G768B
Global Mixed-mode Technology Inc.
It uses pulse width modulation (PWM) method and an
on-chip MOSFET to control the fan speed to ±2% of
the programmed speed.
The desired fan speed is also programmed via
SMBus
TM
. The actual fan speed and fan status can be
read via the SMBus
TM
. Short-circuit protection is im-
plemented to prevent damages to the fan and this IC
itself. The G768B also turns on the fans by hardware
watchdog system. The fan controller would fully turn
on both fans when one of the following conditions
happens.
1. when either of the remote temperature is higher than
its own T
MAX
.
2.when either of these two remote diodes is open.
3.when both remote diodes are short
Typical Operating Circuit
The G768B also contains a microprocessor (μP) su-
pervisory circuit used to monitor the power supplies in
μP and digital systems. They provide excellent circuit
reliability and low cost by eliminating external compo-
nents and adjustments when used with 5V-powered
circuits. This circuit asserts a reset signal whenever
the V
CC
supply voltage declines below a preset
threshold, keeping it asserted for at least 140ms after
V
CC
has risen above the reset threshold. The G768B
has an active-low RESET output. The reset com-
parator is designed to ignore fast transients on V
CC
.
Reset threshold of this circuit is set to 4.38V.
The G768B is available in a small, 16-pin SSOP sur-
face-mount package.
