Product details
Overview
AH5792-YG-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a single-phase Hall-effect latch smart fan motor controller in SOT89-5L package, integrating full-bridge driver, Hall sensor amplifier, rotor lock detection, and open-drain tachometer (FG) output. It operates from 1.8V to 5.0V, delivers up to 500mA peak output current, and generates FG pulses at half the magnetic pole transition frequency-designed for ultra-thin cooling fans and micro-vibration motors in space-constrained 3.3V/5V systems.
For engineers reviewing the AH5792-YG-13 datasheet, AH5792-YG-13 pinout, AH5792-YG-13 application, or AH5792-YG-13 equivalent, key selection considerations include its bidirectional full-bridge topology, lock-detection self-restart behavior, low-voltage startup capability, FG timing relationship to magnetic transitions, and dual-package availability (SOT553/SOT89-5L) with distinct thermal performance curves.
Technical Context
The AH5792 implements a Hall-sensor-based commutation logic block that drives complementary O1/O2 outputs to energize a single-coil BLDC motor. Its internal lock detector monitors stalled rotor conditions by analyzing Hall signal persistence and triggers automatic restart with ramp-up timing dependent on motor inertia.
The FG output is an open-drain frequency generator synchronized to magnetic pole transitions: each FG pulse corresponds to two magnetic edge events (i.e., FG = ½ × magnetic change frequency), enabling accurate RPM monitoring via external pull-up resistor (e.g., 10kΩ to 5V). No external timing capacitor is required for basic operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Vdd Operating Range | 1.8V to 5.0V - enables direct interface with 3.3V and 5V logic rails without level-shifting |
| Peak Output Current | 500mA (SOT89-5L) - supports higher-torque micro-fans and vibration motors vs. SOT553 variant |
| FG Output Ratio | ½ × magnetic change frequency - provides deterministic RPM scaling for hardware monitoring ICs |
| Bop / Brp | 10–50G / –50 to –10G - wide magnetic hysteresis (60G typ.) ensures robust commutation under mechanical vibration |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +100°C - validated for industrial-grade cooling fan environments including enclosed enclosures |
| Power Dissipation | 800mW @ 25°C (SOT89-5L) - enables continuous drive in compact thermal footprints with derating above 25°C |
| Supply Current | 3.5–5mA (no load) - minimizes standby power draw in always-on thermal management subsystems |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT89-5L - thermally enhanced 5-pin small-outline transistor package with exposed thermal pad; footprint optimized for high-power-density fan control in <1.5mm profile applications.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Vdd | Positive supply input | Accepts 1.8–5.0V; reverse-polarity protection diode required externally per datasheet Note 4 |
| O1 | Full-bridge output 1 | Sinks or sources current to drive one side of single-coil motor; complements O2 for bidirectional rotation |
| Vss | Ground reference | Common return path for Vdd, O1, O2, and FG; must be low-impedance for stable Hall amplification |
| FG | Open-drain tachometer output | Drains current only; requires external pull-up to system voltage; toggles at half magnetic transition rate |
| O2 | Full-bridge output 2 | Complementary to O1; enables full-wave excitation of single-coil motor without external H-bridge |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rotor lock detection & auto-restart | Prevents coil burnout during stall by halting drive, detecting persistent Hall state, then ramping motor from zero speed |
| No external timing capacitor | Reduces BOM count and PCB area-commutation timing derived entirely from internal Hall signal processing |
| Low-voltage startup (1.8V) | Enables integration into battery-powered or low-dropout regulator-fed systems where rail collapse may occur |
| Green packaging | Fully RoHS 3 compliant, halogen- and antimony-free molding compound meeting Diodes' "Green" definition (<900ppm Br/Cl, <1000ppm Sb) |
| Dual-package support | SOT553 (3000/reel) and SOT89-5L (2500/reel) allow trade-off between board space (SOT553) and thermal/power (SOT89-5L) |
Applications
| Ultra-Thin Laptop Cooling Fans | Smartphone Haptic Vibration Motors |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar single-phase Hall-effect fan motor controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AH9485 | Higher Vdd max (6.5V), lower Bop (8G typ.), no FG output - uses analog speed control instead of digital tach feedback | Targeted at cost-sensitive 5V fans where RPM monitoring is unnecessary; lacks lock-detection auto-restart | Select when tachometer output is not required and design tolerates wider magnetic sensitivity variation |
| ZXBM5210 | Integrated Zener clamp on Vdd, higher IO(PEAK) (600mA), but requires external timing capacitor for lock detection timeout | Used in automotive cabin fans where reverse-polarity tolerance is mandatory; FG output not implemented | Choose only if reverse-voltage protection is needed at chip level and external capacitor placement is acceptable |
Compared with AH9485 and ZXBM5210, AH5792-YG-13 uniquely combines FG-based RPM monitoring, lock-detection auto-restart, and capacitor-free operation in a thermally capable SOT89-5L package-making it optimal for space-constrained, feedback-critical cooling and haptic applications.

FAQ
What is the relationship between FG output frequency and motor RPM?
The FG output toggles at half the magnetic pole transition frequency. For an eight-pole fan (4 N-S pairs per revolution), one full rotation produces 4 magnetic transitions, so FG frequency = (RPM × 4) ÷ 60 ÷ 2 = RPM ÷ 30. Thus, 3000 RPM yields 100Hz FG signal-enabling direct RPM calculation without division in firmware.
How does rotor lock detection trigger automatic restart?
Lock detection activates when Hall sensor output remains static beyond a fixed internal timeout. The IC then disables both O1 and O2, waits briefly, then applies alternating drive pulses to O1/O2 with increasing duty cycle until Hall signal resumes-effectively "jogging" the rotor free before resuming normal commutation.
Can AH5792-YG-13 drive a 12V fan?
No. Absolute maximum Vdd is 6V, and recommended operating range is 1.8V–5.0V. Driving a 12V fan would exceed voltage ratings and damage the device. For 12V fans, use a compatible gate driver or higher-voltage motor controller such as the DIODES ZXBM5210 or ON Semiconductor LV8548MC.
Is reverse-polarity protection built-in?
No. The datasheet explicitly warns that reverse connection of the power supply will break the device. External protection is mandatory: a series Schottky diode (D1) from input to Vdd, plus a Zener clamp (Dz) and bypass capacitor (C1) between Vdd and Vss, as shown in Figure 1 of DS31641 Rev. 8-3.
