MAX11835
Haptic Piezo Controller with I
2
C Interface
19-xxxx; Rev 0; 1/10
General Description
The MAX11835 haptic (tactile) piezo controller provides
a complete solution to drive ceramic piezo actuators
to create haptic feedback for products featuring user
touch interfaces. The MAX11835 can drive single-layer
or multilayer piezo actuators over a wide range of volt-
ages up to 250V. It efficiently generates any type of user-
programmable waveforms including sine, trapezoidal,
square, and pulse to drive the piezo loads to create cus-
tom haptic sensations. The low-power MAX11835 direct-
ly interfaces with an application processor/host controller
through a standard serial interface and integrates vari-
ous blocks including a boost regulator, pattern storage
memory, and waveform generator block in one package,
thus providing a complete piezo driver solution.
The MAX11835 contains a boost regulator that uses
an external flyback to efficiently generate high-voltage
waveforms up to 250V to drive piezo actuators while lim-
iting current drain. The boost regulator features an inter-
nal n-channel MOSFET to set current limit and control the
drain from the battery or power supply.
The MAX11835 features user-programmable touch feed-
back pattern storage memory that drives the waveform
generator with piecewise linear data using 8-bit resolu-
tion. The device also offers a trigger feature that makes
it possible to use multiple haptic piezo controllers in
parallel to provide haptic sensations for larger displays.
Its smart, low-power, and standby modes reduce power
consumption before, during, and after waveform genera-
tion. The MAX11835 goes into low-power mode after a
haptic event to save power automatically.
The MAX11835 offers a fast 400kHz, I
2
C serial interface
to allow programming of various modes of operation,
status checking, and haptic waveforms. The operating
supply range includes 1.7V to 3.6V for digital supply and
2.7V to 5.25V for V
