EMC2101-ACZL-TR

Microchip Tech · Brushless DC (BLDC) Motor Driver · MSOP-8

EMC2101-ACZL-TR from Microchip Tech, in a MSOP-8. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 VDD power_in 3.3V power supply input for the device.
2 DP input External diode positive (anode) connection for the remote temperature sensing diode; analog input.
3 DN input External diode negative (cathode) connection for the remote temperature sensing diode; analog input.
4 FAN output Fan drive output that is software-selectable as an open-drain PWM output (default, 5V tolerant) or an analog DAC output (0V to VDD).
5 GND power_in Ground reference for the device.
6 ALERT/TACH bidirectional Open-drain 5V-tolerant I/O that operates as an active-low interrupt (ALERT) output or as a TACH input; it requires a pull-up resistor whose value defines the auto-configuration mode (see Table 4-1).
7 SMDATA bidirectional SMBus data input/output; open-drain when driven as an output, requires a pull-up resistor, and is 5V tolerant.
8 SMCLK bidirectional SMBus clock input (open-drain when driven as an output); requires a pull-up resistor and is 5V tolerant.
