Fans feature intelligent thermal control capabilities

Sunon, Inc., has announced the Smart Fan products line, offering internal methods to control fan speeds according to ambient temperatures. The Smart Fan concept offers a variety of sensor technologies provided within the immediate fan housing.

These range from the use of thermistors, to Hall effect sensors, to Chip-On-Board (COB) thermal controller devices. The fans are available for volume requirements in sizes from 40 x 40 x 15 mm up to 120 x120 x 38 mm. Units come with a linear ramp control, featuring two temperature set points (no limit). An optional switch function also provides programmable temperature-based control for turn-on/turn-off (such as turning off when temperature falls to 35°C, etc.).

The line is also available with the following options: Delay Start - enables fans to be hot-swapped or changed without powering down the system. Ramp Start - prevents inrush currents, placing less stress on circuits. Current Limitation and Fan Speed Limitation - fan runs at constant speed while operating at higher-than-rated voltage. Fan Performance Sensor (FPS) - provides preset RPM threshold, delay, non-latching and latching functions to determine fan failures. Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) - Controls fan speed by switching the power on and off very rapidly.
