MAX14870/MAX14872
Compact 4.5V to 36V
Full-Bridge DC Motor Drivers
General Description
The MAX14870/MAX14872 motor drivers provide a small,
low-power and simple solution for driving and controlling
brushed DC motors and relays with voltages between
4.5V and 36V. Very low driver on-resistance reduces
power dissipation.
These drivers feature a charge-pump-less design for
reduced external components and low supply current.
Integrated fast-decay current regulation allows user-
adjustable peak startup motor currents and requires mini-
mal external components.
A separate voltage-sense input (SNS) reduces current
sensing errors due to parasitic trace resistance.
The MAX14870/MAX14872 features shoot-through protec-
tion and internal free-wheeling diodes that absorb inductive
motor currents. Driver outputs are short-circuit-protected
from shorts to ground, to the supply, and between M1 and
M2. An active-low
FAULT
output signals thermal overload
and overcurrents during fault conditions.
The MAX14870 has PWM and direction-control inputs,
while the MAX14872 has forward and reverse inputs for
direction control. See the
Function Tables.
The MAX14870/MAX14872 are available in a 12-pin
(3mm x 3mm) TDFN-EP package and operate over the
-40°C to +85°C temperature range.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional operation of the device at these
or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect
device reliability.
