65V, 3.8A Stepper Motor Driver with Integrated
Current-Sense and 128 Usteps Indexer
MAX22204
General Description
Applications
The MAX22204 is a two-phase stepper motor driver. It
● Stepper Motor Driver
integrates two 65V, 3.8A H-Bridges. The H-Bridge

FETs have very low impedance, resulting in high driving

efficiency and minimal heat. The typical total R (high-
ON
side + low-side) is 0.3Ω. The MAX22204 integrates an ac-
curate current drive regulation circuit and a 128-microstep
built-in indexer controlled by a STEP/DIR interface. The
high microstep resolution and advanced control technique
ensure smooth and quiet operations.

The non-dissipative ICS eliminates the bulky external
power resistors normally required for this function, result-
ing in a dramatic space and power saving compared with
mainstream applications based on the external sense re-
sistor. Currents proportional to the internally-sensed
bridge currents are output to pins ISENA and ISENB. By
connecting external resistors to these pins, voltages pro-
portional to the bridge currents are generated. These can
be used for diagnostic purposes.

One logic input (TRQ) allows to quickly change the current
setting among two different values for fast torque control.
The MAX22204 features Overcurrent Protection (OCP),
Thermal Shutdown (TSD), and Undervoltage Lockout
(UVLO). An open drain active low FAULT pin is activated
every time a fault condition is detected. During Thermal
Shutdown and Undervoltage Lockout, the driver is dis-
abled until normal operating conditions are restored.
The MAX22204 is packaged into a TQFN38 5mm x 7mm
package.
