Detailed Description

Fan Controller

In highly demanding situations, active thermal management in the form of a heat sink and fan may be required. In order to support this, drive circuitry for an external fan has been provided on the ML605. A fan with tach output can be connect at header J59 as shown in Figure 1-32. The fan PWM signal is generated by the FPGA and the tach input can be used to close the control loop and regulate the fan speed. Alternatively, the FPGA temperature as recorded by the System Monitor can be used to close the PWM control loop for the fan.
