PRODUCT FEATURES
EMC2301
RPM-Based PWM Fan Controller
General Description
The EMC2301 is an SMBus compliant fan controller with
a PWM fan driver. The fan driver is controlled by a
programmable frequency PWM driver and Fan Speed
Control algorithm that operates in either a closed loop
fashion or as a directly PWM-controlled device.
Each closed loop Fan Speed Control algorithm (FSC)
has the capability to detect aging fans and alert the
system. It will likewise detect stalled or locked fans and
trigger an interrupt.
Additionally, the EMC2301 offers a clock output so that
multiple devices may be chained and slaved to the
same clock source for optimal performance in large
distributed systems.

Chapter 1 Pin Description
The pin types are described in detail below. All pins labeled with (5V) are 5V tolerant.
APPLICATION NOTE: For the 5V tolerant pins that have a pull-up resistor, the voltage difference between VDD and
the 5V tolerant pad must never be more than 3.6V.

DESCRIPTION
Power
This pin is used to supply power or ground to the device.
DI
Digital Input - this pin is used as a digital input. This pin is
5V tolerant.
DO
Push / Pull Digital Output - this pin is used as a digital
output. It can both source and sink current.
DIOD
Digital Input / Open Drain Output this pin is used as a
digital I/O. When it is used as an output, it is open drain
and requires a pull-up resistor. This pin is 5V tolerant.
OD
Open Drain Digital Output - this pin is used as a digital
output. It is open drain and requires a pull-up resistor. This
pin is 5V tolerant.
