Product details
Overview
MAX22205ATU+T from Analog Devices is a 65V, 7.6A single H-bridge motor driver IC designed for brushed DC and half-step stepper motor control. It integrates low-RON FETs (0.15Ω typical total), non-dissipative integrated current sensing (ICS), and programmable current drive regulation (CDR) with 16-level DAC control. It delivers 4ARMS at +24V/25°C with proper PCB thermal design and supports PWM-controlled bidirectional drive via DINA/DINB inputs.
For engineers reviewing the MAX22205ATU+T datasheet, MAX22205ATU+T pinout, MAX22205ATU+T application, or MAX22205ATU+T equivalent, key selection considerations include its 65V operating voltage, integrated ICS eliminating external sense resistors, CDR fault-monitoring CDR pin, and dual-package availability in TQFN38 (5mm × 7mm) and TSSOP38 (9.7mm × 4.4mm).
Technical Context
The MAX22205ATU+T implements a fully integrated single H-bridge with high-side and low-side N-channel MOSFETs driven by an internal charge pump (VCP = VM + 2.7V). Its current regulation uses a non-dissipative ICS architecture comparing real-time bridge current against a DAC-set threshold (ITRIP), triggering fixed tOFF decay (16–24μs, configurable via ROFF resistor) in slow/mixed/fast modes.
Control logic accepts CMOS-level DINA/DINB for direction/PWM, EN for output enable/disable, DECAY1/DECAY2 for decay mode selection, and ISET[3:0] for full-scale current programming. Fault management includes overcurrent protection (7.6A trip), thermal shutdown at 155°C, and UVLO (4.0V threshold), all reported via open-drain FAULT pin.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | VM = +4.5V to +65V - supports wide-input industrial and automotive battery systems without external regulators. |
| Total RON (HS + LS) | 0.15Ω typical - enables high-efficiency drive with minimal conduction loss and thermal rise at 4ARMS. |
| Max Output Current | 7.6AMAX impulsive - OCP-limited peak current for capacitive load startup or stepper phase surge. |
| Current Sense Accuracy | ±5% at 6A full scale - enables precise closed-loop torque/current control using ISENA/ISENB analog outputs. |
| Fixed OFF-Time Range | 16–24μs (configurable via ROFF resistor) - sets minimum decay duration for stable current regulation across PWM frequencies. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood, industrial actuator, and factory automation environments. |
| Thermal Resistance (θJA) | 28°C/W (TQFN, 4-layer board) - defines required PCB copper area and thermal vias for 4ARMS continuous operation. |
Pinout & Package
The MAX22205ATU+T is available in two RoHS-compliant packages: 38-pin TQFN (5mm × 7mm, exposed pad) and 38-pin TSSOP (9.7mm × 4.4mm). Both packages share identical pin functions and logic mapping per the manufacturer's pin description table.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| OUT1A / OUT2A OUT1B / OUT2B | H-Bridge Output Terminals | Must be externally shorted (OUT1A=OUT2A, OUT1B=OUT2B) to form single full-bridge; connect to motor terminals with low-inductance, wide PCB traces. |
| DINA / DINB | PWM Direction Inputs | CMOS-compatible logic inputs controlling H-bridge state (forward/reverse/brake); not intended for >1kHz switching. |
| EN | Enable Input | Logic-high enables driver; logic-low forces outputs to high-impedance coast mode - used for dynamic braking control. |
| ISENA / ISENB | Current Monitor Outputs | Analog current-source pins (KISEN = 7500 A/A); sink current proportional to respective half-bridge low-side conduction. |
| CDR | Current Regulation Activity Indicator | Open-drain output asserted low each time internal CDR loop activates - enables real-time regulation event logging. |
| FAULT | Fault Status Output | Active-low open-drain signal pulled low during OCP, TSD, or UVLO - requires external pull-up for microcontroller interrupt detection. |
| REF / ROFF | Analog Configuration Inputs | REF sets full-scale current (via RREF to GND); ROFF sets fixed tOFF (via RROFF to GND) - both enable precision analog tuning without digital interface. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Current Sensing (ICS) | Eliminates external power sense resistors - reduces BOM count, PCB area, and power loss while improving measurement accuracy and thermal performance. |
