XR77129

40V Quad Channel Digital PWM/PFM Programmable Power Management System
Data Sheet

Description

The XR77129 is a quad channel Digital Pulse Width Modulated (DPWM) step-down (buck) controller. An extremely wide 6V to 40V input voltage range allows for single supply operation from standard power rails.

With integrated FET gate drivers, two LDOs for standby power and a 105kHz to 1.23MHz independent channel to channel programmable constant operating frequency, the XR77129 reduces overall component count and solution footprint and optimizes conversion efficiencies. A selectable Digital Pulse Frequency Mode (DPFM) capable of better than 80% efficiency at light current load and low operating current allow for portable and Energy Star compliant applications. Each XR77129 output channel is individually programmable as low as 0.6V with a resolution as fine as 2.5mV, and configurable for precise soft-start and soft-stop sequencing, including delay and ramp control.

The XR77129 operation is fully controlled via a SMBus-compliant I2C interface allowing for advanced local and/or remote reconfiguration, full performance monitoring and reporting as well as fault handling.

Built-in independent output overvoltage, over temperature, overcurrent and undervoltage lockout protections insure safe operation under abnormal operating conditions.

The XR77129 is offered in a RoHS compliant, "green"/halogen free 44-pin TQFN package.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find the product page of the part that you want to get an evaluation board for and click on Parts & Purchasing. Example:

 

Find the icons under Buy Now or Order Samples:

 
 

Click on the Buy Now icon and see who has stock and click on the Buy button:

 
 
 

Alternatively, you can click on the Order Samples

 
 

If the icons are missing, then contact Customer Support.

The -F suffix indicates ROHS / Green compliance:

The best way to determine this is to go to maxlinear.com and type the part into the search function. At or near the top of the results you should see something that looks like:
 
 
 

In this example, we looked for XRA1201. Click on part number header or on the link at the bottom of the result.  This brings you to the product page. For example:

 
 
 

Click on Parts & Purchasing, highlighted with the blue arrow above. The screen changes to:

 
 
 

Notice the status column and the “Show obsolete parts” link.  A legend tells you the definition of the different statuses. Click on the “Show obsolete parts” link to see EOL or OBS part numbers along with the Active part numbers, the legend still present:

 
 
 

Another method to find out if a part is OBS or EOL is to click on SUPPORT at the top:

 
 
 

And then Product Change Notifications:

 
  
 

Type the part into the search, and click on one of the part numbers from the drop down menu. Then you can look for the Product Discontinuation Notice, which generally is at the top of the list, for example:

 
 
 

If you see this, it tells you that this particular orderable part has been discontinued and when the last order date is, or was. If you click on the file, then you can view the notice we sent about this if you purchased the part in the recent past. It may also advise of a replacement part. When an orderable part first becomes discontinued, Product Discontinuation Notices are sent are sent to those who have purchased the parts in the recent past, if purchased directly, with a dated opportunity to place a last order.
