Overview

The MAX77958EVKIT-2S3# is a comprehensive evaluation platform for the MAX77958 USB Type-C Power Delivery (PD) controller. This board enables engineers to develop and test USB PD 3.0 compliant systems, featuring the ability to configure Power Delivery roles including DFP, UFP, and DRP. It is specifically designed to demonstrate the controller's integrated features such as moisture detection, cable orientation, and automated power role detection.

Why Choose This Part

This kit features integrated short-to-VBUS protection on CC pins and moisture detection for enhanced reliability. It simplifies firmware development with a customization script and MTP memory for storing custom configurations without an external microcontroller. The board also includes an I2C master interface, allowing the MAX77958 to control downstream power ICs directly.

Applications

USB-C Power Delivery Sink/Source
Designing devices that require high-power charging or power supply via USB-C using the PD 3.0 standard.
Industrial Handhelds
Utilizing moisture detection and corrosion prevention features for robust charging in outdoor or harsh environments.
Fast Role Swap Systems
Implementing FRS in peripherals that must maintain operation when a power source is disconnected.
Battery-Powered Electronics
Using the I2C master functionality to autonomously control external chargers or DC-DC converters based on negotiated PD profiles.
