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.

MAX6816/MAX6817/MAX6818
_______________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 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 VCC 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 VCC supply. If the total sys-
tem VCC supply current is less than the current flowing
back into the VCC supply, VCC will rise above normal
levels. In some low-current systems, a zener diode on
VCC 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

damage. The ESD structures withstand high ESD in all
states: normal operation, shutdown, and powered
down. After an ESD event, the MAX6816/MAX6817/
MAX6818 keep working without latchup, whereas other
solutions can latch and must be powered down to
remove latchup.
ESD protection can be tested in various ways; these
products are characterized for protection to the follow-
ing limits:
1) ±15kV using the Human Body Model
2) ±8kV using the Contact-Discharge method specified
in IEC 1000-4-2
3) ±15kV using IEC 1000-4-2’s Air-Gap method.
ESD Test Conditions
ESD performance depends on a variety of conditions.
Contact Maxim for a reliability report that documents
test setup, test methodology, and test results.
Human Body Model
Figure 6a shows the Human Body Model and Figure 6b
shows the current waveform it generates when dis-
charged into a low impedance. This model consists of
a 100pF capacitor charged to the ESD voltage of inter-
est, which is then discharged into the test device
through a 1.5kΩresistor.
IEC 1000-4-2
The IEC 1000-4-2 standard covers ESD testing and
performance of finished equipment; it does not specifi-
cally refer to integrated circuits. The MAX6816/

meets Level 4 (the highest level) of IEC 1000-4-2, with-
out the need for additional ESD-protection compo-
nents.
The major difference between tests done using the
Human Body Model and IEC 1000-4-2 is higher peak
current in IEC 1000-4-2, because series resistance is
lower in the IEC 1000-4-2 model. Hence, the ESD with-
stand voltage measured to IEC 1000-4-2 is generally
lower than that measured using the Human Body
Model. Figure 7a shows the IEC 1000-4-2 model and
Figure 7b shows the current waveform for the 8kV,
IEC 1000-4-2, Level 4, ESD Contact-Discharge test.
The Air-Gap test involves approaching the device with
a charged probe. The Contact-Discharge method
connects the probe to the device before the probe is
energized.
Machine Model
The Machine Model for ESD tests all pins using a
200pF storage capacitor and zero discharge resis-
tance. Its objective is to emulate the stress caused by
contact that occurs with handling and assembly during
manufacturing.
MAX6818 µP Interfacing
The MAX6818 has an output enable (EN) input that
allows switch outputs to be three-stated on the µP data
bus until polled by the µP. Also, state changes at the
switch inputs are detected, and an output (CH) goes low
after the debounce period to signal the µP. Figure 4
shows the timing diagram for enabling outputs and read-
ing data. If the output enable is not used, tie EN to GND
to “always enable’’ the switch outputs. If EN is low, CH is
always high. If a change of state is not required, leave
CH unconnected.
