Abstract
For use with a DC fan, a detection circuit and a method of detecting an operational condition thereof. In one embodiment, the detection circuit includes: (1) a sensor, coupled to the DC fan, that senses a current through the sensorless DC fan and produces an intermediate signal based thereon and (2) an alarm circuit, coupled to the sensor, that compares the intermediate signal to a range defined by an upper limit signal and a lower limit signal and generates an alarm signal when the intermediate signal is outside of the range.
