Montreal, Canada – Future Electronics, a leading global distributor of electronic components, is pleased to announce the launch of a new digital campaign featuring the Melexis MLX90416 single-coil, code-free fan driver IC. Engineered to simplify motor control design, the MLX90416 delivers reliable performance for 12 V and 24 V fan and pump applications across industrial and consumer markets.
The MLX90416 integrates two low-RDS(on) half-bridges and supports up to 8 A braking current with a programmable current limit of up to 4 A—often eliminating the need for an external TVS. Operating via PWM control, it offers programmable FG output for speed feedback, eight speed curve configuration points, and speeds up to 40 k mRPM for 2 pole-pair motors. Its embedded non-volatile memory, programmable via I²C, enables multiple updates and streamlined development.
Robust protection features include Locked Rotor Protection, Under-Voltage Protection with hot unplug handling, Thermal Shutdown, and Overcurrent Protection. The code-free, plug-and-play architecture eliminates complex MCU-based software validation, reducing development time and accelerating time-to-market.
For easy evaluation and programming, Melexis provides the FandriverEVB2 for device control and the FandriverProgrammerB for mass programming, along with a GUI that includes a built-in motor parameter extraction tool.
This new digital campaign highlights how the Melexis MLX90416 helps engineers design efficient, compact fan and pump solutions with minimal development effort.
