J1 to position 1-2. This connects EN to V
IN
through a 510kΩ pullup resistor so that EN is controlled by V
IN
. Also, install
header jumper J2. This connects V
IO
to V
L
so that V
IO
is powered from V
L
, eliminating the need for an external V
IO
power
supply.
MAXUSB_INTERFACE#
The MAXUSB_INTERFACE# along with the companion EV kit GUI software allows users to easily change the
MAX77857’s register settings with a Windows PC. Before connecting the MAXUSB_INTERFACE# to the EV kit’s
MAXUSB_INTERFACE# connector (J5), make sure the MAXUSB_INTERFACE# is configured with the following settings:
•
SW1, SW2 to ON Position (This enables I
2
C mode on the MAXUSB_INTERFACE#.)
•
V
L
Jumper (J5) to 1.8V (This sets the MAXUSB_INTERFACE#’s V
IO
voltage.)
•
Warning:
Setting this incorrectly to 3.3V could potentially damage the MAX77857 IC.
The MAXUSB_INTERFACE# also includes an on-board LDO that can supply the necessary voltage to V
IO
. If you are
using the MAXUS_INTERFACE#, disconnect any external V
IO
supply from the EV kit, and make sure header jumper J2
is removed from the EV kit.
External I
2
C Bus
If you wish to connect to the external I
2
C serial bus and not use the MAXUSB_INTERFACE#, unplug the
MAXUSB_INTERFACE# from the EV kit’s MAXUSB_INTERFACE# connector (J5). Apply an external I/O supply to the
V
IO
pin or power the V
IO
pin from the V
L
pin by connecting header jumper J2. Make sure the external I
2
C serial bus’s
logic voltag
e level is compatible with the MAX77857’s I/O logic voltage level. Refer to the
MAX77857
IC data sheet for
the appropriate I/O logic voltage level.
R
SEL
Configuration Resistor
The MAX77857 includes an SEL pin to set the I
2
C slave address, switching current limit, and feedback configuration. A
resistor with 1% tolerance (or better) should be chosen for R
SEL
(R9). The default R
SEL
value installed on the EV kit is
0Ω. See
SEL
values and their corresponding settings. The switching current limit is also adjustable
dynamically through the I
2
C serial interface when the IC is enabled. See the
EV Kit Software
section for more information.
