Product details
Overview
AH5798-WTG-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a single-phase Hall-effect latch smart fan motor controller IC designed for driving single-coil brushless DC (BLDC) cooling fans. It integrates a Hall sensor, amplifier, full-bridge driver with soft switching, rotor lock protection, thermal shutdown, and open-drain FG tachometer output. Operates from 1.8V to 5.5V and supports 3.3V/5V BLDC fans in netbooks and low-power embedded cooling systems.
For engineers reviewing the AH5798-WTG-7 datasheet, AH5798-WTG-7 pinout, AH5798-WTG-7 application, or AH5798-WTG-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include integrated Hall sensing, soft-switching EMI reduction, rotor lock auto-restart behavior, FG output timing alignment with magnetic transitions, and TSOT25 package thermal performance at 105°C ambient.
Technical Context
The AH5798 implements a closed-loop commutation control architecture using an on-chip Hall latch to detect rotor position and drive complementary O1/O2 outputs via a soft-switching full-bridge. Magnetic hysteresis (50 G typ.) ensures robust operation across temperature and supply voltage variations (1.8–5.5 V).
Functional block integration includes lock-detection logic that forces output shutdown upon stalled-rotor detection and initiates automatic restart once mechanical obstruction clears. The FG output directly reflects magnetic polarity transitions-not motor RPM-enabling precise commutation monitoring without external timing components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.8 V to 5.5 V - Enables direct interface with 3.3 V and 5 V system rails without level-shifting. |
| Peak Output Current | 800 mA - Sufficient to drive typical 30 mm–60 mm single-coil BLDC fans at rated speed and load. |
| FG Output Type | Open-drain frequency generator - Requires external 10 kΩ pull-up; output toggles per magnetic pole transition, not per revolution. |
| Operating Ambient Temp | −40 °C to +105 °C - Validated for industrial-grade fan control in enclosed thermal environments. |
| Magnetic Sensitivity | BOP: 10–50 G, BRP: −50 to −10 G - Ensures reliable latching across air-gap variations and magnet aging. |
| Soft-Switching Duration | 100 μs typ. - Reduces audible noise and conducted EMI during commutation edges in fan applications. |
| Thermal Shutdown Threshold | Internally set - Activates before junction temperature exceeds safe operating limit; hysteresis enables automatic recovery. |
Pinout & Package
Package: TSOT25 - 5-pin, low-profile (0.6 mm max height), RoHS-compliant green molding compound; optimized for space-constrained fan modules and notebook thermal subsystems.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Vdd | Positive power supply input | Accepts 1.8–5.5 V; requires local 0.1 µF bypass capacitor to Vss for stable operation. |
| Vss | Ground reference | Return path for all internal circuits and output stage; must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane. |
| O1 | Full-bridge output 1 | Drives one side of motor coil; switches between high-Z and sink states under Hall-latched control logic. |
| O2 | Full-bridge output 2 | Complementary to O1; provides push-pull-like drive without external H-bridge transistors. |
| FG | Frequency generator output | Open-drain output synchronized to magnetic field transitions; used for speed verification and stall detection. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Hall-effect latch | Eliminates need for external sensor and signal conditioning; operates down to 1.8 V supply with 50 G hysteresis. |
| Soft-switching commutation | Reduces dv/dt-induced EMI and acoustic noise by limiting edge slew rate to 100 μs, critical for quiet fan designs. |
| Rotor lock protection | Detects stalled condition within milliseconds, shuts off O1/O2, and automatically re-engages drive after mechanical clearance. |
| No external timing capacitor | Enables fully self-contained operation-no RC network required for startup or speed regulation-reducing BOM count by one component. |
| Tachometer (FG) output | Provides real-time feedback aligned to magnetic transitions, enabling firmware-based stall diagnostics without additional sensors. |
Applications
| Netbook Cooling Fan Control | Notebook Thermal Management |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar single-phase BLDC fan controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AH9485 | Higher Vdd max (20 V), no integrated Hall sensor - requires external latching Hall IC and biasing network. | Targeted at higher-voltage industrial fans (12–24 V); lacks rotor lock auto-restart and soft switching. | Select when operating above 5.5 V or needing field-replaceable sensor architecture. |
| AH9486 | Same package and pinout as AH5798 but adds PWM speed control input; no FG output. | Used where variable-speed command is delivered externally via PWM rather than inferred from FG feedback. | Choose when host MCU provides dynamic speed profiles and FG telemetry is unnecessary. |
Compared with AH9485 and AH9486, the AH5798-WTG-7 delivers a complete, self-timed solution for low-noise 3.3/5 V fans - integrating sensing, drive, protection, and telemetry in one TSOT25 package - whereas alternatives trade integration for voltage range or control flexibility.

FAQ
What is the function of the FG pin on the AH5798-WTG-7?
The FG (Frequency Generator) pin is an open-drain output that toggles with each magnetic polarity transition detected by the internal Hall latch-not per motor revolution. Its frequency matches the magnetic change rate, enabling stall detection and commutation timing verification. A 10 kΩ pull-up resistor to Vdd is required for proper logic-level output.
Does the AH5798-WTG-7 require external components for basic operation?
Yes, but minimally: a 0.1 µF ceramic bypass capacitor between Vdd and Vss is mandatory, and a 10 kΩ pull-up resistor on the FG pin is recommended. Unlike many fan drivers, it needs no external timing capacitor, Hall bias resistors, or current-sense networks due to full integration of sensing and control logic.
How does rotor lock protection work on the AH5798-WTG-7?
Rotor lock detection monitors O1/O2 switching activity and magnetic transition timing. If no Hall transitions occur for a defined interval while power is applied, the device disables both outputs and enters a low-power hold state. Upon detection of magnetic movement, it automatically initiates controlled ramp-up to nominal speed without host MCU involvement.
Can the AH5798-WTG-7 drive a 12 V fan?
No. The AH5798-WTG-7 has an absolute maximum Vdd rating of 6 V and a recommended operating range of 1.8 V to 5.5 V. Attempting to operate it at 12 V will cause permanent damage. For 12 V fans, Diodes recommends the AH9485, which supports up to 20 V supply and uses an external Hall sensor.
