Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses exceeding the absolute maximum ratings may damage the device. The device may not function or be
operable about the recommended operating conditions and stressing the parts to these levels is not recommended.
In addition, extended exposure to stresses above the recommended operating conditions may affect device
reliability. The absolute maximum ratings are stress rating only.

Note: VPWM is a reference voltage used for internal PWM generation.
When the system needs speed control, the FA1210 can work in full speed mode, variable speed mode or
minimum speed mode.
a. Full Speed Mode
When ambient temperature is over expected value, VTH input voltage may be set to value lower than VPWM low
side voltage using external thermistor, motor fan will then be driven at full speed.
