The LTC
®
1695 fan speed controller provides all the func-
tions necessary for a power management microprocessor
to regulate the speed of a 5V brushless DC fan via a 2-wire
SMBus/I
2
C interface. Fan speed is controlled according to
the system’s required temperature profile and permits
lower fan power consumption, longer battery run time and
lower acoustical generated noise versus systems that
only provide simple on-off control for the fan.
The LTC1695 incorporates a 180mA low dropout linear
regulator, a 2-wire SMBus/I
2
C interface and a 6-bit DAC.
Fan speed is controlled by varying the fan’s terminal
voltage through the output voltage of the LTC1695’s linear
regulator. The LTC1695’s output voltage is programmed
by sending a 6-bit digital code to the LTC1695 DAC via the
SMBus. To eliminate fan start-up problems at lower fan
voltages, users can enable the LTC1695’s boost start
feature that provides the DAC’s full-scale output voltage
for 250ms before decreasing to the programmed output
voltage.
The LTC1695 includes output current limiting and thermal
shutdown as well as status monitors that can be read back
by the microprocessor during fault conditions. The
LTC1695 is available in a 5-lead SOT-23 package.

Note 1:
Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2:
INL, DNL specs are specified under a 1mA I
LOAD
condition to keep the
linear regulator from operating in dropout at higher DAC codes. DNL is
measured from code 0 to code 63, taking into account the untrimmed offset
at code 0. Please refer to the Definitions section for more details.
Note 3:
This typical specification is based on lab measurements and is not
production tested.
Note 4:
Guaranteed by design and not tested. Please refer to the Timing
Diagram section for additional information.
