Product details
Overview
MP6650GJL-0000-Z from Monolithic Power Systems is a single-phase brushless DC motor driver IC with integrated Hall-effect sensor, power MOSFETs (740 mΩ total RDS(on)), and reverse-voltage protection. It delivers up to 2 A output current, operates from 3.3 V to 18 V, and features configurable speed curve, soft on/off phase transitions, and rotor lock detection via open-drain FG/RD pin. Used in CPU fan control for servers and desktops.
For engineers reviewing the MP6650GJL-0000-Z datasheet, MP6650GJL-0000-Z pinout, MP6650GJL-0000-Z application, or MP6650GJL-0000-Z equivalent, key selection criteria include integrated Hall sensing, 26 kHz fixed switching frequency, 2 kHz–100 kHz PWM input compatibility, thermal/overvoltage/rotor-lock protections, and TSOT23-6-L package footprint constraints.
Technical Context
The MP6650 implements closed-loop commutation using an embedded Hall sensor to detect rotor position and synchronize H-bridge switching with winding BEMF zero-crossing via automatic phase-lock logic. Its internal register-mapped configuration enables programmable start-up duty (0x14H), current limit (SUCL bits), and soft-switching enable (SOFTEN bit).
It integrates dual N-channel MOSFETs forming a half-bridge (OUT1/OUT2), supports PWM-based speed control with linear duty mapping, and provides dual-function FG/RD pin - configurable as tachometer output (1× or ½× Hall frequency) or open-drain rotor deadlock fault indicator with adaptive retry timing (0.6 s detection + 1.8–3.6 s lock-retry).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3.3 V to 18 V - supports wide-range 12 V fan rails and legacy 5 V or 3.3 V systems without external LDO. |
| Output Current Capability | Up to 2 A - sufficient for high-airflow CPU fans up to ~30 W mechanical load at 12 V. |
| Switching Frequency | Fixed 26 kHz - above audible range to eliminate fan coil whine and simplify EMI filtering. |
| PWM Input Frequency Range | 2 kHz to 100 kHz - compatible with standard motherboard PWM controllers and microcontroller GPIO outputs. |
| Hall Sensor Sensitivity | Operate point ±1–2 mT, hysteresis 2–4 mT - reliably detects small-gap rotor magnets in compact fan assemblies. |
| Thermal Shutdown Threshold | 150 °C with 25 °C hysteresis - enables automatic recovery after transient overload without system reset. |
| Reverse Voltage Protection | Active down to −18 V - eliminates need for external series diode in supply line, reducing BOM count and forward drop loss. |
Pinout & Package
MP6650GJL-0000-Z is housed in a TSOT23-6-L package - a 6-pin, lead-free, RoHS-compliant surface-mount package with 0.95 mm pitch, 2.9 mm × 1.6 mm footprint, and exposed pad for thermal enhancement. Pin 1 is lower-left when reading top marking left-to-right.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 GND | Power ground reference | Common return path for motor current, Hall sensor, and internal LDO; must be low-impedance connection to PCB ground plane. |
| 2 VCC | Supply input | Accepts 3.3–18 V DC; includes reverse-voltage protection and UVLO (3.25 V rising threshold) to prevent latch-up during brownout. |
| 3 FG/RD | Open-drain bidirectional signal | Configurable as tachometer (FG) or rotor lock fault (RD); requires external pull-up; outputs pulse train proportional to motor RPM or active-low fault flag. |
| 4 PWM | Speed control input | Accepts 2–100 kHz PWM; internal 41–50 kΩ pull-up enables direct MCU GPIO drive without external resistor; controls output duty cycle linearly. |
| 5 OUT2 | Motor phase output 2 | Midpoint of internal N-channel half-bridge; connects directly to one terminal of single-phase BLDC motor winding. |
| 6 OUT1 | Motor phase output 1 | Midpoint of same half-bridge; complementary to OUT2; together they drive unidirectional current through motor coil during commutation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Hall sensor with ±1–2 mT operate point | Enables self-contained rotor position sensing without external sensor placement or alignment, reducing mechanical assembly complexity. |
