Product details
Overview
The MAX77840EWG+T from Maxim Integrated is a 3.15A buck-mode Li-ion battery charger with integrated ModelGauge m5 fuel gauge, USB BC1.2 adapter detection, and SAFEOUT LDO-designed for compact portable electronics requiring precise state-of-charge (SOC) monitoring, adaptive input current limiting, and reverse OTG boost up to 1.5A. It operates at programmable 2MHz/4MHz switching frequency and features true battery disconnect FET (RDS(ON) = 12.8mΩ).
For engineers reviewing the MAX77840EWG+T datasheet, MAX77840EWG+T pinout, MAX77840EWG+T application, or MAX77840EWG+T equivalent, key selection criteria include ±1% SOC accuracy without calibration, shipping mode with ONKEY wake-up, I²C 3.0 interface with interrupt output, and 9×9 WLP package (3.87mm × 3.96mm, 0.4mm pitch) for space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The MAX77840EWG+T integrates a synchronous buck charger with CC/CV/temperature regulation, ModelGauge m5 coulomb-counting + OCV-based fuel gauging, and Smart Power Selector logic that prioritizes system power over charging during shared input conditions. Its USB BC1.2 D+/D− detection supports USB SDP, CDP, DCP, and HVDCP recognition with automatic input current limit configuration.
Charging control includes dead-battery prequalification, thermal foldback, and JEITA-compliant temperature-aware charging via external thermistor. The integrated SAFEOUT LDO delivers regulated output from SYS rail, while the proprietary MAXOTG protection enforces current-limited reverse boost (programmable up to 1.5A) without system voltage collapse.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar battery management applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BQ25895RTWR | Higher 5A max charge current; no integrated fuel gauge; separate fuel gauge IC required. | Requires external fuel gauge (e.g., BQ27441) for SOC reporting-increasing BOM count and calibration complexity. | Choose when higher charge rate is critical and fuel gauge functionality can be added separately. |
| ISL9238HRZ-T | Includes SMBus interface and dual-cell support; lacks USB BC1.2 detection and ModelGauge m5 algorithm. | Targeted at 2-cell Li-ion systems (e.g., rugged tablets); not suitable for single-cell USB-powered devices. | Prefer for multi-cell applications where USB adapter detection is handled externally. |
Compared with BQ25895RTWR and ISL9238HRZ-T, the MAX77840EWG+T uniquely combines ±1% fuel gauging, USB BC1.2 detection, and 3.15A charging in one WLP package-reducing component count, layout area, and firmware integration effort for single-cell portable designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported battery charging current for the MAX77840EWG+T?
The MAX77840EWG+T supports a maximum battery charging current of 3.15A. This value is programmable via I²C registers and is enforced by internal current-sense circuitry. It enables rapid charging of single-cell Li-ion batteries up to ~2000mAh capacity within three hours while maintaining thermal safety through die temperature regulation and thermal foldback.
Does the MAX77840EWG+T include USB BC1.2 compliance, and how does it function?
Yes, the MAX77840EWG+T includes full USB BC1.2 compliance via dedicated DP/DN pins. It performs D+/D− detection to identify USB SDP, CDP, DCP, and HVDCP adapters, then automatically configures the optimal input current limit (e.g., 500mA for SDP, 1.5A for DCP). This eliminates manual configuration and ensures safe, adapter-aware power delivery without host processor intervention.
How does the ModelGauge m5 fuel gauge in the MAX77840EWG+T achieve ±1% SOC accuracy without calibration?
The MAX77840EWG+T's ModelGauge m5 uses a hybrid algorithm combining coulomb counting with open-circuit voltage (OCV) tracking and dynamic impedance compensation. It learns battery characteristics over cycles and applies temperature-compensated OCV curves-enabling ±1% SOC accuracy across 0–100% range without factory or field calibration, even after storage or partial discharge.
What is the purpose of the ONKEY pin on the MAX77840EWG+T, and what functions does it support?
The ONKEY pin on the MAX77840EWG+T provides true hardware-level power control: a short press exits shipping mode, a long press triggers a hardware reset, and release initiates normal system power-up sequencing. It operates independently of firmware, ensuring deterministic behavior during battery insertion, recovery from deep discharge, or forced system restart-critical for field-deployed devices.
Can the MAX77840EWG+T support reverse boost (OTG) operation, and what protections are included?
Yes, the MAX77840EWG+T supports reverse boost (OTG) operation delivering up to 1.5A from the battery to VBUS. It includes proprietary MAXOTG protection that actively limits output current to prevent SYS rail collapse under heavy loads. This hardware-enforced current limit operates without external components and maintains system stability during simultaneous charging and peripheral powering.
