Product details
Overview
MAX77756BEWL+G7 from Maxim Integrated is a 24V-input, 500mA synchronous step-down DC-DC converter with integrated dual-input ideal-diode power multiplexer (MUX). It operates from 3.0V to 24V input, delivers factory-set 1.8V/3.3V/5.0V or I²C-adjustable 1.5V–7.5V output, and features 1.5μA quiescent current (SUP-only) for always-on rails in battery-backed systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX77756BEWL+G7 datasheet, MAX77756BEWL+G7 pinout, MAX77756BEWL+G7 application, or MAX77756BEWL+G7 equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-source ORing capability, ultra-low IQ operation, I²C programmability, and wafer-level package integration for space-constrained USB PD accessories and smart hubs.
Technical Context
The device integrates a peak-current-mode PWM buck regulator with load-line architecture and a dual-channel P-FET power MUX that automatically selects the higher of two input sources (IN1/IN2) to supply the SUP rail. Control logic ensures only one MUX channel conducts at a time, with 400mV switchover hysteresis to prevent chattering.
It supports hardware enable (EN), I²C interface (SCL/SDA at up to 1MHz), programmable peak inductor current (700–1000mA via ILIM pin or register), and spread-spectrum switching to reduce EMI. The BIAS LDO powers internal circuitry and enables clean sequencing in multi-rail systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3.0V to 24V - supports USB PD provider, main/backup batteries, and solar inputs without external pre-regulation. |
| Output Current | 500mA max - sufficient for powering microcontrollers, sensors, and low-power peripherals in portable electronics. |
| Quiescent Current | 1.5μA (SUP-only), 19μA (IN1/IN2 powered) - enables multi-week battery life in always-on backup rails. |
| Output Voltage Options | Factory-default 1.8V/3.3V/5.0V or I²C-programmable 1.5V–7.5V in 50mV steps - eliminates external resistor networks for flexible system-level voltage scaling. |
| Switching Frequency | 1.0MHz typical - allows use of compact 10μH inductors and reduces solution footprint vs. lower-frequency converters. |
| Package | 15-bump WLP, 2.33mm × 1.42mm × 0.7mm - ultra-small footprint for thin-profile wearables and dongles. |
| Power MUX RON | 250mΩ per channel - cuts conduction loss by >50% vs. Schottky diode ORing, improving thermal performance and efficiency. |
Pinout & Package
MAX77756BEWL+G7 uses a 15-bump wafer-level package (WLP) with 0.4mm pitch in a 3×5 array (outline 21-100111, land pattern 90-100052). The package is lead-free and RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN1 / IN2 | Dual-input power MUX channels | Independent 24V-rated inputs; automatic ORing selects higher voltage source to SUP; connect either to PGND to disable that channel. |
| SUP | Power MUX output & buck input | Supplies buck converter; must be bypassed with 1μF ceramic capacitor; not prebiased when using IN1/IN2. |
| LX | Switching node | Connects to 10μH inductor; high-impedance when disabled; internal clamp diodes require careful layout to avoid exceeding power dissipation limits. |
| OUT/FB | Output sense / feedback input | Internal feedback: direct VOUT sensing; external feedback: resistor divider input with 5.6pF feed-forward cap for stability. |
| EN | Hardware enable | Logic-compatible with SUP domain; drives low to disable entire IC including MUX and buck; interacts with I²C EN_BIT. |
| ILIM | Peak inductor current select | Pin-strapped to PGND (700mA), BIAS (1000mA), or controlled via I²C; sets overcurrent protection threshold. |
| SCL / SDA | I²C interface | Supports 1MHz clock; requires pullups to VIO; VIO range 1.7V–5.5V; enables dynamic VOUT reconfiguration and telemetry readback. |
| POK | Open-drain Power OK | Asserts high when VOUT is within ±2% of regulation; 12μs debounce; sinks up to 20mA; requires external pullup. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-input ideal-diode MUX | Replaces discrete Schottky ORing with 250mΩ P-FETs, reducing forward drop, heat, and BOM count while enabling seamless source switchover. |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 1.5μA (SUP-only) extends battery life in maintenance-mode applications such as smart home hubs and IoT backup rails. |
