Product details
Overview
MAX22202ATC+ from Analog Devices is a 36V, 3.5A peak full-bridge brushed DC motor driver in a TDFN12 3mm × 3mm package, featuring integrated lossless current sensing (ICS), configurable current drive regulation (CDR), and active fault reporting via open-drain FAULT pin. It delivers 2A RMS continuous current on JEDEC 4-layer PCBs at +25°C ambient and supports ENBL/PHASE/MODE control for forward/reverse/brake/fast-decay operation in compact industrial actuators and portable power tools.
For engineers reviewing the MAX22202ATC+ datasheet, MAX22202ATC+ pinout, MAX22202ATC+ application, or MAX22202ATC+ equivalent, key selection considerations include its 0.3Ω typical RDS(ON), programmable ILIM-based current limit (3.5A peak), ISEN analog current monitor output, thermal shutdown at +165°C, and compatibility with 3–36V supply rails in space-constrained motor-control designs.
Technical Context
The MAX22202ATC+ implements a fully integrated H-bridge with dual low-RON MOSFETs (0.15Ω HS + 0.15Ω LS typ), a dedicated charge pump for high-side gate drive, and embedded current regulation logic that enforces slow-decay decay mode when motor current exceeds the ILIM-set ITRIP threshold. Its ENBL/PHASE/MODE interface enables four distinct bridge states - forward, reverse, brake (slow decay), and fast-decay synchronous rectification - with MODE pin toggling determining decay behavior.
Current sensing occurs exclusively during energizing (forward/reverse) and brake phases using sense-FET techniques; no external shunt is required. The ISEN pin outputs a scaled replica (KISEN = 5000 A/A) of sensed current, supporting real-time torque feedback to MCU ADCs. Fault detection includes overcurrent protection (OCP) with 1.24–2μs blanking time, undervoltage lockout (UVLO) at 2.67–3.0V, and thermal shutdown at +165°C with 30°C hysteresis.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | VM = 3V to 36V - supports wide-input battery-powered and industrial 24V systems without external regulators. |
| Peak Output Current | 3.5A - maximum short-transient current limited by OCP; usable for motor startup/stall without external current limiting. |
| RMS Continuous Current | 2A - sustained current capability on standard JEDEC 4-layer board at +25°C ambient; derates with temperature and layout. |
| Total RDS(ON) | 0.3Ω (HS + LS typ at +25°C) - enables high-efficiency operation with <1.5W conduction loss at 2A. |
| Current Sense Accuracy | ±3% (IOUT = 0.8–2A) - enables precise closed-loop torque control using ISEN voltage feedback. |
| Fault Response Time | tOCP = 1.24–2μs blanking - suppresses false triggering during PWM switching transients while ensuring fast overcurrent shutdown. |
| Thermal Shutdown Threshold | +165°C with 30°C hysteresis - protects die integrity under overload or poor heatsinking; automatic recovery after cooldown. |
Pinout & Package
MAX22202ATC+ is housed in a thermally enhanced TDFN12 (3mm × 3mm, 0.5mm pitch) package with exposed thermal pad (GNDP). Pin 1 is ILIM; pin 12 is FAULT. All pins are CMOS-compatible with 0.8V/2.0V logic thresholds and 100kΩ internal pulldowns on IN/ENBL/PHASE/MODE.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| ILIM (Pin 1) | Current Limit Programming Input | Connects external resistor (18–250kΩ) to set ITRIP per KILIM = 50kV; disables CDR if 14kΩ used. |
| ENBL (Pin 5) | Enable Logic Input | Active-high enable; drives bridge into high-Z coast when low; initiates sleep mode after tSLEEP = 2.2ms. |
| PHASE (Pin 4) | Direction Control Input | High = forward (OUT1=H, OUT2=L); low = reverse (OUT1=L, OUT2=H); state ignored when ENBL=0. |
| MODE (Pin 6) | Decay Mode Select | High = brake/slow decay; low = fast-decay synchronous rectification; triggers sleep on high→low transition after brake. |
| FAULT (Pin 12) | Open-Drain Fault Indicator | Asserts low on OCP, UVLO, or TSD; requires external pullup; debounced for system-level fault logging. |
| ISEN (Pin 8) | Current Monitor Output | Sources IOUT/5000 (e.g., 400μA at 2A); connects to GND via RISEN for ADC-compatible voltage feedback. |
| VM (Pin 11) | Main Power Supply Input | Accepts 3–36V; requires local 1μF ceramic + 47μF bulk capacitor; powers gate drivers and LDO. |
| V18 (Pin 4 on MAX22201/22207 only) | Not present | MAX22202 does not include V18 LDO output; separate 1.8V rail must be supplied externally if needed. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Lossless Current Sensing | Eliminates external shunt resistors, saving >5mm² PCB area and reducing power loss by up to 1.5W at 2A. |
| Configurable Current Drive Regulation | ILIM resistor sets precise ITRIP (e.g., 25kΩ → 2A); prevents destructive inrush during motor stall without software intervention. |
