MAX77857 Evaluation Kit
General Description
The MAX77857 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled
and tested printed circuit board (PCB) that demonstrates
the MAX77857, a high-efficiency, high-performance buck-
boost regulator with a switching current of 7A. The IC is
capable of 2.5V to 16V input and dynamically adjustable
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-configured as
internal feedback with default startup output voltage at 5V.
Other startup voltages can be achieved with external
feedback resistors. The output voltage can be adjusted
dynamically through the I
I/O pins are available to support the I
Enable function, and interrupt/Power-OK indicator. The
2
I
C slave address, switching current limit, and feedback
configuration can be adjusted by changing the R
resistor value (R9). MAXUSB_INTERFACE# allows the
®
use of Windows
-based software with a friendly graphical
user interface (GUI) as well as a detailed register-based
interface to exercise all features of the IC. The EV kit is
compatible with any version of the MAX77857 WLP IC
(MAX77857BEWB+T is the default installed on the EV kit).