| Programmable Current Drive Regulation (CDR) | 16-level DAC-controlled ITRIP with ±5% accuracy - enables repeatable startup current limiting for brushed DC motors and precise phase current control in stepper applications. |
| Multiple Decay Modes | Configurable slow/mixed/fast decay via DECAY1/DECAY2 - allows optimization of torque ripple, efficiency, and electromagnetic compatibility per motor type and speed. |
| Non-Dissipative Current Monitor Outputs | ISENA/ISENB provide real-time, isolated current feedback with 0.5μs settling time - supports high-bandwidth current-loop control without signal conditioning. |
| Robust Fault Protection Suite | OCP (7.6A), TSD (155°C), UVLO (4.0V) with latched FAULT output - ensures safe operation under overload, overheating, or brownout conditions without external supervision. |
Applications
| Brushed DC Motor Control | Half-Step Stepper Motor Drive |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar H-bridge motor driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TB9051FTG | 40V max supply, 5.5ARMS, integrated SPI interface, no ISEN analog outputs | Lacks non-dissipative current monitor pins; requires external ADC or current-sense amp for closed-loop control | Preferred when digital configuration and diagnostics are prioritized over analog current feedback simplicity |
| DRV8876N | 45V max supply, 6.5AMAX, external sense resistor required, no CDR DAC or REF/ROFF analog tuning | Relies on external shunt resistor for current sensing - adds power loss, board space, and calibration complexity | Selected where cost sensitivity outweighs integration benefits and thermal footprint is less constrained |
Compared with TB9051FTG and DRV8876N, the MAX22205ATU+T uniquely combines 65V operation, integrated ICS, analog CDR tuning via REF/ROFF, and dual ISEN outputs - enabling simpler, more compact, and thermally efficient brushed/stepper drive solutions without external sensing or digital interface overhead.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current supported by the MAX22205ATU+T?
The MAX22205ATU+T delivers up to 4ARMS continuously at VM = +24V and TA = 25°C when mounted on a four-layer PCB with adequate ground plane area. This rating assumes optimal thermal layout; actual current capability scales inversely with ambient temperature and PCB thermal resistance (θJA = 28°C/W for TQFN package).
How does the MAX22205ATU+T implement current sensing without external resistors?
The MAX22205ATU+T uses non-dissipative Integrated Current Sensing (ICS) that mirrors motor current through internal FET structures. This generates proportional analog currents at ISENA and ISENB pins (KISEN = 7500 A/A), eliminating the need for power-wasting external shunt resistors while maintaining ±5% accuracy at full scale.
Can the MAX22205ATU+T drive a full bipolar stepper motor?
No - the MAX22205ATU+T contains only one H-bridge and is designed for brushed DC motors or half-step (unipolar) stepper configurations. To drive a full bipolar stepper motor, two MAX22205ATU+T devices are required - one per winding - with coordinated control of DINA/DINB and decay modes.
What is the function of the CDR pin on the MAX22205ATU+T?
The CDR pin is an open-drain output that pulses low each time the internal Current Drive Regulation (CDR) loop activates to enforce decay. This provides direct visibility into CDR activity for diagnostic logging, timing analysis, or synchronization with external controllers - without requiring interpretation of FAULT or current-sense signals.
Does the MAX22205ATU+T require external charge-pump capacitors?
Yes - the MAX22205ATU+T requires a 1μF capacitor between VCP and VM, and a 22nF flying capacitor between CP1 and CP2. These components are mandatory for high-side gate drive operation and must be placed as close as possible to the device per the layout guidelines in the datasheet to ensure stable 65V operation.
