Using Bipolar Driver Transistors All component selections should be made based on the information provided in the Applications section of the TC64X and TC64XB data sheets. Table 2-1 lists typical fan module operating configurations for 12V fan applications. These are provided as a guide only.
Substituting a logic level MOSFET for Q (such as a BS170) results in lower system voltage losses and significantly reduces output loading on the TC64X and TC64XB devices. The low R of the MOSFET (1Ω in the case of the BS170) enables it to be DSON used instead of the Darlington configuration in high-current fan applications.
