The fan's control pin has an internal pull-up. The 10 kOhm pull-down sets a slow fan speed. When the output of the LM26NV goes low, the fan will speed up.
Figure 7-1 Two Speed Fan Speed Control
The LM26NV switches the fan on when the measured temperature exceeds the trip temperature.
Figure 7-2 Fan High Side Drive
The LM26LV sinks causes the switch to sink the fan current when the measured temperature exceeds the trip temperature.
Figure 7-3 Fan Low Side Drive
By thermally coupling the LM26NV to the audio power amplifier, the LM26NV safeguards the amplifier from overheating, turning on the fan when it temperature exceeds the trip temperature.
Figure 7-4 Audio Power Amplifier Thermal Protection
When the measured temperature is below the trip temperature of the LM26NV, the
OS output will be high, causing the switch and relay to close. When the temperature exceeds the trip point,
OS goes low and shuts off the relay and heater.
