Overview

The MAX22203ATU+ is a dual 65V, 3.8A brushed DC motor driver featuring integrated current sensing and regulation. It provides two independent half-bridges that can be configured to drive one or two brushed DC motors, or a single stepper motor, with a wide supply range from 4.5V to 65V.

Why Choose This Part

This driver eliminates the need for external power-sense resistors by integrating current sensing, which reduces board space and BOM cost. It offers high efficiency with low-power sleep modes (20uA typical) and robust protection features including overcurrent, undervoltage lockout, and thermal shutdown.

Applications

Brushed DC Motor Control
Driving industrial actuators and tools with high-current requirements up to 3.8A.
Stepper Motor Driving
Precise open-loop positioning in robotics and CNC applications using dual half-bridge channels.
Solenoid and Valve Control
High-voltage switching for industrial latched valves and large inductive solenoids.
Industrial Robotics
Powering joint actuators and grippers where a small 5x7mm TQFN footprint is critical.
