path to power supply.
The AH5798 has an open-drain tachometer FG output that follows the magnetic change frequency. Typically, a pull-up resistor of 10kΩ is
Notes: 2. In “Normal spinning”, the FG changes its state at each rising edge of O1.
3. 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.
4. 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.

LIFE SUPPORT
Diodes Incorporated products are specifically not authorized for use as critical components in life support devices or systems without
the express written approval of the Chief Executive Officer of Diodes Incorporated. As used herein:
A. Life support devices or systems are devices or systems which:
1. are intended to implant into the body, or
2. support or sustain life and whose failure to perform when properly used in accordance with instructions for use provided
in the labeling can be reasonably expected to result in significant injury to the user.
B. A critical component is an y component in a life support device or system whose failure to perform can be reasonably expected
to cause the failure of the life support device or to affect its safety or effectiveness.
Customers represent that they have all necessary expertise in the safety and regulatory ramifications of their life support dev ices or
systems, and acknowledge and agree that they are solely responsible for all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements
concerning their products and any use of Diodes Incorporated products in such safety-critical, life support devices or systems,
notwithstanding any devices- or systems-related information or support that may be provided by Diodes Incorporated. Further,
Customers must fully indemnify Diodes Incorporated and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use of Diodes
Incorporated products in such safety-critical, life support devices or systems.