| Three-State Decay Control | MODE pin selects between slow-decay (brake) for efficiency or fast-decay (synchronous rectification) for dynamic response. |
| Ultra-Small Thermally Optimized Package | TDFN12 3×3mm with exposed GNDP pad achieves θJA = 41°C/W on 4-layer board - enables fanless 2A operation. |
| Comprehensive Fault Protection | Single-pin FAULT output reports OCP, UVLO, and TSD events with hardware-level response - no firmware dependency. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar brushed motor driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TB9051FTG | 40V, 3.5A peak; SPI-configurable registers; no integrated ISEN output; requires external shunt for current feedback. | Preferred for automotive ASIL-B systems needing diagnostics and register visibility; lacks analog ISEN simplicity. | Select TB9051FTG when functional safety certification (ISO 26262) and programmable fault masking are required. |
| DRV8876N | 45V, 3.6A peak; integrated current sense with 10× lower scaling (KISEN = 500 A/A); no MODE pin - fixed slow/fast decay via PHASE polarity. | Better suited for cost-sensitive consumer appliances where simplified control and lower ISEN gain reduce ADC resolution burden. | Choose DRV8876N when board space allows larger HTSSOP package and design prioritizes lowest BOM cost over layout density. |
Compared with TB9051FTG and DRV8876N, the MAX22202ATC+ uniquely combines ultra-compact TDFN packaging, analog ISEN output with 5000× scaling for high-resolution torque sensing, and hardware-enforced CDR - making it optimal for space-constrained, precision-current-feedback applications where SPI overhead or external shunts are unacceptable.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous current rating of the MAX22202ATC+ under real-world conditions?
The MAX22202ATC+ supports 2A RMS continuous current when mounted on a standard JEDEC 4-layer PCB at +25°C ambient temperature. Actual operating current depends on thermal design - adding copper pour, thermal vias, or airflow can extend this rating. At +70°C ambient, derating begins at 24.4mW/°C above junction temperature, limiting practical use to ~1.5A without additional cooling. Always verify thermal performance using θJA = 41°C/W in your specific layout before finalizing the MAX22202ATC+ design.
How does the MAX22202ATC+ implement current drive regulation without an external sense resistor?
The MAX22202ATC+ uses internal sense-FET technology to monitor current flowing through both low-side MOSFETs during energizing and brake phases. This lossless method eliminates external shunts while maintaining ±3% accuracy (0.8–2A range). The sensed current feeds a closed-loop regulator that forces slow-decay operation for a fixed tOFF when exceeding the ILIM-set ITRIP. No external components are needed - just a resistor from ILIM to GND sets the trip point per Equation 1 (ITRIP = 50kV / RILIM).
Can the MAX22202ATC+ be used in fast-decay mode, and how is it enabled?
Yes - the MAX22202ATC+ supports fast-decay synchronous rectification via the MODE pin. When MODE = 0 and ENBL = 0, the device enters fast-decay mode: OUT1 and OUT2 alternate between high-Z and complementary states to actively commutate motor current. This reduces decay time versus slow-decay brake mode, improving dynamic response in high-inertia loads. Note that ISEN current monitoring is disabled during fast decay, and CDR regulation is inactive - fast decay operates only under direct PWM control.
What happens to the MAX22202ATC+ outputs during a fault condition such as overcurrent or thermal shutdown?
Upon detecting OCP, UVLO, or TSD, the MAX22202ATC+ immediately disables all gate drivers and forces OUT1 and OUT2 into high-impedance (three-state) mode. Simultaneously, the open-drain FAULT pin pulls low and remains asserted until the fault clears and VM rises above UVLO threshold. After thermal shutdown, the device stays latched off until junction temperature falls below (165°C – 30°C) = +135°C. Recovery is automatic - no reset pin or command is required. This behavior ensures fail-safe motor stoppage in the MAX22202ATC+.
Is the MAX22202ATC+ pin-compatible with other devices in the MAX2220x family, such as MAX22201 or MAX22207?
No - the MAX22202ATC+ is not pin-compatible with MAX22201 or MAX22207. While all three share the same TDFN12 package footprint and core pin functions (VM, GND, OUT1, OUT2, FAULT, ISEN, ILIM), their control interface pins differ: MAX22202 uses ENBL/PHASE/MODE (Pins 5/4/6), whereas MAX22201 uses IN1/IN2/ROFF (Pins 5/6/2) and MAX22207 uses IN1/IN2/CDROUT (Pins 5/6/2). Swapping packages requires PCB layout revision. Always verify pin mapping against the MAX22202ATC+ specific datasheet before substitution.
