Product details
Overview
MAX22202ATC+T from Analog Devices is a 36V, 3.5A peak full-bridge brushed DC motor driver in a 3mm × 3mm TDFN-EP package, featuring integrated non-dissipative current sensing (ICS), configurable current drive regulation (CDR), and active fault reporting via open-drain FAULT pin. It delivers 2A RMS continuous current on a JEDEC 4-layer board 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+T datasheet, MAX22202ATC+T pinout, MAX22202ATC+T application, or MAX22202ATC+T equivalent, key selection considerations include its 0.3Ω total RDS(ON), programmable ILIM-based current limit (±5% accuracy at 0.8–2A), 1MHz current sense bandwidth, tOFF decay timing, and thermal shutdown at +165°C - all validated for space-constrained motor control with real-time torque feedback.
Technical Context
The MAX22202ATC+T implements an ENBL/PHASE/MODE logic interface with three-state bridge control, supporting slow-decay brake and synchronous fast-decay modes. Its internal CDR loop regulates peak output current by forcing fixed off-time decay when IOUT exceeds the ILIM-set threshold (ITRIP), independent of PWM duty cycle.
Current sensing occurs exclusively during energizing (forward/reverse) and slow-decay phases using low-side FET sense-FET architecture, delivering a scaled replica (KISEN = 5000 A/A) to the ISEN pin with ±3% accuracy over 0.8–2A. The FAULT pin asserts low on OCP (3.5–5A threshold), UVLO (2.67–3V), or TSD (+165°C).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | VM = 3V to 36V - supports wide-input battery-powered and industrial bus systems without external regulators. |
| Peak Output Current | 3.5A - limited by overcurrent protection; sustains short transients like motor startup/stall without external current limiting. |
| RMS Output Current | 2A - thermally limited on JEDEC 4-layer PCB at +25°C ambient; actual max depends on heatsinking and airflow. |
| Total RDS(ON) | 0.3Ω (typ) - high-efficiency switching reduces conduction loss and self-heating in compact layouts. |
| Current Sense Accuracy | ±3% (0.8–2A) - enables precise closed-loop torque control using ISEN voltage feedback into MCU ADC. |
| Thermal Shutdown Threshold | +165°C - protects silicon integrity under sustained overload; hysteresis of +30°C prevents oscillation. |
| Undervoltage Lockout | 2.67V to 3.0V rising - prevents erratic operation during brownout or weak battery conditions. |
Pinout & Package
MAX22202ATC+T is housed in a thermally enhanced 12-pin TDFN-EP (3mm × 3mm, package code TD1233+1C) with exposed thermal pad (GNDP) for PCB heat dissipation. Pin 1 is ILIM; pin 12 is FAULT. All logic inputs tolerate 0–6V; OUT1/OUT2 swing rail-to-rail up to VM.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| ILIM (Pin 1) | Configurable current limit reference | Connects external resistor (18–250kΩ) to set ITRIP per KILIM = 50kV; enables ±5% accurate stall current limiting. |
| ENBL (Pin 5) | Bridge enable control | Low disables H-bridge outputs to high-Z; used with PHASE/MODE to enter sleep mode after 2.2ms brake condition. |
| PHASE (Pin 4) | Direction control input | High = forward (OUT1=H, OUT2=L); low = reverse (OUT1=L, OUT2=H); requires ENBL=high to activate. |
| MODE (Pin 6) | Decay mode selector | High = slow-decay brake; low = fast-decay synchronous rectification; also triggers sleep mode when toggled after brake. |
| FAULT (Pin 12) | Open-drain fault indicator | Asserts low on OCP, UVLO, or TSD; requires external pullup; enables system-level fault logging without polling. |
| ISEN (Pin 8) | Current sense monitor output | Sources IISEN = IOUT / 5000; connects to GND via RISEN to generate ADC-compatible voltage (e.g., 1V at 2A with 2.5kΩ). |
| VM (Pin 11) | Main power supply input | Accepts 3–36V; requires local 1μF ceramic + 47μF bulk capacitor; powers gate drivers and charge pump. |
