Product details
Overview
MAX22207ATC+ from Analog Devices is a 36V, 3.5A peak full-bridge brushed DC motor driver with integrated non-dissipative current sensing (ICS), current drive regulation (CDR), and open-drain CDR monitor output (CDROUT). It delivers 2A RMS continuous current on a JEDEC 4-layer board at +25°C ambient, features 0.3Ω typical total RDS(ON), and operates across –40°C to +125°C for industrial motor control in compact space-constrained systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX22207ATC+ datasheet, MAX22207ATC+ pinout, MAX22207ATC+ application, or MAX22207ATC+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its dedicated CDROUT fault-monitoring capability, ILIM-programmable 3.5A peak current limit, ISEN analog current replica output, TDFN12 3mm × 3mm package footprint, and support for PWM-based speed/torque control with stall-safe CDR operation.
Technical Context
The MAX22207ATC+ implements a single-channel H-bridge using low-RDS(ON) N-channel MOSFETs (0.15Ω HS + 0.15Ω LS typ), driven by an integrated charge pump and level-shifted gate drivers. Its embedded current drive regulation (CDR) activates when motor current exceeds the ILIM-set ITRIP threshold, forcing fixed 20μs slow-decay off-time (tOFF) independent of external PWM timing.
Current sensing occurs exclusively during energizing (forward/reverse) and brake (slow-decay) phases via sense-FET architecture - delivering a proportional 1/5000-scaled current output on ISEN - while CDROUT provides an open-drain active-low signal asserting only when CDR is actively regulating, enabling real-time loop supervision without ADC polling.
Key Specifications

FAQ
What is the function of the CDROUT pin on the MAX22207ATC+?
The CDROUT pin on the MAX22207ATC+ is an open-drain output that asserts low only when the internal current drive regulation (CDR) circuit is actively limiting motor current - for example, during startup or stall. Unlike the FAULT pin, CDROUT does not indicate failure conditions; instead, it provides deterministic confirmation that CDR is engaged, enabling precise software-based torque monitoring and diagnostics in the MAX22207ATC+.
How do I configure the current limit threshold for the MAX22207ATC+?
The current limit threshold (ITRIP) of the MAX22207ATC+ is set by connecting an external resistor between the ILIM pin and GND. Using Equation 1 (ITRIP = 50kV / RILIM), a 25kΩ resistor yields ~2A ITRIP. The MAX22207ATC+ supports RILIM values from 18kΩ to 250kΩ, enabling ITRIP tuning from approximately 0.2A to 2.8A - all without modifying firmware or external control logic.
Does the MAX22207ATC+ support fast-decay operation?
No, the MAX22207ATC+ supports only slow-decay (brake) and coast modes via its IN1/IN2 interface - it lacks dedicated fast-decay control logic or MODE pin functionality found in the MAX22202 variant. During CDR activation, the device enforces fixed 20μs slow-decay off-time. Fast-decay operation requires external PWM timing control and is not natively supported by the MAX22207ATC+ architecture.
What is the maximum continuous current the MAX22207ATC+ can deliver in practice?
The MAX22207ATC+ is rated for 2A RMS continuous current under JEDEC 4-layer board conditions at +25°C ambient. Real-world maximum depends on thermal design: with adequate copper area, thermal vias, and airflow, sustained 2A is achievable; exceeding this risks thermal shutdown (TSD at +165°C). Peak 3.5A is permitted only for short transients - not continuous operation - and is enforced by OCP, not thermal limits.
Can the ISEN output of the MAX22207ATC+ be used with a standard microcontroller ADC?
Yes - the ISEN pin of the MAX22207ATC+ sources a current equal to IOUT/5000 (e.g., 400µA at 2A), which becomes a voltage when routed through an external resistor to GND. Selecting RISEN = 2.5kΩ yields 1V full-scale for a 2A max current, matching common 1V–3.3V ADC ranges. No buffer is needed if the MCU ADC input impedance exceeds 100kΩ, as specified in the MAX22207ATC+ datasheet.
