Working Principle

NCT3940S-A TR\' working principle is to act as an on/off switch between the power supply and the motor circuit. When the motor is idle, the NCT3940S-A TR stays in the off state, keeping the motor circuit disconnected from the power supply. To enable the flow of power, the NCT3940S-A TR has to be turned on. The on/off state of the switch is controlled by a gate signal. This gate signal can be generated by a microcontroller or an external switch. When the gate signal is high, the switch will be turned on and the power supply will be connected to the motor circuit. Conversely, when the gate signal is low, the power supply will be disconnected from the motor circuit.

The NCT3940S-A TR has an over-temperature protection (OTP) circuit that monitors the temperature of the chip. When the temperature rises above a certain level, the chip will automatically turn off the switch to prevent overheating. This helps to ensure that the motor circuit is protected from damages due to overheating.
