MAX77839
5.5V Input, 4.4A/3.6A Switching Current 6μA I
Q
Buck-Boost Converter
General Description
Benefits and Features
The MAX77839 is a highly-efficient buck-boost regulator
with an industry leading quiescent current of 6μA targeted
for one-cell Li-ion and down to any battery chemistry with
1.8V discharge voltage. It supports input voltages of 1.8V
to 5.5V and an output voltage range of 2.3V to 5.3V. The
IC provides two different switching current limits to opti-
mize external component sizing based on given load cur-
rent requirements ("A" and "B" = 4.4A (typ), "C" and "D" =
3.6A (typ)), and two different GPIO pin configurations ("A"
and "C" = FPWM pin,"B" and "D" = POK pin). These op-
tions provide design flexibility that allow the IC to cover a
wide range of applications and use cases while minimizing
board space.

IN
OUT
• Optional GPIO Pin (FPWM Input, POK Output)
● Low Supply Current that Extends Battery Life
• Skip Mode that Reduces Supply Current at Light
Loads
• 6μA Ultra-Low I
Q
● 2.2MHz (typ) Switching Frequency
● Integrated Protections that Provide System
Robustness
The IC features a single-resistor adjustable output voltage
from 2.3V to 5.3V. A configurable GPIO pin allows to se-
lect either a FPWM mode control input or a POK open
drain output, depending on the system requirements.
Maxim's unique buck-boost controller technology provides
high efficiency, excellent load and line transient response,
and a seamless transition between buck and boost modes
of operation.
