MH 276

Complementary Output Hall Effect Latch

MH-276 is integrated Hall sensors with output drivers, mainly designed for electronic
commutation of brushless DC fans. This IC internally includes the regulator, protecting
Diode, Hall plate, amplifier, comparator, and a pair of complementary open-collector outputs (DO,
DOB). It can provide one-chip solution for driving two-coil brushless DC cooling Fans. A novel
Vdd recovery circuit allows the complete two-wire fan control circuit to fit in a small four pin
package on Pb free process.
While the magnetic flux density (B) is larger than operate point (Bop), DO will turn on
(low), and meanwhile DOB will turn off (high). Each output is latched until B is lower than release
point (Brp), and then DO, DOB transfer each state.
For DC fan application, sometimes need to test power reverse connection condition.
Internal diode only protects chip-side but not for coil-side. If necessary, add one external diode to
block the reverse current from coil-side
