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).
