Maximum PWM frequency of MAX22208

Category: Datasheet/Specs
Product Number: MAX22208

Hello,

we are planning to use MAX22208 for one of our application, which is best suited for our requirements, while i was looking datasheet for maximum PWM switching frequency that can be applied im unable to find it. Can you please provide what is the maximum PWM switching frequency of MAX22208 supported.

  • Hi,

    the MAX22208 is not specified with a certain limit. Its limiting factors are the OCP blanking time of 2.2...3.5µs and the slew rate of 300V/ns. The slew rate is limited in order to keep electromagnetic emission low.

    This indicates that PWM should be <100kHz, more realistic 20-50kHz, depending on current and supply range:

    Each slope leads to a certain power dissipation, proportional to coil current * 1/2 supply voltage / slew rate * frequency. 

    Wit this, a 24V application could use a higher frequency (e.g. 50kHz), while a 48V application would lead to same power dissipation at 25kHz.
