MAX77818
Dual Input, Power Path,
3A Switch Mode Charger with Fuel Gauge
General Description
Benefits and Features
● Smart Power Path, Dual Input Switching Charger
• Up to 13.4V Operating/16V Withstand/4A (CHGIN)
• Up to 6V Operating/1.26A (WCIN)
TheMAX77818integratesahigh-performance3Aswitching
charger and proprietary ModelGauge™ m5 fuel gauge
in a space saving WLP package, ideal for USB powered
portable devices. The smart power path charger sup-
ports two inputs with reverse blocking and USB On-the-
Go (OTG), integrates all power switches, operates at
high-switching frequency with high efficiency, enabling
low heat designs with small external components. The
ModelGauge m5 algorithm combines the excellent short-
term accuracy and linearity of a coulomb counter with
the long-term stability of a voltage-based fuel gauge,
along with temperature compensation to provide industry-
leading fuel-gauge accuracy. The device also integrates
two high voltage input LDOs and is highly programmable
