DC Motor/ Fan Monitoring

DC Motor/ Fan Failure Detection Circuit


Rsense = Sensing Fan Current
R1 & C1 = Establish an average DC level at the mid point of the transistor of the current waveform and apply this voltage to the base of Q1

This DC motor/fun failure detector checks for the fluctuation in current through Rsense. A static current causes the output to go high, indicating a failure.
