High-Efficiency Power-Management IC with I
2
C
Control for 2-Cell Li+ Battery Operated Devices
General Description
The MAX8904 power-management IC provides a com-
plete power-supply solution for 2-cell Li+ handheld/Li-Poly
applications such as point-of-sale terminals, digital SLR
cameras, digital video cameras and ultra-mobile PCs.
The MAX8904 includes five step-down converters (1V2,
1V8, 3V3, 5V0, and ADJ) with internal MOSFETs and
+1%/-3% accurate output voltages for processor core,
memory, I/O, and other system power rail requirements.
LCD backlighting is supported by a WLED boost con-
verter that can provide 35mA for up to 8 WLEDs. This
boost converter is also configurable as a 6-bit program-
mable voltage source that can provide up to 63mA of
output current. A 500mA, internal MOSFET, current-lim-
ited switch (CLS), allows system designers to control
input power to external peripheral devices.
The MAX8904 controls an external n-MOSFET for input
overvoltage protection (13.5V, typ) and an external
p-MOSFET for reverse polarity protection (up to -28V) of
downstream circuits. System input current monitoring
for power management is facilitated by an on-board
current-sense amplifier (CSA) with differential inputs
and a 1.2V full scale, ground-referenced analog output.
A 400kHz, I
2
C interface supports output voltage setting
of the ADJ power rail and boost regulator (voltage
source mode), WLED current setting for the boost regu-
lator (WLED current regulator mode), GPIO control, and
enable/disable of ADJ, 5V0, boost regulator, CSA
blocks. The I
2
C interface also enables the host proces-
sor to read on-board fault status registers when inter-
rupted by the MAX8904
FLT
pin under system fault
conditions.
An emergency shutdown input,
SHDN
allows convert-
ers preselected through I
2
C to turn off immediately
under power-fail conditions, thus saving valuable
firmware execution time. An uncommitted, active-low,
14V open-drain comparator (CMP) with a 1.25V internal
reference is also provided in the MAX8904. The
MAX8904 PWREN logic input turns on the 1V2, 1V8,
3V3, and 5V0 default power rails.
The MAX8904 is available in a 56-pin, 7mm x 7mm
TQFN package.

Note 1:
_LX pins have internal clamp diodes to _IN and EP. Applications that forward bias these diodes should take care not to exceed
the device’s power-dissipation limits.
Note 2:
Package thermal resistances were obtained using the method described in JEDEC specification JESD51-7, using a four-layer
board. For detailed information on package thermal considerations, refer to
www.maxim-ic.com/thermal-tutorial.
Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
