MAX77816
High-Efficiency Buck-Boost Regulator
with 5A Switches
General Description
Benefits and Features
● Buck and Boost Operation Including Seamless
The MAX77816 is
a
high-current, high-efficiency
buck-boost regulator targeting single-cell Li-ion battery-
powered applications. It supports a wide output voltage
range from 2.60V to 5.14V. The IC allows 5A (typ) maxi-
mum switch current. In buck mode, the output current can
go as high as 4A, and in boost mode, the maximum out-
put current can be 3A. A unique control algorithm allows
high efficiency, outstanding line/load transient response,
and seamless transition between buck and boost modes.

● Safety Features Enhance Device and System
Reliability
The multifunction GPIO pin is register settable to 5
different options, such as FPWM mode enable and induc-
tor peak current level selection. These options provide
design flexibility that allows the IC to cover a wide range
of applications and use cases.
