The MAX8904 power-management IC provides a complete power-supply solution for 2-cell Li+ handheld/Li-Poly applications such as point-of-sale terminals, digital SLR cameras, digital video cameras and ultra-mobile PCs.

The MAX8904 includes five step-down converters (1V2, 1V8, 3V3, 5V0, and ADJ) with internal MOSFETs and +1%/-3% accurate output voltages for processor core, memory, I/O, and other system power rail requirements. LCD backlighting is supported by a WLED boost converter that can provide 35mA for up to 8 WLEDs. This boost converter is also configurable as a 6-bit programmable voltage source that can provide up to 63mA of output current. A 500mA, internal MOSFET, current-limited switch (CLS), allows system designers to control input power to external peripheral devices.

The MAX8904 controls an external n-MOSFET for input overvoltage protection (13.5V, typ) and an external p-MOSFET for reverse polarity protection (up to -28V) of downstream circuits. System input current monitoring for power management is facilitated by an on-board current-sense amplifier (CSA) with differential inputs and a 1.2V full scale, ground-referenced analog output.

A 400kHz, I²C interface supports output voltage setting of the ADJ power rail and boost regulator (voltage source mode), WLED current setting for the boost regulator (WLED current regulator mode), GPIO control, and enable/disable of ADJ, 5V0, boost regulator, CSA blocks. The I²C interface also enables the host processor to read on-board fault status registers when interrupted by the MAX8904 active-low FLT pin under system fault conditions.

An emergency shutdown input, active-low SHDN allows converters preselected through I²C to turn off immediately under power-fail conditions, thus saving valuable firmware execution time. An uncommitted, active-low, 14V open-drain comparator (CMP) with a 1.25V internal reference is also provided in the MAX8904. The MAX8904 PWREN logic input turns on the 1V2, 1V8, 3V3, and 5V0 default power rails.

The MAX8904 is available in a 56-pin, 7mm x 7mm TQFN package.

Product Details

The MAX8904 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled and tested PCB that evaluates the MAX8904 power-management IC. The MAX8904 EV kit operates from an input supply range of 3.4V to 13.2V and is controlled by an I²C interface. The MAX8904 includes five step-down converters (1V2, 1V8, 3V3, 5V0, and ADJ), a WLED step-up converter (BST), a current-limited switch (CLS), a current-sense amplifier (CSA) with differential inputs, an active-low open-drain comparator (CMP), and an 8-bit GPIO port. The MAX8904 also controls an external n-MOSFET for input overvoltage protection (13.5V, typ) and an external p-MOSFET for reverse-polarity protection (up to -28V) of downstream circuits. The I²C interface supports output-voltage setting of the ADJ power rail and BST regulator (voltage-source mode), WLED current setting for the BST regulator (WLED current regulator mode), GPIO control, and enable/disable of ADJ, 5V0, BST, CSA, CMP, and CLS blocks.

The MAX8904 EV kit also includes Windows® 2000-, Windows XP®-, and Windows Vista®-compatible software that provides a simple graphical user interface (GUI) for exercising the features of the MAX8904. To evaluate the MAX8904, order the MINIQUSB+ command module along with the MAX8904 EV kit.
