Evaluates: MAX77857 (FC2QFN)
General Description
The MAX77857Q evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully
assembled and tested printed circuit board (PCB) that
demonstrates the MAX77857 in a FC2QFN package, 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
interface.
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 FC2QFN IC
(MAX77857BEFE+T is the default installed on the EV kit).

  • Page 7 Evaluates: MAX77857 (FC2QFN) MAX77857Q Evaluation Kit Output Voltage Configuration By default, the EV kit is configured to use internal feedback resistors, with a 5V default startup output voltage and an output voltage range from 4.5V to 15V. To achieve a different default startup output voltage other than 5V, or to achieve a lower minimum output voltage range down to 3V, external feedback resistors are required.

Since the IC operates at a high switching frequency, this placement is critical for minimizing parasitic inductance within the input and output current loops, which can cause high voltage spikes and can damage the internal switching MOSFETs.
