LM96063: LM96063: External Programmer Options

Part Number: LM96063
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMP390, TMP302

Hello, is there a programmer available that can be used to program the LM96063? Also, what software would be needed?
The goal is to externally program the fan controller once. Thanks.

Hi Talal,

The LM96063 does not contain nonvolatile memory. You will have to configure it each time it powers on. We don't have a fan controller in our portfolio with nonvolatile memory.

thanks,

Hello Ren,

Thanks for the information. Does TI offer any automatic controllers for 4-wire fans (+12V, GND, TACH, PWM - 25KHz) that can have thermal thresholds set by on-board straps? The MAX6643 is an example from Maxim.

Hi Talal,

We have temperature switches which have pin or resistor configurable trip points (notably TMP390 or TMP302,) but no fan controller. The switches have just a digital on or off output where fan controllers have PWM speed control.

Here is a link to our temperature switches: https://www.ti.com/sensors/temperature-sensors/products.html#o7=Temperature%20switches

Here is a link to our fan controllers (PWM output): https://www.ti.com/sensors/temperature-sensors/products.html#p2192=PWM%20output

thanks,

ren
