Product Details

The MAX77958 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled and tested printed circuit board (PCB) that demonstrates the MAX77958 Standalone USB Type-C and Power Delivery Controller.

The EV kit enables easy evaluation of the following features:

USB Type-C Detection/PD Communication (See Table 1 for Acronyms)
- Power Role (Sink and Source), Data Role (UFP and DFP) detection
- PD Adapter Detection and PD Communication
- Integrated V_CONN Switch with OCP
- Power/Data Role Swap
- PPS (with PD Adapter Supporting PPS)
- Audio and Debug Accessory Sink/Source Mode
- Vendor Defined Message
BC1.2 Legacy Charger Detection: SDP, CDP, DCP and DCD Timeout
I²C Master to Control Companion IC.
9 Configurable GPIOs

The EV kit contains a MAX77962 charger to demonstrate the I²C master feature of the MAX77958. The MAX77962 is a buck-boost charger for 2S Li+ battery application and is capable of 3.5V to 23V input voltage, with a maximum programmable fast charging current of 3.2A.

The MAX16904 a buck converter is installed on the EV kit to provide 5V to V_CONN pin. The MAX77958 uses GPIO2 to enable the buck converter when the MAX77958 is in SOURCE Power Role.

A Micro-B USB cable is included in the package to serve as the interface from a USB port on a Windows^® PC to the slave I²C port on the MAX77958. A Windows based software provides a user-friendly interface to exercise the features of the MAX77958.
