MAX77963
23VIN 3.2AOUT Buck-Boost
Charger for 2S/3S Li-Ion Batteries
and USB Power Delivery
Benefits and Features
General Description
The MAX77963 is a high-performance wide-input 3.2A
buck-boost charger with a Smart Power Selector and
operates as a reverse buck without an additional
inductor, allowing the IC to power USB On-the-Go
(OTG) accessories. The device integrates low-loss
power switches and provides a small solution size, high
efficiency, low heat, and fast battery charging. The
reverse buck has a true-load disconnect and is protected
by an adjustable output current limit. The device is highly

The battery charger includes a Smart Power Selector to
accommodate a wide range of battery sizes and system
loads. The Smart Power Selector allows the system to
start up gracefully when an input source is available
even when the battery is deeply discharged (dead
battery) or missing. For battery safety/authentication
reasons, the IC can be configured to keep charging
disabled and allow the DC-DC to switch and regulate the
SYS voltage. The system processor can later enable
