Detailed Description
Theory of Operation
The MAX6816/MAX6817/MAX6818 are designed to
eliminate the extraneous level changes that result from
interfacing with mechanical switches (switch bounce).
Virtually all mechanical switches bounce upon opening or
closing. These switch debouncers remove bounce when
a switch opens or closes by requiring that sequentially
clocked inputs remain in the same state for a number of
sampling periods. The output does not change until the
input is stable for a duration of 40ms.
The circuit block diagram (Figure 1) shows the func-
tional blocks consisting of an on-chip oscillator, counter,
exclusive-NOR gate, and D flip-flop. When the input does
not equal the output, the XNOR gate issues a count-
er reset. When the switch input state is stable for the
full qualification period, the counter clocks the flip-flop,
updating the output. Figure 2 shows the typical opening
and closing switch debounce operation. On the MAX6818,
the change output (CH) is updated simultaneously with
the switch outputs.
Undervoltage Lockout
The undervoltage lockout circuitry ensures that the
out-puts are at the correct state on power-up. While
the supply voltage is below the undervoltage threshold
(typically 1.9V), the debounce circuitry remains
transparent. Switch states are present at the logic outputs
with no debouce delay.

Robust Switch Inputs
The switch inputs on the MAX6816/MAX6817/MAX6818
have overvoltage clamping diodes to protect against
damaging fault conditions. Switch input voltage scan
safely swing ±25V to ground (Figure 3). Proprietary
ESD-protection structures protect against high ESD
encountered in harsh industrial enviroments, membrane
keypads, and portable applications. They are designed to
withstand ±15kV per the IEC 1000-4-2 Air Gap Discharge
Test and ±8kV per the IEC 1000-4-2 Contact Discharge
Test.
Since there are 63kW (typical) pullup resistors
connected to each input, driving an input to -25V draws
approximately 0.5mA (up to 4mA for eight inputs) from the
V
CC
supply. Driving an input to +25V will cause approx-
imately 0.32mA of current (up to 2.6mA for eight inputs)
to flow back into the V
CC
supply. If the total sys-tem V
CC
supply current is less than the current flowing back into
the V
CC
supply, V
CC
will rise above normal levels. In
some low-current systems, a zener diode on V
CC
may
be required.
±15kV ESD Protection
As with all Maxim devices, ESD-protection struc-
tures are incorporated on all pins to protect against
electrostatic discharges encountered during handling
and assembly. The MAX6816/MAX6817/MAX6818
have extra protection against static electricity. Maxim’s
engineers have developed state-of-the-art structures to
protect against ESD of ±15kV at the switch inputs without
damage. The ESD structures withstand high ESD in all
