Product Details
The dual-input power MUX selects the higher voltage from two different input sources to power the step-down converter. Control circuitry ensures that only one channel of the MUX is on at a time to prevent cross-conduction between input sources. For single-input applications, the MUX can be bypassed and the step-down converter can be powered directly from the SUP pin.
The MAX77756 is available in a small 2.33mm × 1.42mm (0.7mm max height), 15-bump wafer-level package (WLP). For a similar buck converter without a power MUX, refer to the MAX77596.

Description
The MAX77756 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled and tested PCB that demonstrates the MAX77756 synchronous 500mA step-down converter. The EV kit allows for easy evaluation of the IC’s input power multiplexer and step-down converter. A dual-range (8mA and 800mA full scale) electronic load is included on the EV kit for easy buck converter load control.
Windows®-based software provides a user-friendly graphical user interface (GUI), as well as a detailed register-based interface to exercise the features of the IC.
