The MLX90297-S is the shrinked version of the MLX90297-A. It offers the same one-chip fan driver
functionality for driving single-coil brushless DC motors, into the Ultra-Thin (0.4mm) DNF8 package, with a
footprint of only 5mm
2
. The motor speed can be controlled in a highly efficient way through PWM switching
of the output half-bridge drivers. The speed control is done through a PWM input signal. The speed transfer
curve can be configured by tuning external resistors.

The hummingbird’s beating wings flap at extremely high
frequencies, typically around 50 times per second. This allows it
to fly at speeds exceeding 15 m/s, to fly backwards or to seemingly
be suspended in the air in perfect balance. What better animal to
reflect the motor/control driver and actuator capacities?
