±15kV ESD-Protected, Single/Dual/Octal,
CMOS Switch Debouncers
General Description
The MAX6816/MAX6817/MAX6818 are single, dual, and
octal switch debouncers that provide clean interfacing
of mechanical switches to digital systems. They accept
one or more bouncing inputs from a mechanical switch
and produce a clean digital output after a short, preset
qualification delay. Both the switch opening bounce
and the switch closing bounce are removed. Robust
switch inputs handle ±25V levels and are ±15kV ESD-
protected for use in harsh industrial environments. They
feature single-supply operation from +2.7V to +5.5V.
Undervoltage lockout circuitry ensures the output is in
the correct state upon power-up.
The single MAX6816 and dual MAX6817 are offered in
SOT packages and require no external components.
Their low supply current makes them ideal for use in
portable equipment.
The MAX6818 octal switch debouncer is designed for
data-bus interfacing. The MAX6818 monitors switches
and provides a switch change-of-state output (CH),
simplifying microprocessor (µP) polling and interrupts.
Additionally, the MAX6818 has three-state outputs con-
trolled by an enable (EN) pin, and is pin-compatible
with the LS573 octal latch (except for the
CH
pin),
allowing easy interfacing to a digital data bus.

_______________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
4
input does not equal the output, the XNOR gate issues
a counter 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 sup-
ply voltage is below the undervoltage threshold
(typically 1.9V), the debounce circuitry remains trans-
parent. 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 voltages
can safely swing ±25V to ground (Figure 3). Proprietary
ESD-protection structures protect against high
ESD encountered in harsh industrial environments,
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 63kΩ (typical) pullup resistors connect-
ed to each input, driving an input to -25V will draw
approximately 0.5mA (up to 4mA for eight inputs) from
the V
CC
supply. Driving an input to +25V will cause
approximately 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 structures
are incorporated on all pins to protect against electro-
static discharges encountered during handling and
assembly. The MAX6816/MAX6817/MAX6818 have
extra protection against static electricity. Maxim's engi-
neers have developed state-of-the-art structures to pro-
tect against ESD of ±15kV at the switch inputs without
