MAX77658

The MAX77658 provides highly-integrated battery charging and power supply solutions for low-power applications where size and efficiency are critical. The IC features a SIMO buck-boost regulator that provides three highly-efficient and independently programmable power rails from a single inductor to minimize total solution size. Two 150mA LDOs provide ripple rejection for audio and other noise-sensitive applications. The LDOs can also be configured as load switches to manage power consumption by disconnecting external blocks when not required. A highly-configurable linear charger supports a wide range of Li+ battery capacities and includes battery temperature monitoring for additional safety (JEITA). The fuel-gauge implements the Maxim ModelGauge™ m5 EZ algorithm with ultra-low power. The IC provides the best performance for batteries with 10mAhr to 1Ahr capacity.

This device includes three GPIOs and an analog multiplexer that selects between several internal voltages and current signals to an external node for monitoring with an external ADC. A bidirectional I²C serial interface allows for configuring and checking the status of the devices. An internal on/off controller provides a controlled startup sequence for the regulators and provides supervisory functionality while they are on. Numerous factory programmable options allow the device to be tailored for many applications, enabling faster time to market.
