MAX77860
USB Type-C, 3A Switch-Mode Buck Charger with
Integrated CC Detection, Reverse Boost, and ADC
General Description
Benefits and Features
The MAX77860 is a high-performance single input switch
mode charger that features USB Type-C CC detection ca-
pability in addition to reverse boost capability and a Safe-
out LDO.

Current Limit
This switched-mode battery charger with two integrated
switches, provides small inductor and capacitor sizes, pro-
grammable battery charging current, and is ideally suited
for portable devices such as smartphones, IoT devices,
and other Li-ion battery powered electronics. The charger
features a single input, which works for both USB and high
voltage adapters. It supports USB Type-C CC detection
under BC 1.2 specification, and the power-path switch is
integrated in the chip. All MAX77860 blocks connected to
the adapter/USB pin are protected from input overvoltage
events up to 14V. The USB-OTG output provides true-
load disconnect and is protected by an adjustable output
current limit. It has an input current limit up to 4.0A, and
can charge a single-cell battery up to 3.15A. When config-
ured in reverse-boost mode, the IC requires no additional
inductors to power USB-OTG accessories. The switching
charger is designed with a special CC, CV, and die tem-

The MAX77860 communicates through an I C 3.0 com-
patible serial interface consisting of a bidirectional serial
data line (SDA) and a serial clock line (SCL). The IC is
available in a 3.9mm x 4.0mm, 81-bump (9 x 9 array),
0.4mm pitch, wafer-level package (WLP).
