The flowcharts describing the TC642’s behavioral
algorithm are shown in Figure 4-1. They can be
summarized as follows:
4.1
(1) Assuming the device is not being held in shutdown
(2) Turn V
(3) During this Start-up Timer, if a fan pulse is
(4) Activate the 32-cycle Start-up Timer one more
(5) Proceed to Fan Fault.
(6) End.
4.2
Normal Operation is an endless loop which may only
be exited by entering shutdown mode or Fan Fault. The
loop can be thought of as executing at the frequency of
the oscillator and PWM.
