EVALUATION KIT AVAILABLE
MAX31914
General Description
The MAX31914 translates and conditions the 24V digital output of sensors and switches used in industrial,
process, and building automation to 5V CMOS-compatible
signals required by microcontrollers. It provides the frontend interface circuit of a programmable logic controller
(PLC) digital input module.
The signal voltage translation is performed in conjunction
with input current limiting and lowpass filtering. Input
current limiting allows a significant reduction in power
consumed from the field-supply voltage, as compared
to traditional discrete resistor-divider implementations.
To achieve the lowest in-class power dissipation, the IC
uses patent-pending circuit techniques to achieve further
reduction of power dissipation beyond what is possible
by input current limiting alone. This special low-power
operating mode is automatically activated when on-chip
lowpass filtering is selected.
Selectable on-chip lowpass filters allow flexible debouncing
and filtering of sensor inputs based on the application.
When no filtering is selected, the IC is capable of detecting
pulses as short as 0.75µs at its field inputs.
All 8 input channels are translated to CMOS logic levels and
presented in parallel on the eight output pins for direct or
galvanically isolated interface with a controller ASIC or
micro.
The on-chip 5V voltage regulator can be used to power
external optocouplers, digital isolators, or other external
5V circuitry.

Note 2: If a 24V supply is not available, the device can be powered through 5VOUT. In this mode of operation, the VCC24V
supply must be left unconnected. All other specifications remain identical. The field-supply alarms are asserted indicating
the absence of the 24V supply in this mode of operation.
Note 3: When using suggested external 2.2kΩ series resistors, limits of -36V to +36V apply.
Note 4: When input current switching is enabled (DB0/DB1 = 0), there is no input threshold hysteresis. In this case, the input
threshold for both falling and rising signals is the high to low threshold.
Note 5: External resistor RREF can be adjusted to set any desired current limit between 0.5mA and 6mA.
Note 6: INn-to-OPn propagation delay difference between two channels on the same IC.
Note 7: Propagation delay from field input (INn) to CMOS output (OPn). Tested with a 6.5V pulse applied directly to the device INn
pins. Propagation delay is measured between the 50% transitions of the rising and falling edges.
Note 8: The propagation delay limit is 1ms maximum when VTSEL = 0.

Detailed Description
Principles of Operation
Input Current Clamp
The input pins (IN1–IN8) sense the state (on versus off)
of field sensors by monitoring both the voltage and the
current flowing through the sensor output. The current
sinking through these input pins rises linearly with input
voltage until the limit set by the current clamp is reached.
Any voltage increase beyond this point does not increase
the input current any further.
The value of the current clamp is adjustable through
an external resistor connected between pin RIREF and
ground. The voltage at the input pins (IN1–IN8) are
compared against internally set references to determine
if the sensor is on (logic 1) or off (logic 0). The trip points
determining the on/off status of the sensor can be selected
through pin VTSELECT as follows:
www.maximintegrated.com
● VTSELECT = 1 selects trip points that satisfy the
requirements of IEC 61131-2 type 1, type 2, and type 3
switches.
● VTSELECT = logic 0 selects trip points that are CMOS
logic compatible and roughly centered approximately
2.5V.
Pins RT1–RT8 must be connected directly to GND to
provide a return path for the input current if LEDs are
not required for visual indication. If VTSELECT = logic 0,
RT1–RT8 must be connected directly to GND. If visual
indication is needed when VTSELECT = logic 0, then
LEDs can be connected to pins OP1–OP8 through external
current-limiting resistors.
Glitch Filter
A digital glitch filter provides debouncing and filtering of the
noisy sensor signals. The time constant of this filter is selectable between 0 (i.e., no filtering), 25µs, 0.75ms, and 3ms.
The selection is achieved through pins DB0 and DB1. The
Maxim Integrated │ 9
MAX31914
Ultra-Low Power Industrial, Octal,
Digital Input Translator
filtered outputs of the comparators are presented to the logic
output pins, OP1–OP8.
To provide the digital glitch filter, the device checks that an
input is stable for at least three clock cycles. The duration
of a clock cycle is 1/3 of the selected debounce time. If the
input is not stable for at least three clock cycles, the input
change is not sent to the internal shift register. See Table 1
for current-switching settings.
Low-Power Current Clamp Switching
The MAX31914 uses a switched current limiter to reduce
power consumption below what is achievable by current
limiting along. The internal filter clock is used to switch
input current between 100% and 20% of the chosen
current limit. For example, if the current limit is set to
2.4mA, the input current will switch between 2.4mA
and 0.48mA. The filter clock switches input current at a
50% duty cycle. The clock period for current switching is
automatically selected by the DB1 and DB0 glitch filter
settings. See Table 1 for current-switching settings.
Temperature Monitoring
The internal junction temperature of the IC is constantly
monitored and an alarm is raised, by asserting the FAULT
pin, if the temperature rises above TALRM.
Supply Voltage Monitoring
A primary supply voltage-monitor circuit constantly monitors the field-supply voltage. If this voltage falls below a
threshold (VOFFUVLO), an alarm is raised by asserting
the FAULT and UVFAULT pins, indicating to the microcontroller that the part is experiencing a fault condition and
the data is not to be trusted. Once the field-supply voltage
has recovered and goes above VONUVLO, the FAULT and
UVFAULT pins are released.

Powering the Device Through the 5VOUT Pin
The device can also be powered using a 5V supply
connected to the 5VOUT pin. In this case, a 24V supply
is no longer needed and the VCC24V supply must be
kept unconnected (see Figure 2)
In this configuration, the device will always indicate a
UVFAULT and the FAULT pin will always be active (pulled
low). Faults due to the Supply Voltage monitoring and
Temperature Monitoring will not be available.
This configuration has lower power consumption and
heat dissipation since the on-chip 5V voltage regulator is
disabled.
