Product details
Overview
AH5795-WU-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a single-phase Hall-effect latch fan motor driver IC integrating a Hall sensor, amplifier, and full-bridge output stage for single-coil BLDC fans. It operates from 1.8V to 6V, delivers up to 1000mA peak output current, and features rotor lock protection with automatic restart, thermal shutdown at 175°C, and open-drain FG tachometer output synchronized to magnetic change frequency - used in 3.3V/5V cooling fans for notebooks and instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the AH5795-WU-7 datasheet, AH5795-WU-7 pinout, AH5795-WU-7 application, or AH5795-WU-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include soft-switching EMI reduction, dual speed control (PWM input or Vdd modulation), FG output timing alignment with rotor position, and TSOT23-6 package compatibility with space-constrained thermal designs.
Technical Context
The AH5795 implements a Hall-latch-based commutation controller with integrated full-bridge driver and logic block that detects magnetic polarity transitions to sequence O1/O2 outputs. Its soft-switching architecture limits dV/dt to ~200 µs per edge, reducing audible noise and conducted EMI in fan applications.
Functional operation includes lock detection via stalled FG signal or abnormal O1/O2 duty ratio, triggering output disable and automatic re-start after removal of mechanical obstruction. The FG output is open-drain with 5 µA leakage and 0.4 V low-level voltage at 5 mA sink, requiring an external 10 kΩ pull-up.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.8 V to 6.0 V - Enables direct interface with 3.3 V and 5 V system rails without level-shifting. |
| Peak Output Current | 1000 mA - Sufficient to drive typical 30 mm–60 mm single-coil BLDC fans at full speed. |
| FG Output Type | Open-drain, magnetic-change-synchronized - Provides accurate RPM feedback without internal clock dependency. |
| Thermal Shutdown Threshold | 175 °C with 25 °C hysteresis - Prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor PCB heat sinking. |
| Soft-Switching Edge Rate | 200 µs typical transition - Reduces high-frequency EMI emissions below CISPR-22 Class B limits. |
| Rotor Lock Detection Timeout | 65 ms FG stall or PWM low duration - Ensures fast response to jammed fan blades while avoiding false triggers during startup. |
| Operating Ambient Range | −40 °C to +105 °C - Validated for industrial and computing thermal environments including laptop chassis hotspots. |
Pinout & Package
Package: TSOT23-6 - 1.95 mm × 2.075 mm × 0.9 mm low-profile surface-mount package with exposed pad (thermal pad not electrically connected), optimized for compact fan control modules.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Vdd | Positive power supply input | Bias source for internal circuitry and motor coil drive; also serves as speed control reference when PWM pin is tied to Vdd. |
| Vss | Ground reference | Common return path for logic, Hall sensor, and full-bridge driver; must be low-impedance for stable commutation. |
| O1 | Full-bridge output 1 | Active-low sinking/driver terminal; alternates with O2 under Hall polarity detection to energize motor coil in correct direction. |
| O2 | Full-bridge output 2 | Complementary full-bridge output; commutates with O1 to sustain unidirectional rotation in single-coil BLDC topology. |
| PWM | Speed control input | Accepts 0.02–50 kHz PWM signal; duty cycle directly modulates average coil current and fan speed; >65 ms low disables outputs. |
| FG | Frequency generator output | Open-drain tachometer output pulsing at magnetic pole transition rate; requires external 10 kΩ pull-up to Vdd for logic-level interface. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Hall sensor + amplifier | Eliminates need for external magnetic sensing components; operates across full 1.8–6 V supply range with 10–50 G operate point. |
| Dual speed control modes | Supports either Vdd-voltage scaling (36%–100% speed at 1.8–5 V) or PWM-input linear control (20%–100% duty → proportional RPM). |
| Rotor lock protection with auto-restart | Detects stalled condition via FG stall or asymmetric O1/O2 timing, shuts down outputs, and resumes drive after mechanical clearance. |
| No external timing capacitor required | Reduces BOM count and PCB area; all timing (Toff clear, lock detection, soft-switching) is internally generated and temperature-compensated. |
| Soft-switching commutation | Controls dV/dt on O1/O2 edges to limit radiated EMI and eliminate audible coil whine in quiet-system applications like medical instruments. |
Applications
| Laptop Cooling Fan Control | Industrial Instrumentation Fan |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar single-phase Hall-effect BLDC fan driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AH9485 | Higher Vdd max (7 V), no FG output, fixed 25 kHz internal oscillator instead of PWM input | Suitable for cost-sensitive fixed-speed fans; lacks tach feedback and programmable speed control | Select AH9485 only if FG monitoring and variable-speed control are unnecessary and supply may exceed 6 V. |
| DRV10970 | Three-phase driver with external Hall sensors, 12 V max, integrated current sense, no rotor lock auto-restart | Designed for higher-power multi-coil fans; requires external magnetics and more complex layout | Choose DRV10970 only for >1 W fan loads or when three-phase torque ripple reduction is mandatory. |
Compared with AH9485 and DRV10970, the AH5795-WU-7 uniquely combines integrated Hall sensing, FG tach output, dual-speed control, and auto-restart rotor lock protection in a 6-pin TSOT23 package - making it optimal for compact, intelligent, low-noise single-coil fan systems requiring diagnostics and field-serviceability.

FAQ
What is the function of the FG pin on the AH5795-WU-7?
The FG (Frequency Generator) pin is an open-drain output that pulses at the same frequency as magnetic pole transitions sensed by the internal Hall element. It provides real-time motor RPM feedback and requires a 10 kΩ external pull-up resistor to Vdd. Its low-level voltage is guaranteed ≤0.4 V at 5 mA sink current, enabling direct interface with 3.3 V or 5 V microcontrollers.
Can the AH5795-WU-7 drive a 12 V fan?
No. The AH5795-WU-7 has an absolute maximum Vdd rating of 7 V and recommended operating range of 1.8 V to 6.0 V. Applying 12 V will cause permanent damage. It is designed exclusively for low-voltage BLDC fans - typically rated for 3.3 V or 5 V operation - and must be powered within its specified supply range.
How does rotor lock protection work on the AH5795-WU-7?
Rotor lock is detected when the FG output stalls or when the PWM input remains low for longer than 65 ms. Upon detection, the full-bridge outputs (O1/O2) are disabled. Once the mechanical obstruction is removed and FG resumes pulsing or PWM goes high again, the device automatically re-starts motor commutation without external reset.
Is the TSOT23-6 package thermally adequate for continuous 1000 mA operation?
At 25°C ambient, the TSOT23-6 package supports 650 mW power dissipation, corresponding to ~650 mA at 1 V saturation drop. For 1000 mA peak loads, thermal derating is required: maximum continuous current drops to ~313 mA at 100°C ambient. Use DFN2020C-6 for higher sustained current or add copper pour and minimize trace resistance to improve thermal performance.
