MAX14871
4.5V to 36V Full-Bridge DC Motor Driver
General Description
The MAX14871 DC motor driver provides a low-power
and simple solution for driving and controlling brushed
motors with voltages between 4.5V and 36V. Very low
driver on resistance reduces power during dissipation.
The MAX14871 features a charge-pump-less design for
reduced external components and low supply current.
Integrated current regulation allows user-defined peak startup
motor currents and requires minimal external components.
The MAX14871 includes 3 modes of current regulation:
fast decay, slow decay, and 25% current ripple modes.
Current regulation based on 25% ripple simplifies the
design and enables regulation independent of motor
characteristics. A separate voltage sense input (SNS) reduc-
es current-sensing errors due to parasitic trace resistance.
The MAX14871 features shoot-through protection 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 MAX14871 is available in a 16-pin TSSOP-EP package
and operates 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.

Note 3:
A
V
is the fixed voltage gain of the internal current sense amplifier. It is the factor by which the V
SNS
voltage is multiplied for
comparison with the external VREF voltage when using external VREF current regulation. See the Applications Information
section for more information.