| I²C programmable output | Enables runtime voltage adjustment (1.5V–7.5V, 50mV steps) and register-based configuration without hardware changes or rework. |
| Load-line regulation architecture | Provides critically damped transient response and reduces required output capacitance by ~30% compared to classical integrator-based controllers. |
| Integrated BIAS LDO | 5V regulated output powers internal logic and can supply external low-current circuits, simplifying multi-rail power tree design. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-input buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX77596EWA+T | No integrated power MUX; 3.0V–24V input, 500mA buck only; same WLP package and I²C interface. | Suitable only for single-input applications; lacks automatic source selection and ORing logic. | Select when MUX functionality is unnecessary and cost reduction is prioritized over dual-source flexibility. |
| TPS63020DSJR | Buck-boost topology (2.5V–5.5V input); no MUX; 3A output; different control scheme and pinout. | Used where input may fall below output (e.g., single-cell Li-ion); incompatible with 24V inputs or dual-source ORing. | Choose only for wide-input-range buck-boost needs; not a functional substitute for MAX77756BEWL+G7's MUX + buck architecture. |
Compared with MAX77756BEWL+G7, MAX77596EWA+T removes MUX complexity but forfeits dual-source resilience, while TPS63020DSJR offers higher current and buck-boost capability at the cost of 24V compatibility and ORing functionality-making MAX77756BEWL+G7 uniquely suited for USB PD accessory and backup-rail designs requiring integrated source arbitration.

FAQ
What input voltage ranges does the MAX77756BEWL+G7 support?
The MAX77756BEWL+G7 supports an input voltage range of 3.0V to 24V on its SUP, IN1, and IN2 pins. This enables direct compatibility with USB PD providers (5V–20V), 12V wall adapters, 24V industrial supplies, and backup batteries. Absolute maximum ratings allow transient exposure up to +26V on IN1/IN2/SUP, but continuous operation must remain within the 3V–24V specification band to ensure reliability and regulation accuracy.
Can the MAX77756BEWL+G7 operate with only one input source?
Yes, the MAX77756BEWL+G7 can operate with a single input source. To bypass the dual-input power MUX, connect both IN1 and IN2 to PGND and apply the input directly to the SUP pin. In this configuration, the buck converter functions as a standard 3V–24V input, 500mA step-down regulator with full I²C programmability and low-IQ operation-retaining all core features except automatic source selection.
How is output voltage configured on the MAX77756BEWL+G7?
The MAX77756BEWL+G7 supports three output configuration methods: (1) factory-programmed default (1.8V, 3.3V, or 5.0V depending on variant), (2) external resistor divider on OUT/FB for 1V–99% VSUP adjustment, or (3) I²C register writes to set VOUT from 1.5V to 7.5V in 50mV increments. All methods coexist-the I²C interface remains active even with external feedback, enabling dynamic reconfiguration during system operation.
What is the purpose of the BIAS pin on the MAX77756BEWL+G7?
The BIAS pin on the MAX77756BEWL+G7 provides a regulated 5V output from an internal LDO, used to power internal circuitry and optionally supply low-current external components (e.g., level shifters or supervisors). It must be bypassed with a 1μF ceramic capacitor to AGND. Loading BIAS externally beyond 1mA risks regulation loss and should be avoided unless explicitly validated in the target application.
Does the MAX77756BEWL+G7 include thermal protection?
Yes, the MAX77756BEWL+G7 includes thermal shutdown protection that activates at +165°C junction temperature, with +15°C hysteresis. When triggered, the device disables both the buck converter and power MUX until the junction cools below +150°C. This protection is fully integrated and requires no external components. Layout best practices-including thermal vias under the PGND pad and minimal copper isolation-ensure reliable operation up to the rated 1298mW power dissipation limit at +70°C ambient.
