MAX14874
4.5V to 36V Dual Relay/Valve/Motor Driver
General Description
Benefits and Features
The MAX14874 dual push-pull driver provides a small
and simple solution for driving and controlling relays and
valves with voltages between 4.5V and 36V.
●● Drive More Power and Reduce Footprint
• Up to 2.5A Peak Motor Current
• Flexible 4.5V–36V Supply Enables Longer Runtime
The MAX14874 is also designed to drive brushed DC
motors. Separate COM pins allow monitoring of individual
driver load currents. Peak currents up to 2.5A ensure for
PWM controlled large motor torque. Low driver on-resistance
reduces power dissipation.
• Small 3mm x 3mm TDFN-EP Package
●● Low Power Dissipation Runs Cooler and Longer
• 480mΩ (typ) Bridge On-Resistance
●● Simplified Designs Reduces Time to Market
• Individual Current Sensing to Sense Voltages up
to 1V
• Charge-Pump-Less Architecture
• Independent Driver Control for Each Driver
●● Integrated Protection Provides Robust Driving Solutions
• Thermal Shutdown Undervoltage Lockout
• Diagnostic FAULT Output
• -40°C to +85°C Temperature Range
The MAX14874 features a charge-pump-less design for
reduced external components and low supply current.
The MAX14874 features shoot-through protection and
internal free-wheeling diodes that absorb inductive
currents. Driver outputs are short-circuit protected against
shorts to the supply, and between M1 and M2. An
active-low FAULT output signals thermal overload and
overcurrents during fault conditions.
The MAX14874 is available in a 12-pin TDFN-EP (3mm
x 3mm) package and operates over the -40°C to +85°C
temperature range.
Applications
●● Valve and Relay Control
●● Motor Control
●● Coffee Machines

Detailed Description
The MAX14874 relay/valve driver, which can also be used
as a DC brushed motor driver, provides a low-power and
flexible solution for driving and controlling loads with voltages between 4.5V and 36V. Peak currents of up to 2.8A
ensure for large force/torque that is controllable by an
external PWM signal.
Charge-pump-less design ensures for minimal external
components and low supply current.
Shoot-through protection with a 140ns (typ) dead time
ensures low operating current. Internal free-wheeling
diodes absorb inductive motor currents. The FAULT output
signals thermal overload and overcurrents.
Overcurrent Protection
The MAX14874 is protected against shorts on M1/M2 to
VDD and between M1 and M2 via overcurrent limiting.
When a current above 6A (typ) flows through M1 or M2
for longer than 1µs, an overcurrent condition is detected
and the H-bridge drivers are automatically disabled and
the FAULT output asserts.
If the overcurrent condition continues for longer than the
overcurrent autoretry timeout (2ms, typ) the MAX14874
www.maximintegrated.com
enters autoretry mode. In autoretry mode, the M1 and M2
outputs are re-enabled for 1µs (typ) and FAULT goes high
impedance. The drivers are disabled again and FAULT is
re-asserted if the overcurrent condition persists.
Short Circuit Protection
The M1 and M2 outputs are safe against all short circuits,
if the RSENSE_ resistors on COM1 and/or COM2 have a
value of less than 50mΩ.
When using a larger sense resistor, protect the part
against shorts to GND by connecting a silicon diode (for
example MURA205T3) between the M_ driver output
and ground. These protection diodes are not needed
if the maximum operating supply voltage (VDD) is less
than 24V, and the sense resistor, RSENSE_, on COM_ is
100mΩ or less.
Driver Control
The IN_ input is used for motor speed/torque control.
Increasing or decreasing the duty cycle at IN_ sets the
effective (average) voltage across the motor terminals
and allows current control.
When IN_ is logic-high, the motor is driven high (see
Function Table). When IN_ is logic low, M_ pin is driven low.

Slope Control
Power Considerations
Thermal Shutdown
PTOTAL = PDRIVER + PSW + PD
The power dissipated inside of the driver is calculated as:
The MAX14874 drivers turn-on and turn-off with active
slope control during the M1/M2 transition times. This
integrated slew rate limiting reduces EMC, like conducted
and radiated EMI, associated with high di/dt and dv/dt
rates.
The MAX14874 driver can generate more internal heat/
power than the package for the device can safely dissipate. Total power dissipation for the device is calculated
using the following equation:
The MAX14874 includes integrated protection against
thermal overload. When the junction temperature exceeds
160°C (typ), the M1 and M2 outputs are tri-stated and
FAULT asserted.
M1 and M2 are automatically re-enabled when the
junction temperature falls to 150°C (typ).
PDRIVER = IM_LOAD2 x RON
where IM_LOAD is the load current and RON is the onresistance of the high and low-side FETs.
PSW is the power generated by the driver during the rise/
fall times in switching, and includes both arms of the bridge.
Calculate PSW using the following equation:
Current Sensing with RSENSE
PSW = IM_LOAD x 2 x VDS
= IM_LOAD x 2 x (1/2 x VDD x fSW x tR)
where IM_LOAD is the load current, tR is the 200ns
(typ) rise or fall time of the driver output, and fSW is the
switching frequency.
The internal diodes dissipate power during switching, as
well. Calculate the power dissipated in the diodes as:
Connect a sense resistor (RSENSE_) between COM_ and
GND to monitor the load current through that driver during
operation. Select RSENSE such that the voltage at COM_
does not exceed 1V.
Applications Information
Layout Considerations
Connect VDD pins together with low-resistance traces.
Place a bypass capacitor next to each VDD pin, as close
to the device as possible.
