General Description
The MAX11835 haptic (tactile) actuator controller provides a complete solution to drive haptic actuators to
add haptic feedback to products featuring user-touch
interfaces. The MAX11835 drives actuators including
single-layer, multilayer piezo, or electroactive polymer
actuators. The device efficiently generates any type of
user-programmable waveform including sine waves,
trapezoidals, squares, and pulses to drive the piezo
loads to create custom haptic sensations. The low-power
device directly interfaces with an application processor
or host controller through an I
various blocks including a boost regulator, pattern storage memory, and waveform generator block in one
package, thus providing a complete haptic feedback
controller solution.
The MAX11835 contains a boost regulator that uses
an external flyback to efficiently generate high-voltage
waveforms up to 250V to drive haptic actuators while
limiting current drain. The boost regulator features an
internal n-channel MOSFET with current limit to control
the drain from the battery or power supply.
The MAX11835 features user-programmable haptic feedback pattern storage memory that drives the waveform
generator with piecewise linear data using 8-bit resolution. The device also offers a single trigger interface to
allow the implementation of fast haptics directly from the
touch controller. This allows use of multiple controllers in
parallel to provide haptic sensations for larger displays.
The device provides smart low-power and standby
modes to reduce power consumption before, during,
and after waveform generation. The MAX11835 enters
low-power mode after a haptic event to automatically
save power.
The MAX11835 offers a fast 400kHz I
to allow programming of various modes of operation,
status checking, and haptic waveforms. The operating supply range is 1.7V to 3.6V for the digital supply
(DVDD) and 2.7V to 5.25V for the boost supply (BVDD)
and analog supply (AVDD).
