MAX77840
3A Buck Charger with ModelGauge m5 Fuel
Gauge and USB BC1.2 Detection
General Description
Benefits and Features
The MAX77840 is a 3.15A switched-mode charger and
ModelGauge™ m5 fuel gauge with integrated USB BC1.2
detection for Li-ion batteries and a SAFEOUT LDO.
● Single-Input Switch Mode Charger
● Up to 16V Protection
• Up to 13.4V Input Operating Range
• Up to 4.0A Input Current Limit with Adaptive Input
Current Limiting (AICL)
• Up to 3.15A Battery Charging Current Limit
• CC, CV, and Die Temperature Control
• Small Inductor: 0.47µH or 1µH Package
• High Efficiency
The charger integrates all switches and operates at either
4MHz or 2MHz (programmable) switching frequency, al-
lowing selection of the smallest external components or
achieving lowest heat dissipation. The MAX77840 is ideal-
ly suited for devices such as mobile point-of-sale devices,
portable medical electronics, or other handheld devices.
It includes the USB BC1.2 detection function to recognize
common USB adapters and set the input current limit au-
tomatically. The MAX77840 can supply up to 1.5A OTG
current with proprietary MAXOTG protection, that limits
the OTG output current to prevent system voltage from
collapsing under heavy OTG loads.
● Supports USB-OTG Reverse Boost, up to 1.5A
Current Limit (Programmable)
● Integrated Battery True-Disconnect FET

The ModelGauge m5 provides accurate battery fuel gaug-
ing and operates with extremely low battery current (25µA,
typ) during standby or sleep mode to extend battery life.
The interaction between the ModelGauge m5 and the
charger provides end users a superior charging experi-
ence in a single IC.
● Adapter Type Detection
• D+/D- Detection for USB port, USB DCP, and USB
HVDCP
• BC 1.2 Compliant
● ModelGauge m5 Battery Fuel Gauge
• ±1% SOC Accuracy, No Calibration Cycles, Very
Shipping mode is built into the MAX77840 to minimize bat-
tery drain when the device is not in use. The MAX77840
features an I C 3.0 compatible serial interface. It is offered
in a 3.87mm x 3.96mm, 9 x 9 bump array wafer-level pack-
age (WLP) with 0.4mm pitch.
