Product details
Overview
MAX77756DEWL+T 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-default 1.8V/3.3V/5.0V output (I²C-adjustable from 1.5V to 7.5V), and features 1.5μA quiescent current in SUP-only mode. It enables seamless source selection between two independent DC inputs (e.g., main + backup battery) in USB PD accessories and always-on smart hubs.
For engineers reviewing the MAX77756DEWL+T datasheet, MAX77756DEWL+T pinout, MAX77756DEWL+T application, or MAX77756DEWL+T equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-input MUX behavior, I²C-programmable VOUT with 50mV steps, 15-bump WLP package constraints, and 250mΩ IN1/IN2 on-resistance for low-loss ORing.
Technical Context
The MAX77756DEWL+T integrates a peak-current-mode PWM buck regulator with synchronous rectification and an autonomous dual-input power MUX using P-channel MOSFETs. The MUX selects the higher of IN1 or IN2 (3V–24V) to supply the SUP rail, with 400mV switchover hysteresis and automatic cross-conduction prevention.
Control includes hardware/software enable (EN pin or I²C EN_BIT), pin-programmable inductor peak current (700–1000mA), spread-spectrum switching (±6% ΔfSW), and soft-start (4ms or 8ms). Output regulation uses internal feedback (factory-set) or external resistor divider (1V to 99% VSUP), with POK monitoring at 90–94% VOUT-REG.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3.0V to 24V - supports wide-range sources including USB PD, solar, and industrial rails without external pre-regulation. |
| Output Current | 500mA max continuous - sufficient for powering microcontrollers, sensors, and low-power SoCs in portable systems. |
| Output Voltage Options | Factory-set 1.8V/3.3V/5.0V or I²C-programmable 1.5V–7.5V in 50mV steps - enables flexible system-level voltage scaling without BOM changes. |
| Quiescent Current | 1.5μA (SUP only) / 19μA (IN1/IN2 powered) - sustains ultra-low-power always-on operation in battery-backed applications. |
| Power MUX On-Resistance | 250mΩ (typ) per channel - reduces conduction loss vs. Schottky diodes, enabling >90% efficiency at light loads with dual-source redundancy. |
| Package | 15-bump wafer-level package (WLP), 2.33mm × 1.42mm × 0.7mm - fits space-constrained designs such as wearables and compact IoT nodes. |
| Switching Frequency | 1MHz (±6% with spread spectrum) - allows use of small 10μH inductors and minimizes EMI through frequency dithering. |
Pinout & Package
MAX77756DEWL+T uses a 15-bump wafer-level package (WLP) with 0.4mm pitch, 3×5 bump array, and top-side bump layout (bump side down). Thermal resistance θJA = 61.65°C/W on four-layer board.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN1 / IN2 | Dual-input power MUX channels | Independent 3V–24V input sources; MUX auto-selects higher voltage to SUP; connect to PGND to disable channel. |
| SUP | Power MUX output & buck input | Supplies buck converter; must be bypassed with 1μF ceramic cap; do not prebias if powered from IN1/IN2. |
| LX | Switching node | Connects to 10μH inductor; high-impedance when disabled; internal clamp diodes to PGND/SUP require current limiting. |
| OUT/FB | Output sense / feedback input | Internal feedback: direct VOUT sensing; external feedback: resistor divider input (1V–99% VSUP); avoid EMI-sensitive routing. |
| EN | Enable control | Logic-compatible with SUP domain; VEN_HI = 1.4V min; interacts with I²C EN_BIT for hybrid enable control. |
| POK | Open-drain Power OK | Asserts high when VOUT ≥ 90% VOUT-REG; requires external pullup; debounced with 12μs timer. |
| ILIM | Peak inductor current select | PGND = 700mA, BIAS = 1000mA; I²C writes accepted only when ILIM is logic-low. |
| SCL / SDA | I²C interface | Supports 1MHz clock; VIO-referenced logic (1.7V–5.5V); requires pullups to VIO; connect to PGND if unused. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-input ideal-diode MUX | Replaces discrete Schottky ORing arrays with 250mΩ P-FETs, eliminating forward-voltage drop and reducing thermal stress. |
| I²C programmable output | Adjusts VOUT from 1.5V to 7.5V in precise 50mV increments-enables dynamic voltage scaling and firmware-based rail tuning. |
| Ultra-low IQ standby mode | 1.5μA quiescent current with SUP active only-extends battery life in always-on backup rails and smart home hubs. |
| Hardware/software enable flexibility | EN pin (SUP-domain compatible) and I²C EN_BIT allow coordinated power sequencing in multi-rail systems. |
| Integrated safety protections | Hiccup-mode short-circuit response, thermal shutdown at +165°C, and soft-start ramp prevent inrush damage during startup. |
Applications
| USB Type-C Power Delivery Accessories | Notebook and Tablet Computers |

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; 500mA buck only; same 15-bump WLP package and I²C interface. | Requires external ideal-diode ORing circuit for dual-source support; increases BOM count and PCB area. | Select when dual-input MUX is unnecessary and cost/space optimization favors discrete ORing. |
| TPS63020DSJR | Buck-boost topology; 2.5V–5.5V input; no MUX; 3A output; 10-pin SON package. | Supports single-input wide-VIN but cannot autonomously select between two independent sources. | Select for battery-powered systems needing VIN < 3V support or higher current, where MUX functionality is handled externally. |
Compared with MAX77756DEWL+T, MAX77596EWA+T removes MUX complexity but adds design overhead for source selection, while TPS63020DSJR trades MUX capability for buck-boost flexibility and higher current-neither offers pin-compatible dual-input autonomy.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for MAX77756DEWL+T?
The MAX77756DEWL+T supports absolute maximum input voltages of +26V on IN1 and IN2 relative to PGND, and +31V on BST relative to PGND. Its operational input range is 3.0V to 24V for reliable buck conversion. Exceeding 24V during normal operation risks violating the specified electrical characteristics and may trigger undervoltage lockout or thermal protection.
Can MAX77756DEWL+T operate with only one input source?
Yes, MAX77756DEWL+T can operate with a single input source by connecting the unused INx pin to PGND and powering SUP directly. This bypasses the MUX logic entirely, allowing the buck converter to function as a standard 3V–24V input regulator. The device retains all other features-including I²C control, POK, and low-IQ modes-in this configuration.
How does the MAX77756DEWL+T handle switchover between IN1 and IN2?
The MAX77756DEWL+T uses automatic switchover with 400mV hysteresis: the lower-voltage input channel turns off only after the higher-voltage channel rises by at least 400mV above it. This prevents chattering during near-equal voltage conditions. Switchover occurs dynamically while enabled and requires no software intervention-ensuring seamless transitions during source failures or plug/unplug events.
What is the purpose of the ILIM pin on MAX77756DEWL+T?
The ILIM pin on MAX77756DEWL+T sets the peak inductor current limit: grounding selects 700mA, connecting to BIAS selects 1000mA. This hardware configuration determines current-sense threshold before cycle-by-cycle shutdown. I²C writes to the ILIM register are only accepted when ILIM is logic-low-providing fail-safe current limiting even during firmware updates.
Does MAX77756DEWL+T support external feedback for custom output voltages?
Yes, MAX77756DEWL+T supports external feedback via the OUT/FB pin using a resistor divider. This configuration allows output voltages from 1V up to 99% of VSUP, extending beyond the 1.5V–7.5V I²C range. The datasheet specifies a 5.6pF feed-forward capacitor between output and FB to stabilize compensation-critical for maintaining phase margin with non-standard VOUT settings.
