65V, 3.8A Quad Half H-Bridge Drivers with
Integrated Current Sense
MAX22208
General Description
Benefits and Features
The MAX22208 provides four individually controllable

• Fully Independent Half-Bridge Control
The power FETs have very low impedance, resulting in
high driving efficiency and low heat dissipation. The typical

RMS
The MAX22208 integrates non-dissipative current sens-
ing, which eliminates the bulky external power resistors
normally required for this function, resulting in a dramatic
space and power saving compared with mainstream appli-
cations based on the external sense resistor.
● Integrated Current Sensing (ICS) Eliminates External
Bulky Resistors and Improves Efficiency
● Current-Sense Output Monitor
● Fault Indicator Pin (FAULT)
• Overcurrent Protection for Each Individual Channel
(OCP)
• Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)
A current proportional to the internally-sensed load current
is output to the external current-monitor pins (ISEN_). By
connecting an external resistor to these pins, a voltage
proportional to the motor current is generated. The voltage
drop across the external resistors can be input into the
controller ADC whenever the control algorithm requires
the current/torque information.

The maximum output current per half H-bridge is I
=
MAX
3.8A and is limited by the overcurrent protection (OCP) cir-
cuit. This current can be driven for very short transients
and aims to effectively drive small capacitive loads.
The maximum RMS current per H-bridge is I
= 2A.
RMS
Since this current is limited by thermal considerations, the
actual maximum RMS current depends on the thermal
characteristic of the application (PCB ground planes,
heatsinks, forced air ventilation, etc.).
The MAX22208 features overcurrent protection (OCP),
thermal shutdown (TSD), and undervoltage lockout (UV-
LO). An active-low, open-drain FAULT pin is activated
every time a fault condition is detected.
During TSD and UVLO, the driver outputs are three-stated
until normal operating conditions are restored.
The MAX22208 is available in a small, 5mm x 7mm,
38-pin TQFN and 4.4mm x 9.7mm, 38-pin TSSOP pack-
age.
