MAX77932C
8A Dual-Phase Switched-Capacitor Converter
General Description
Benefits and Features
The MAX77932C is a standalone, dual-phase switched-
capacitor converter with integrated power switches that
delivers 8A output current and divides the input voltage
by two. The IC is suitable for applications that utilize 2S
Li+ batteries while powering circuitry that operates at 1S-
equivalent voltage. It is also suitable for applications mi-
grating from 1S to 2S battery configurations. The IC sim-
plifies this migration by converting the 2S battery voltage
to 1S-equivalent output and allows designers to preserve
the existing downstream 1S power architecture.

The inductorless switched-capacitor converter topology of
the IC shrinks the overall footprint and reduces the maxi-
mum height of the circuit. Its high switching frequency, up
to 1.5MHz, reduces the size and number of capacitors re-
quired, further minimizing the solution footprint. The IC en-
sures safe operation with integrated overvoltage, under-
voltage, overcurrent, and thermal protection, and also min-
imizes EMI with built-in frequency dithering. In addition to
the small solution size, lower EMI, and protection features,
the ICs class-leading peak efficiency of 98.5% simplifies
thermal design and makes it ideal for consumer, medical,
and industrial applications.
