LM63: Full rotation during high temperature

Part Number: LM63

Dear Technical Support Team,

I monitor temperature and control FAN rotation manually.

However output of PWM pin Hi-Z(Duty 100% full rotation) when temperature is high.

Does LM63 has auto function of Full rotation by T_CRIT limit[0x19]?

Then PWM setting is manual(0x4A bit15) 

I attached dumping register during full rotation

  • HI ttd,

    Can you please send oscilloscope shots of behavior you are seeing with PWM pin Duty Cycle changing from <100% to 100% when T-CRIT limit is hit along with the ALERT/TACH pin ?

    Also can you please clarify "Then PWM setting is manual(0x4A bit15) ". This device is only 8-bit registers.

    Also are you using a tachometer with our device?

    Thanks,
    David
  • Hi ttd,

    Please let me know if there is any update with getting this information?

    If I do not hear back I will close this ticket and if you have any further questions feel free to open a new one.

    Thanks,
    David
  • Hi David Vaseliou,

    I'm sorry my reply is delay.

    >Can you please send oscilloscope shots of behavior you are seeing with PWM pin Duty Cycle changing >from <100% to 100% when T-CRIT limit is hit along with the ALERT/TACH pin ?

    ⇒I'm trying this, however I'm struggling with good timing above.

    >Also can you please clarify "Then PWM setting is manual(0x4A bit15) ". This device is only 8-bit registers.
    ⇒I'm sorry it's typo. It is right here(0x4A bit5).
    "Then PWM setting is manual(0x4A bit5) "

  • Hi David Vaseliou,

    Does LM63 have following function?
    Now my customer is trying the LM63 and capture PWM waveform,however they'd like to now below.
    Could you reply Yes or No below?

    When your answer is "No" , I ask the pwm waveform them again.

    -------------------------------------------
    In spite of PWM setting is manual mode[0x4A Bit5] ,
    FAN rotation changes full rotation automatically by Temparature(T_CRIT limit[0x19])?

  • Hi ttd,

    Yes, the LM63 does have this feature.

    Thanks,
