Product details
Overview
MAX14922ATE+T from Maxim Integrated is a high-side n-channel FET controller for industrial digital outputs, enabling precise current-limited switching of ground-connected inductive loads (e.g., solenoids, brakes) from +9V to +70V supplies. It integrates a 5V/50mA linear regulator, charge pump for fast gate drive, and active current limiting via external sense resistor with 30mV threshold. Designed for robust operation up to +125°C ambient.
For engineers reviewing the MAX14922ATE+T datasheet, MAX14922ATE+T pinout, MAX14922ATE+T application, or MAX14922ATE+T equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, real-world diagnostic behavior, validated package mapping, confirmed thermal shutdown at 150°C, and accurate auto-retry timing based on CBLANK capacitance - all critical for industrial high-side switch design and BOM validation.
Technical Context
The MAX14922ATE+T implements a high-side switch control architecture using an integrated charge pump to drive low-RON nMOS FETs at up to 50kHz, with gate turn-on propagation delay <20µs and gate-source on-voltage of VS +11.9V to VS +14.1V. Its current-limiting loop actively regulates VGS during overcurrent, maintaining load current at ICL = VCL/RS where VCL = 30mV (typ).
Diagnostic functionality includes independent monitoring paths: COMP input compares system voltage against 1.0V internal reference to generate LO output; OV detects VDD >39V (typ); OVCURR asserts low during current limit; RDY signals readiness by going low under undervoltage, thermal warning (>110°C), thermal shutdown (>150°C), or charge-pump overload - all with defined debounce times (200µs).
Key Specifications

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage the MAX14922ATE+T can handle continuously?
The MAX14922ATE+T supports a continuous operating supply voltage range of +9V to +70V on its VDD pin. Absolute maximum rating is +75V continuous and +85V for 100µs transients. This makes the MAX14922ATE+T suitable for 24V and 48V industrial DC systems, including brownout and surge scenarios within specification limits.
How does the MAX14922ATE+T implement current limiting, and what is the sense threshold voltage?
The MAX14922ATE+T implements active current limiting by regulating the gate-source voltage of the external nMOS FET when the voltage across the external sense resistor (connected between VDD and SNS) exceeds the internal threshold of 30mV (typical). This corresponds to ICL = 30mV / RS, allowing precise, user-defined current limits - e.g., 2A with a 15mΩ resistor.
Does the MAX14922ATE+T include thermal protection, and what are the trip points?
Yes, the MAX14922ATE+T includes two-tier thermal protection: thermal warning (THW) asserts low at +110°C (typical), providing early fault indication, and thermal shutdown (TCSHDN) activates at +150°C (typical), forcing the external FET OFF and disabling the 5V LDO. Hysteresis is 10°C for both thresholds, ensuring stable recovery after cooling.
Can the MAX14922ATE+T drive low-RON FETs efficiently, and what gate drive capability does it provide?
Yes, the MAX14922ATE+T is optimized for low-RON nMOS FETs with total gate charge (Qg) up to 50nC. Its integrated charge pump delivers gate-source on-voltage of VS +11.9V to VS +14.1V and provides 3.5mA sourcing and 3.4mA sinking capability - enabling sub-20µs IN-to-G propagation delays and efficient 20–50kHz switching.
What diagnostic outputs does the MAX14922ATE+T provide, and how are they used?
The MAX14922ATE+T provides five dedicated open-drain diagnostic outputs: OVCURR (overcurrent), THW (thermal warning), OV (overvoltage), RDY (system ready), and LO (comparator output). Each signals specific fault or status conditions - e.g., RDY goes low during undervoltage, overcurrent, or thermal shutdown - enabling real-time system-level monitoring and coordinated response by host microcontrollers.
