MAX77859 Evaluation Kit
General Description
The MAX77859 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully
assembled and tested printed circuit board (PCB)
that demonstrates the MAX77859, a high-efficiency,
high-performance buck-boost regulator with a peak
switching current of 7.8A. It supports USB Type-C PPS
requirements
with
programmable
(20mV/step) and programmable output current limit
(50mA/step). The IC is capable of 2.5V to 22V input and
dynamically
adjustable
interface) between 3.2V to 16V (internal feedback) or
between 3V to 20V (external feedback). The EV kit is
factory-configured as internal feedback with a default
startup output voltage of 5V. Other startup voltages can be
achieved with external feedback resistors.
I/O pins are available to support the I
enable function, forced-PWM mode, and interrupt/power-
2
OK indicator. The I
C target address, switching current
limit, and feedback configuration can be adjusted by
changing the R
resistor (R9). MAXUSB_INTERFACE#
SEL
allows the use of Windows
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 MAX77859
WLP IC (MAX77859AEWO+T is the default one installed).

  • Page 6 Warning: Make sure the external I C serial bus’s logic voltage level is compatible with the MAX77859’s I/O logic voltage level (2.0V max). Refer to the MAX77859 IC data sheet for more information regarding the I/O logic voltage level. Configuration Resistor The MAX77859 includes an SEL pin to set the I C target address, switching current limit, and feedback configuration.
  • Page 7 *Default EV kit configuration High-Temperature Testing The MAX77859 is rated for operation under junction temperatures up to +125°C. Note that not all components on the EV kit are rated for temperatures this high. Some ceramic capacitors experience extra leakage when put under temperatures higher than they are rated for and supply current readings for the IC might be larger than expected.

    MAX77859 Evaluation Kit Evaluates: MAX77859 (WLP) ambient or junction temperatures. Consider replacing these components if IC operation at +125°C ambient or junction temperature is an important use case. List of capacitors not rated for +125°C: C1 (IN bulk capacitor), C10, C11 (OUT capacitors) Critical Node Measurement (OUT and LX) The EV kit comes with probe points for measuring critical nodes OUT1, LX1, and LX2.

    MAXUSB_INTERFACE# drives I C communication with the EV kit. Every control in the GUI corresponds directly to a register within the MAX77859. Refer to the Register Map section of the MAX77859 IC data sheet for a complete description of the registers. See Figure 7 for a screenshot of the GUI upon first opening.
