Product details
Overview
MAX77857QEVKIT# from Analog Devices is a fully assembled and tested evaluation kit for the MAX77857 buck-boost regulator in FC2QFN package, supporting 2.5V–16V input, 4.5V–15V programmable output (internal feedback), 7A switching current limit, and I²C-based dynamic voltage control. It enables rapid validation of high-efficiency power delivery in portable electronics, USB PD sink applications, and multi-rail embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX77857QEVKIT# datasheet, MAX77857QEVKIT# pinout, MAX77857QEVKIT# application, or MAX77857QEVKIT# equivalent, this kit provides factory-configured 5V startup operation, accessible I²C test points (SCL/SDA), EN/POKB/INTB signal access, and integrated MAXUSB_INTERFACE# for Windows GUI-driven register-level control - all critical for power architecture prototyping and firmware integration testing.
Technical Context
The MAX77857QEVKIT# implements the MAX77857 IC as a synchronous 4-switch buck-boost regulator with integrated 7A MOSFETs, operating at 1.8MHz (I²C-adjustable), delivering up to 97% peak efficiency at 4VIN/5VOUT/700mA. Its dual LX nodes support interleaved operation, while internal feedback resistors set default VOUT = 5V with 73.5mV step resolution.
Hardware configurability includes RSEL resistor selection (R9) for I²C slave address (0x66–0x6F), current limit (1.8A–7A), and feedback mode; jumper J1/J2 for EN/VIO sourcing (VIN or VL); and external feedback resistor options (RTOP/RBOT) enabling 3V–15V startup range. The board integrates sense pins (INS/PGND1S, OUTS/PGND2S) for precision line/load regulation and efficiency measurement.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the MAX77857QEVKIT#?
The MAX77857QEVKIT# is a fully assembled evaluation kit for the MAX77857 buck-boost regulator IC. It enables engineers to validate performance, configure registers via I²C, measure efficiency and transient response, and prototype power architectures - all using the actual FC2QFN-packaged MAX77857BEFE+T device installed on the board.
Does the MAX77857QEVKIT# include the MAXUSB_INTERFACE# hardware?
Yes, the MAX77857QEVKIT# includes the MAXUSB_INTERFACE# module as part of the standard kit. This USB-to-I²C adapter enables direct communication between a Windows PC and the MAX77857 IC on the evaluation board, supporting both GUI-driven control and low-level register access through the provided software.
What is the default output voltage configuration of the MAX77857QEVKIT#?
The MAX77857QEVKIT# is factory-configured with internal feedback resistors and a default startup output voltage of 5V. This configuration uses RSEL = 0Ω (R9), resulting in a 7A current limit and I²C slave address 0x66. Output voltage can be adjusted dynamically via I²C or reconfigured for 3V–15V range using external RTOP/RBOT resistors.
Can the MAX77857QEVKIT# operate without a host PC or MAXUSB_INTERFACE#?
Yes, the MAX77857QEVKIT# supports standalone operation. With jumper J1 set to position 1–2 and J2 installed, EN is pulled up from VIN and VIO is powered from VL - allowing autonomous startup and regulation without external I²C control or PC connection. This mode is ideal for functional verification and load testing.
What are the key test points accessible on the MAX77857QEVKIT# board?
The MAX77857QEVKIT# provides dedicated test points for EN, POKB/INTB, VIO, SCL, and SDA - enabling direct probing of control and interface signals. It also includes isolated sense pins (INS/PGND1S and OUTS/PGND2S) for accurate input/output voltage measurement, plus probe points on LX1, LX2, and VOUT for switching waveform and ripple analysis without loading the power path.
