2-PHASE HALF-WAVE HIGH VOLTAGE MOTOR PRE-DRIVER AM4406/4406F
General Description
The AM4406/4406F are 2-phase, half-wave motor predrivers fabricated for fan motors. These ICs are
equipped with lock shutdown and automatic restart
functions. The lock shutdown function turns off the
output current when the motor is under lock condition.
And when the motor is unlocked, the ICs will automatically restart and allow DC fan to run.
In addition, the AM4406 and AM4406F have RD and
FG functions respectively. The RD function is to detect
the motor status and FG function enables frequency
generation.
The AM4406/4406F are available in SOIC-8 package.
