The MAX77812 is a quad-phase, high-current, buck regulator for multicore applications processors in the lat-est smart phones and tablets. The MAX77812 achieves world-class transient response with miniature PCB foot-print through the use of small inductors and output capaci-tors. Differential remote sense feedback enables tight DC and AC accuracy at the point of load. The MAX77812’s flexible architecture allows user-selectable phase configu-rations such as 4, 3 + 1, 2 + 2, 2 + 1 + 1, and 1 + 1 + 1 + 1.

Programmable current limit minimizes inductor size given the system’s actual requirements. Programmable soft-start ramp rate, rising and falling ramp rates, and startup operation provide control over inrush current as the regulator transitions between operating states. An output voltage range of 0.25V to 1.525V supports a wide range of application processors, down to the lowest power retention states.

Multifunction general-purpose inputs and high-speed serial interface provide flexible enable control of each regulator, DVS operation, and output voltage ramp rate control that enables rapid output voltage adjustment to optimize performance in all system operating states.

The MAX77812 features I2C-compatible, 2-wire serial interface consisting of a bidirectional serial data line (SDA) and a serial clock line (SCL). The MAX77812 I2C supports SCL clock rates up to 3.4MHz. The MAX77812 I2C can be configured as a 26MHz (typ) SPI interface by I2C_SPI_SEL input pin.

The MAX77812 is available in a 64-bump 0.4mm pitch WLP package with a maximum height of 0.8mm

評(píng)估板MAX77812 EVK

The MAX77812 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled and tested printed circuit board (PCB) that demonstrates the MAX77812. The EV kit allows for easy evaluation of each feature. It supports user-programmable phase con-figuration to one of five options:
Single output in 4 phase configuration (default)
Dual outputs in 3 + 1 phase configuration
Dual outputs in 2 + 2 phase configuration
Three outputs in 2 + 1 + 1 phase configuration
Four outputs in 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 phase configuration
A Micro-B USB cable is included in the package to serve as the USB to I2C interface for easy testing. Windows?- based software provides a user-friendly interface to exer-cise the features of the MAX77812. This software offers a graphical user interface (GUI) as well as a register-based interface.
