  • Winding supply circuit with current and thermal protective elements
    Patent number: 5947691
    Abstract: A winding circuit for use in a fan includes first and second integrated circuits that each include a transistor for powering first and second fan windings in the fan, and at least one of a thermal shutdown element that switches the winding circuit "off" if the integrated circuit reaches a predetermined temperature, and a current regulating circuit. The fan includes a rotor having a magnet, and a stator having a magnet sensor to alternatively transmit current to the first and second windings, which also are located in the stator. The integrated circuits may be autoprotected MOSFETs and the magnet sensor may be a Hall effect sensor.
