Analog Devices MAX22217 Product Info

The MAX22216/MAX22217 integrate four programmable 36V half-bridges. It is primarily intended to drive inductive loads such as on-off solenoid valves, DC motors, proportional valves, bi-stable valves, relays, etc. The MAX22216 is capable of up to 3.2A_FS per half-bridge, whereas the MAX22217 is capable of up to 1A_FS per half-bridge. The MAX22216/MAX22217 operate from -40°C to +125°C ambient temperature.

The MAX22216/MAX22217 half-bridges support two different use cases. In the first case, configuration settings can be entered through a serial peripheral interface (SPI) and can be changed at any time. Alternatively, settings can be stored in one-time programmable (OTP) registers, which are loaded at power-up. This enables stand-alone operations. Registers are user-programmable. The OTP writing procedure must be executed in a factory under well-controlled temperature and voltage conditions.

High-side/low-side single-ended drive operations and bridge-tied load (BTL) configurations are supported. Channel parallelization is also supported. Voltage control, current control, and mixed schemes are supported.

In voltage drive regulation mode (VDR mode), the half-bridge output voltage is controlled. Supply variations are internally compensated.

In current drive regulation mode (CDR mode), the half-bridge output current is controlled. The current is internally sensed and fed back to the controller for accurate closed-loop regulation. Proportional and integral gains can be configured to optimize steady-state errors and dynamic performance.

The MAX22216/MAX22217 integrate functions aimed to optimize solenoid and DC motor drive control. These include a two-level sequencer for power saving, drive signal ramp control (RAMP) for noise reduction, a dither function (DITH) to counteract the effects of static friction and hysteresis, a fast demagnetization feature (DC_H2L) to shorten o
