MAXIM INTEGRATED / ANALOG DEVICES MAX6818EAPT Switch Debouncer

The MAX6818EAP+T from Maxim Integrated Products is a robust, ESD-protected octal CMOS switch debouncer in a 20-pin SSOP package. It effectively interfaces mechanical switches to digital systems by removing bouncing signals, providing a clean digital output after a short qualification delay. The device handles switch bounce for both opening and closing, with inputs capable of tolerating voltage levels up to ±25V and ESD protection levels of ±15KV human body model, suitable for harsh industrial environments. It operates with a single supply voltage ranging from +2.7V to +5.5V and includes undervoltage lockout circuitry to ensure correct output states upon power-up. The MAX6818 incorporates three state outputs controlled by an active-low enable pin, and features a switch change of state output (active-low CH) for easy microprocessor polling and interrupt handling. Its applications include microprocessor switch interfacing, industrial and portable instruments, PC-based systems, and membrane keypads. Key features include simplified system interface without external components, low supply current (6µA), 40ms debounce duration, built-in protection circuitry, and broad operating temperature from -40°C to +125°C. The device is pin-compatible with the LS573 octal latch (excluding the CH pin). Note that market demand has extended lead times, and delivery may fluctuate, with no discounts available.
