MAX77816
High-Efficiency Buck-Boost Regulator with 5A Switches
General Description
The MAX77816 is a high-current, high-efficiency buck-boost regulator targeting single-cell Li-ion batterypowered applications. It supports a wide output voltage range from 2.60V to 5.14V. The IC allows 5A (typ) maximum switch current. In buck mode, the output current can go as high as 4A, and in boost mode, the maximum output current can be 3A. A unique control algorithm allows high efficiency, outstanding line/load transient response, and seamless transition between buck and boost modes.
The IC features an I2C-compatible serial interface. The I2C interface allows the output voltage to be dynamically adjusted, thus enabling finer control of system power consumption.