| GNDP (Pin 7) | Power ground / thermal pad | Must be soldered to large PCB copper pour for θJA = 41°C/W (4-layer board); critical for 2A RMS thermal performance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated current sensing (ICS) | Eliminates external shunt resistors - saves >15mm² PCB area and avoids 1–2W power loss in typical 2A applications. |
| Configurable current drive regulation (CDR) | Enables safe motor startup/stall handling by clamping peak current to user-defined ITRIP without firmware intervention. |
| ENBL/PHASE/MODE control interface | Supports both direction + decay mode selection in 3 pins - simplifies MCU GPIO usage vs. dual-PWM schemes. |
| Active fault reporting | Single FAULT pin signals OCP, UVLO, and TSD events - reduces system monitoring overhead and improves diagnostics. |
| TDFN-EP 3mm × 3mm package | Enables ultra-compact motor driver modules (< 100mm² total footprint) for handheld tools and robotic joints. |

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 interface; no integrated current sense; requires external shunt and amplifier. | Lacks ISEN output and CDR - needs MCU firmware for current limiting and torque feedback. | Choose when SPI configurability and higher voltage margin outweigh need for analog current monitoring. |
| VNH7040AS | 41V, 5.6A peak; includes current sense amplifier output (VCS); no programmable CDR; larger HTSSOP-20 package. | Provides amplified analog current output but no closed-loop regulation - relies on external control loop. | Prefer when higher peak current and built-in CSA simplify signal chain, accepting larger footprint and no auto-decay. |
Compared with TB9051FTG and VNH7040AS, MAX22202ATC+T uniquely integrates lossless current sensing *and* hardware-enforced current regulation in a 3mm × 3mm package - enabling compact, self-protecting motor control without external components or firmware-based current limiting.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous RMS current supported by MAX22202ATC+T?
The MAX22202ATC+T supports 2A RMS continuous current when mounted on a standard JEDEC 4-layer PCB at +25°C ambient temperature. Real-world capability depends on thermal design: increasing copper area, adding thermal vias under GNDP, or improving airflow can raise this value. At elevated ambient temperatures or with reduced PCB copper, derating is required per θJA = 41°C/W.
How does the current drive regulation (CDR) function in MAX22202ATC+T?
In MAX22202ATC+T, CDR activates when motor current exceeds the ILIM-set ITRIP threshold. The device forces slow-decay mode for a fixed tOFF period (20μs typ), limiting peak current without MCU involvement. This protects against startup surges and stall conditions while reducing supply bypassing demands - a hardware-level safety feature distinct from software-based current limiting.
Can MAX22202ATC+T be used without PWM control?
Yes. MAX22202ATC+T supports direct logic-level control: set PHASE and ENBL to define direction and enable state, then use MODE to select brake or fast-decay. With CDR enabled via ILIM, it can deliver regulated torque without PWM - ideal for simple on/off actuators where speed isn't controlled, only stall-safe motion is required.
What is the purpose of the ISEN pin on MAX22202ATC+T?
The ISEN pin on MAX22202ATC+T outputs a current replica (IISEN = IOUT / 5000) of the motor phase current during energizing and slow-decay phases. Connecting a resistor (e.g., 2.5kΩ) from ISEN to GND generates a proportional voltage for MCU ADC sampling - enabling real-time torque monitoring, stall detection, and closed-loop current control without external sense resistors.
Does MAX22202ATC+T include thermal protection?
Yes. MAX22202ATC+T features thermal shutdown (TSD) that disables the H-bridge and asserts the FAULT pin when junction temperature reaches +165°C. It includes +30°C hysteresis to prevent cycling. This protection operates independently of control logic and remains active even if the device is in sleep mode, safeguarding against sustained overload or poor heatsinking.
