Overview

The MAX77958EWV+T is a standalone USB Type-C and USB Power Delivery (PD) controller designed to simplify the implementation of modern charging interfaces. It features an autonomous state machine that handles Power Delivery 3.0 negotiation without requiring an external microcontroller for basic operation. The device is housed in a compact 30-bump WLP package, making it suitable for space-constrained mobile and portable designs.

Why Choose This Part

The MAX77958 allows for faster time-to-market by using a firmware-less configuration approach via an autonomous state machine. It operates across a wide supply voltage range of 2.5V to 20V and features a low supply current of 192uA, optimizing energy efficiency in battery-powered applications. Its integrated BC1.2 detection and high-voltage VCONN switch reduce external component count and PCB footprint.

Applications

USB-C Power Sink
Managing power negotiation for portable devices that charge via USB-C up to 100W.
USB-C Power Source
Implementing power delivery for battery packs or power adapters providing various PDO voltage levels.
Dual-Role Power (DRP) Systems
Switching between power source and sink modes in tablets, cameras, and handheld instrumentation.
Smart Cables
Integration into active USB Type-C cables and dongles for sophisticated power management.
