Evaluates: MAX77831
General Description
The MAX77831 evaluation kit (EV kit) provides a proven
design to evaluate the MAX77831, a 7A switching current,
high-efficiency, high-performance buck-boost regulator
that only operates in forced-PWM (FPWM) mode. The IC
is capable of 2.5V to 16V input and dynamically adjust-
able output between 4.5V to 15V when using internal
feedback resistors, or between 3V to 15V when using
external feedback resistors. The EV kit is factory-config-
ured as internal feedback with the default startup output
voltage at 5V. Other startup voltage can be achieved
with external feedback resistors. Output voltage can be
adjusted dynamically through the I
The I/O pins are available to support the I
face, Enable function, and Interrupt/Power-OK indicator.

The I
C slave address, switching current limit, and feed-
back configuration can be adjusted by changing the R
resistor value (R9). The MAXUSB_INTERFACE# allows
®
the use of Windows
-based software with a friendly
graphical user interface (GUI) as well as a detailed regis-
ter-based interface to exercise all the features of the IC.
The IC installed on the EV kit is the MAX77831BEWB+T.
