Product Details

The MAX22208 evaluation kit (EV kit) provides a proven design to evaluate the +65V, 3.8A quad half H-bridge MAX22208 motor drivers. The MAX22208 can drive four solenoids, two brushed DC motors, one single stepper motor, or a combination of different loads. The MAX22208 IC integrates very low impedance FETs in a quad H-bridge configuration with a typical RON (high side plus low side) of 0.3Ω. The EV kit features headers, test points, and terminal blocks to provide an interface to the MAX22208 motor drivers. The MAX22208 integrated current-sense output ISEN_ can be monitored using test points or can be connected to an external ADC using header J5. The MAX22208 EV kit operates from an input voltage of +4.5V to +65V (VM). An on-board +3.3V regulator U2 (MAX6765TTSD2+) provides a regulated +3.3V to drive the MAX22208 logic inputs. Terminal blocks J1 and J6 are installed to provide an interface for the high voltage, high current VM inputs and motor driver outputs OUT_.
