Theory of Operation. Figure 1 illustrates a fan motor circuit used in an automobile application. The TPIC2101. 27.4 kω AREF. In many applications, a key design goal is to minimize variations in power delivered to a load as the supply voltage varies. This application brief describes a simple DC brush motor control circuit using
