MAX77829

MAX77829 EVALUATION KIT AVAILABLE Companion PMIC for Smartphone and Tablet General Description The MAX77829 is a high-performance companion PMIC for latest 3G/4G smartphones and tablets. The PMIC includes a single-input 2.0A switched-mode charger with reverse-boost capability and adapter input protection up to 22V (DC) for one-cell Lithium-Ion (Li+) battery, a safeout LDO, and WLED backlight driver supporting up to 25mA/string, 35V output voltage. It also features a dualchannel 1.5A (combined, 750mA/CH) Flash LED driver (with Torch Mode included). The typical 4MHz switched-mode battery charger with two integrated switches, providing the smallest L/C size, lowest heat and fastest programmable battery-charging current, is ideally suited for portable devices such as headsets and ultra-portable media players. The charger features single input, which works for adapter/USB type inputs. All the MAX77829 blocks connecting to the adapter/USB pin are protected from input overvoltage events. The DC pin is rated to 22V absolute maximum. The USB-OTG output provides true-load disconnect and is protected by an adjustable output current limit (default 900mA, other current limit is also available with different factory setting up to 900mA). The battery charger drives an external p-channel MOSFET as power-path switch, and its I2C-programmable settings can accommodate a wide range of battery sizes and system loads. When configured in reverse boost mode, the MAX77829 requires no additional ind...
