Normal Operation
Normal operation consists of the PWM operating to
control the speed of the fan according to VT1 and VT2.
Exceptions to this otherwise indefinite behavior can be
caused by any of three conditions: VT1 exceeding VOT,
an overtemperature condition; VT1 being pulled below VIL
initiating a device shutdown and reset; or both VT1 and
VT2 falling below VSLP, activating sleep mode. Each of
these exceptions is treated as follows:

Figure 4. Normal System Behavior
• Overtemperature: If the system temperature rises
typically 7% above the 100% duty-cycle operating
point, /OTF will be activated to indicate an
overtemperature fault. (VT1 > VOT) Overtemperature
detection is essentially independent of other
operations — the PWM continues its normal
behavior; with VT1 > VPWM(max), the output duty-cycle
will be 100%. If VT1 falls below VOT, the
overtemperature condition is cleared and /OTF is no
longer asserted. It is assumed that in most systems,
the /OTF output will initiate power supply shutdown.
• Shutdown/Reset: If VT1 is driven below VIL an
immediate, asynchronous shutdown occurs. While in
shutdown mode, OUT is off (low), and /OTF is
unconditionally inactive (high/floating). If VT1
subsequently rises above VIH, a device reset will
occur. Reset is indistinguishable from a power-up
condition. The state of /OTF is cleared, a startup
interval is triggered, and normal fan operation
begins.
MIC502
• Sleep: If VT1 and VT2 fall below VSLP, the device
enters sleep mode. All internal functions cease
unless VT1 or VT2 rise above VWAKE. (VWAKE = VSLP +
VHYST). The /OTF output is unconditionally inactive
(high/floating) and the PWM is disabled during sleep
(OUT will float).
Sleep Mode
During normal operation, if VT1 and VT2 fall below VSLP,
the device will go into sleep mode and fan operation will
stop. The MIC502 will exit sleep mode when VT1 or VT2
rise above VSLP by the hysteresis voltage, VHYST. When
this occurs, normal operation will resume. The
resumption of normal operation upon exiting sleep is
indistinguishable from a power-on reset. (See “Sleep:
Normal Operation,” above.)
