ZXBM2001  
					ZXBM2002 ZXBM2003  
					On the ZXBM2001 the Lock/FG pin is designed to be a  
					dual function pin to provide an indication of the Fans  
					rotational speed together with an indication of when  
					the Fan has failed rotating for whatever reason (Rotor  
					Locked condition). Under correct operating conditions,  
					and with the external pull-up in place, this pin will  
					provide an output signal whose frequency will be twice  
					that of the rotational frequency of the fan. Should the  
					fa n its e lf s to p ro ta tin g fo r a n y re a s o n , i.e . a n  
					obstruction in the fan blade or a seized bearing, then  
					the device will enter a Rotor Locked condition. In this  
					condition the Lock/FG pin will go high (regardless of  
					the state of the Hall sensor) when the CLCK pin reaches  
					the VTHH threshold and will rem ain high until the fan  
					blades start rotating again.  
					4. SPD  
					- Speed control voltage input  
					This pin provides control over the Fan Motor speed by  
					varying the Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) drive ratio  
					at the Ph1 and Ph2 outputs. This control signal can take  
					the form of either a voltage input of nom inal range 2V  
					to 1V, representing 0% to 100% drive respectively, or  
					alternatively a therm istor can be attached to this pin to  
					control the voltage. A third m ethod of speed control is  
					available by the application of an externally derived  
					PWM signal and this will be discussed under the CPWM  
					pin.  
					This pin has an internal potential divider between an  
					internal 2.0V reference and Gnd (see Block Diagram )  
					designed to hold the pin at approxim ately 1.5V. This  
					will represent a drive of nom inally 50% PWM. For  
					therm al speed control a 100k NTC therm istor is  
					connected between the SPD and ground will provide a  
					drive nom inally 70% at 25°C and 100% at 50°C. As the  
					therm istor is connected in parallel with the internal  
					On the ZXBM2002 variant this pin is Lock. During  
					norm al operation the signal will be low and during a  
					Locked Rotor condition the pin will go high when the  
					CLCK pin reaches the VTHH threshold.  
					resistor the non-linearity of an NTC therm istor is For the ZXBM2003 variant this pin is FG. This signal is a  
					largely taken out. A linearity of typically ±2.5% is buffered and inverted output of the Hall signal and  
					achievable.  
					therefore provides an output signal whose frequency  
					will be twice that of the rotational frequency of the fan.  
					Lower values of therm istor can be used if needed and  
					in this situation an external potential divider will be  
					needed to set the speed range. This will take the form of  
					a resistor from the SPD pint to Vcc and a resistor from  
					the SPD pin to Gnd. Full details are given in the  
					ZXBM200x series Application Note.  
					7. CLCK - Locked Rotor tim ing capacitor  
					When in a Locked Rotor condition as described above  
					the Ph1 and Ph2 drive outputs go into a safe drive m ode  
					to protect the external drive devices and the m otor  
					windings. This condition consists of driving the m otor  
					for a short period then waiting for a longer period  
					before trying again. The frequency at which this takes  
					place is determ ined by the size of the capacitor applied  
					to this CLCK pin. For a 12V supply a value of 1.0uF will  
					typically provide an ‘On’ (drive) period of 0.33s and an  
					‘Off’ (wait) period of 4.0s, giving an On:Off ratio of 1:12.  
					If speed control is not required this pin is can be left  
					open circuit for 50% drive or tied to ground by a 10k⍀  
					resistor to provide 100% drive.  
					If required this pin can also be used as an enable pin.  
					The application of a voltage of 2.0V to VCC will to force  
					the PWM drive fully off, in effect disabling the drive.  
					5. GND - Ground  
					The CLCK tim ing periods are determ ined by the  
					following equations:  
					This is the device supply ground return pin and will  
					generally be the m ost negative supply pin to the fan.

					Ton =  
					ILCKC  
					Frequency Generator (speed) output  
					Where VTHH and VTHL are the CLCK pin threshold  
					voltages and ILCKC and ILCKD are the charge and  
					discharge currents.  
					This pin is an open collector output and so will require  
					an external pull up resistor for correct operation.
