What micro controller is this?

Former Member
Former Member over 12 years ago

Hi,

 

I recently dissasembled this tower fan: http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/mtw-16-silver-mini-tower-fan-new-9-787355 because i wanted to run it from some relays but the fan by default starts on the lowest speed and i wanted to run it on the highest speed when i open the case i found the component seen below and i think it could be a micro controller but i dont want to bypass anything without knowing what its job is ect. I wanted to look at the code on the controller to try and modify it. I have an arduino at home this i could connect the controller to maybe to edit?

 

Any help would be much appriciated image

 

If other details of the board are required i can can try and provide them eg other pictures.

 

Iimage

The writing on the chip is hard to read but its: PT2128C-C23-S

                                                                               SD04Z

                                                                               BBAF3

 

I've attached pictures of the front and back if they are any help image

 

Many thanks in advance image

    Try a Google search with "PT2128C".  It displays various sites that claim to have data sheets.  It is identified as a "Remote Fan Controller".

    I quickly googled PT2128C and found this site

     

    http://www.utsource.net/ic-datasheet/PT2128C-C21-S-396823.html

     

    it identifies what is probably a relative of the chip you have, since it is id'd as a Remote Fan Controller IC.

     

     

    I'd start there and see where it will lead you.
