General Description

The MAX77646/MAX77647 provides power supply solutions

for low-power applications where size and efficiency

are critical. The IC features a Single Inductor Multiple Output

(SIMO) buck-boost regulator that provides three independently

programmable power rails from a single inductor

to minimize total solution size. A 150mA LDO provides

ripple rejection for audio and other noise-sensitive applications.

The LDO can also be configured as a load switch

to manage power consumption by disconnecting external

blocks when not required.

The MAX77646/MAX77647 operates with battery voltages

from 1.8V with coin-cell, dual silver oxide, dual alkaline,

and LiSOCL2 primary batteries.

The MAX77646 (RSEL variant) SIMO and LDO output voltages

are individually programmable through resistors. A

peak current limit input is used to set both the inductor's

peak current limits of the device with a single resistor. Individual

enable pins combined with the flexible resistor programmability

allows the device to be tailored for many applications.

The MAX77647 (I2C variant) SIMO and LDO output voltages

are individually programmable through I2C and in

addition, includes two GPIOs with alternate modes for

scalability. 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.
