Driving 2 Fans From PWM3
Note that the ADM1027 has four TACH inputs available for
fan speed measurement, but only three PWM drive outputs. If a
fourth fan is being used in the system, it should be driven from
the PWM3 output in parallel with the third fan. Figure 20
shows how to drive two fans in parallel using low cost NPN
transistors. Figure 21 is the equivalent circuit using the
REV. A

NDT3055L MOSFET. Note that since the MOSFET can
handle up to 3.5 A, it is simply a matter of connecting another
fan directly in parallel with the first.
Care should be taken in designing drive circuits with transistors
and FETs to ensure that the PWM pins are not required to
source current, and that they sink less than the 8 mA max cur-
rent specified on the data sheet.
