General Description
The MX879 is an 8 channel high voltage switch with
8-bit parallel or serial input control. The MX879
connects directly to a microprocessor through a
standard 3 wire serial interface. The open drain pull-
up output configuration can drive up to 60 volts at
120mA. Outputs can be paralleled for increased
drive current up to a device total of 600mA source.
The MX879 is designed to operate over a
temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, and is
available in a QFN-28 Package.

Absolute Maximum Ratings are
stress ratings. Stresses in excess of
these ratings can cause permanent
damage to the device. Functional
operation of the device at these or
any other conditions beyond those
indicated in the operational sections
of this data sheet is not implied.
Exposure of the device to the
absolute maximum ratings for an
extended period may degrade the
device and affect its reliability.

ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Although the MX879 features proprietary ESD protection circuitry,
permanent damage may be sustained if subjected to high energy electrostatic discharges. Proper ESD precautions
are recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality.

Notes:
To avoid unwanted output during VPWR application and system initialization, keep OE at a logic
low until CS has completed one cycle.
Thermal Resistance is measured in still air with the device soldered to a 6 square inch board
without a ground plane. Applications may require derating of the specified maximum currents to
avoid exceeding the maximum operation junction temperature.