| Soft on/off phase transition (22.5°–45° angle) | Reduces torque ripple and acoustic noise by ramping PWM duty in ≤16 steps, minimizing abrupt current changes that cause vibration. |
| Configurable current limit (0.7 A / 1.1 A / 1.6 A / 2 A) | Allows tuning motor acceleration and stall current per fan model via OTP register SUCL[1:0], preventing overcurrent damage during startup. |
| Automatic phase-lock detection | Synchronizes switching edges to winding BEMF zero-crossing using Hall signal timing, ensuring optimal torque generation across speed range. |
| Programmable start-up duty (0x14H register) | Defines minimum PWM input duty (e.g., 12.5%) required to initiate rotation, eliminating false starts under low-duty idle conditions. |
Applications
| CPU Fan Control | Server Chassis Cooling |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar single-phase BLDC motor driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MP6651GJL-Z | Same pinout and register map; adds I²C interface for real-time parameter readback and dynamic tuning (e.g., live current limit adjustment). | Required where host MCU needs runtime diagnostics (e.g., fan health monitoring, predictive maintenance). | Select MP6651GJL-Z if firmware-level visibility into motor current, temperature, or Hall status is needed; otherwise MP6650GJL-0000-Z offers lower cost and simpler integration. |
| TB67H401FNG | Discrete gate driver + external Hall sensor; no integrated MOSFETs or reverse-voltage protection; requires 6–20 V external FETs and bias circuitry. | Suitable for higher-current (>3 A) or custom-winding motors where thermal design demands separate power stage layout. | Choose TB67H401FNG only when >2 A peak current, multi-phase topology, or specialized motor winding configurations are required - not a drop-in replacement. |
Compared with MP6651GJL-Z, MP6650GJL-0000-Z trades diagnostic flexibility for lower BOM cost and reduced layout complexity; compared with TB67H401FNG, it delivers full integration but limits max current to 2 A and fixes switching frequency at 26 kHz.

FAQ
What is the function of the FG/RD pin?
The FG/RD pin is a multifunction open-drain output. When configured via register 0x0A[1:0] = 00 or 01, it outputs a pulse train (1× or ½× Hall frequency) indicating motor RPM. When set to 11, it asserts low during rotor lock detection. External pull-up is mandatory; typical value is 4.7 kΩ to 5 V.
Does MP6650GJL-0000-Z require external MOSFETs?
No. The device integrates two N-channel power MOSFETs (HS-FET and LS-FET) forming a half-bridge with total RDS(on) of 740 mΩ (480 mΩ HS + 260 mΩ LS at 25°C). These directly drive the motor winding between OUT1 and OUT2; no external switches are needed.
How is rotor lock detection time configured?
Rotor lock detection time is fixed at 0.6 s (tRD), but the lock-retry interval is configurable via register 0x0F[5:4]. Settings 00–11 select 1.8 s, 2.4 s, 3.0 s, or 3.6 s retry delays respectively. Default is 11 → 3.6 s, allowing full recovery before re-attempting startup.
Can the output switching frequency be adjusted?
No. The MP6650 uses a fixed 26 kHz internal oscillator for H-bridge switching. This frequency is optimized to avoid audible noise and simplify EMI filter design. PWM input frequency (2–100 kHz) only controls output duty cycle, not switching frequency.
What package variant does MP6650GJL-0000-Z use?
MP6650GJL-0000-Z uses the TSOT23-6-L package: 6-pin, 2.9 mm × 1.6 mm body, 0.95 mm pitch, with pin 1 in the lower-left corner when viewing top marking left-to-right. "L" denotes normal pinout orientation (GND–VCC–FG/RD–PWM–OUT2–OUT1).
Is reverse-voltage protection active during operation?
Yes. Input reverse-voltage protection (RVP) functions continuously across the full operating range. When VCC is reversed (e.g., −18 V), internal circuitry blocks conduction and limits reverse current to ≤1 mA, protecting both the IC and upstream power source without external diodes.
How is the soft-start time selected?
Soft-start time for PWM duty transitions is set by register 0x0A[2] (TSS bit): 0 = 2.6 s, 1 = 5.2 s (default). This parameter governs the ramp rate when changing fan speed to limit inrush current and reduce mechanical stress on bearings and blades.
