ADJUSTABLE-SPEED SINGLE-PHASE FULL-WAVE PRE-DRIVER FOR MOTOR AM4967
General Description
The AM4967 is a single-coil, single-phase motor predriver designed by bipolar process. Its rotation speed
can be controlled through an external PWM. This IC
requires few external components and has the merit of
high efficiency which make it suitable for use in great
air volume, large current and high voltage applications.

Current limiter indicator. Fixed to 0.2V internally. Maximum allowable current is decided by external sample resistance. When the voltage of this pin
exceeds 0.2V, the output will be shut down by current limit. If this function is
not used, connect this pin to ground directly
Minimum speed setting terminal. Connect it to VREF whe n disused. In case it
is tied to other power supply for controlling, an isolated resistor is necessary
Speed control terminal. It is full speed mode when connected to ground. If the
speed is controlled by PWM mode, the frequency of control signal is 20kHz
to 100kHz. Moreover, a low pass network is necessary to transfer PWM to
DC level
PWM basic oscillation frequency generator when connected with a capacitor
of 220pF. 30kHz frequency is available.
"FG" means pin 8 is an output pin of FG signal which is used for detecting
rotation speed. "RD" means pin 8 is an output pin of RD signal, and is used
for detecting fan rotate-stop state. "FG" and "RD" can be selected according
to the requirement. This pin need to be connected with pull-up resistor when
used. A new pulse will be generated once input signal changed. Keep this pin
open when it is not to be used
Hall sensor negative input. To prevent noise, this pin is recommended to be
placed as close as possible to Hall circuit. If necessary, a capacitor may be
added between HIN+ and HIN- to reduce the influence caused by noise
Hall sensor positive input. To avoid noise, this pin is recommended to be
placed as close as possible to Hall circuit
Lock protection and auto start frequency generator. It is connected with an
external 0.47µF capacitor which decides lock-rotate time and start time. If
lock-rotate protection function is disused, please connect this pin to GND
Linear start terminal. This pin is connected to VREF externally via a capacitor
of 0.47µF to 1µF which enables fan start steadily. Start time is dependent to
the capacitance. If linear start function is not used, connect this pin to ground

Note 1: Stresses greater than those listed under "Absolute Maximum Ratings" may cause permanent damage to the device.
These are stress ratings only, and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated
under "Recommended Operating Conditions" is not implied. Exposure to "Absolute Maximum Ratings" for extended periods
may affect device reliability.

When fan rotate at low speed, its lowest speed is settable
by VMIN pin voltage. If not, fan motor stops.
2. Low Speed to High Speed Setting Mode
PWM control system works by comparing the voltage of
VPWM and COSC (1.0V to 3.0V). When VPWM voltage
is low, the transistors of the upper and lower side outputs
are ON. On contrary, when VPWM voltage is high, the
upper side transistors are OFF. And coil current re-circulates in a lower side transistor. Therefore, as the VPWM
voltage becomes lower, output ON duty becomes large.
Sequentially, coil current increases and the motor runs at
high speed which is monitored by FG output while rotation-stop state is monitored by RD output.
3. Full Speed Rotation Mode
When VPWM voltage drops to 1.0V or lower, motor fan
will run at full speed. (If the speed is not controlled,
