2.5V to 16V Input, 7A Switching Current
High-Efficiency Buck-Boost Converter
MAX77831
General Description
Benefits and Features
The MAX77831 is a high-efficiency, high-performance
buck-boost converter targeted for systems requiring wide
input voltage range (2.5V to 16V). It features a 7A switch-
ing current and can supply up to 6A output current in buck
mode and up to 4A in boost mode (boost ratio ≤ 1.3).
● Wide Input Voltage Range: 2.5V to 16V
● Default Output Voltage
• 5V with Internal Feedback Resistors
• 3V to 15V with External Feedback Resistors
● Default 1.8MHz Switching Frequency

The IC is available in 5V default output voltage when using
internal feedback resistors. The IC can also be config-
ured to any default output voltages between 3V and 15V
when using external feedback resistors. The output volt-
age is adjustable dynamically through the I C serial inter-
face (see the Output Voltage Configuration section). The

switching-current limit thresholds, and selection between
external/internal feedback resistors. The different switch-
ing-current limit thresholds allow the use of lower profile
and smaller external components that are optimized for a
particular application. The use of external feedback resis-
tors allows for a wider output voltage range and customiz-
able output voltages at startup.
