NVT224
dbCOOLt Remote Thermal
Monitor and Fan Controller
The NVT224 dbCOOL controller is a thermal monitor and multiple
PWM fan controller for noise−sensitive or power−sensitive
applications requiring active system cooling. The NVT224 can drive a
fan using either a low or high frequency drive signal, monitor the
temperature of up to two remote sensor diodes plus its own internal
temperature, and measure and control the speed of up to four fans so
that they operate at the lowest possible speed for minimum acoustic
noise.
The automatic fan speed control loop optimizes fan speed for a
given temperature. The effectiveness of the system’s thermal solution
can be monitored using the THERM input. The NVT224 also provides
critical thermal protection to the system using the bidirectional
THERM pin as an output to prevent system or component overheating.
The NVT224 has been through Automotive Qualification according
to AEC−Q100 Grade 1 standards.
