12V BLDC Server Fan with Sensorless Sinusoidal Control

Description

This is a reference design for a 12V 3-phase brushless DC fan: intended for server cooling applications.  It is based on a single IC controller: the DRV10975: which drives sensorless BLDC motors with sinusoidal current that minimizes acoustic noise and torque ripple.  The design requires no microcontroller or firmware: enabling a faster time to market.

Features
  • Cost-optimized and high performance.Runs Sunon's standard off the shelf  BLDC  fan (SG40281B1): and PCB matches the form factor.Supports 20k RPM with 12V 7W input.Sinusoidal sensor-less control at 25kHz for minimized torque ripple and audible noise.Flexible support across other fan models with its tunable register settings.Design has been built and proven.
Applications
  • Spectrometer
