MAX77789 Series

The MAX77789 is a standalone, 3.15A charger with integrated USB Type-C®CC detection and reverse-boost capability. The IC operates with an input voltage of 4.6V to 13.4V and has a maximum input current limit of 3A. The IC also implements the adaptive input current limit (AICL) function that regulates the input voltage by reducing input current, to prevent the voltage of a weak adapter from collapsing or folding back.The USB Type-C Configuration Channel (CC) detection pins on the IC is operating in DRP (Dual Role Port) as a default and is capable of automatic USB Type-C power source detection and sink devices. To support a variety of legacy USB as well as proprietary adapters, the device also integrates BC1.2 detection using the D+ and D- pins. The IC runs the CC pin and BC1.2 detection automatically as soon as the USB plug is inserted without any software control.The IC offers reverse-boost capability up to 5.1V, 1.5A, which can be enabled with automatic way or register set by system MCU. The STAT1 pin indicates charging status, while the INOKB pin indicates valid input voltage. The EXTSM pin can be used to exit ship mode and force system to reset (POR), and STAT2 pin indicates fault detection and charger detection done indication by register bit selection.The IC is equipped with a Smart Power Selector™and a battery true-disconnect FET to control the charging and discharging of the battery or isolate the battery in case of a fault. The IC supports Li-ion and LiFePO4 batteries with various termination voltages from 3.6V to 4.55V. The IC comes in a 2.85mm x 2.85mm, 0.4mm pitch, 6 x 6 wafer-level package (WLP) making it suitable for low-cost PCB assembly.APPLICATIONSMobile Point-of-Sale (mPOS) TerminalsPortable Medical DevicesWireless HeadphonesGPS TrackersCharging Cradles for Wearable DevicesPower BanksMobile Routers
