MAX6816/MAX6817/
MAX6818
±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
controlled 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
functional blocks consisting of an on-chip oscillator, counter,
exclusive-NOR gate, and D flip-flop. When the input
www.maximintegrated.com
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 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–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 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
connected to each input, driving an input to -25V draws
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
www.maximintegrated.com
inputs) to flow back into the VCC supply. If the total system
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 electrostatic discharges encountered during handling and assembly. The
MAX6816–MAX6818 have extra protection against static
electricity. Maxim’s engineers have developed state-ofthe-art structures to protect 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–
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
following 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
www.maximintegrated.com

discharged into a low impedance. This model consists
of a 100pF capacitor charged to the ESD voltage of
interest, which is then discharged into the test device
through a 1.5kΩ resistor.
IEC 1000-4-2
The IEC 1000-4-2 standard covers ESD testing and
performance of finished equipment; it does not
specifically refer to integrated circuits. The MAX6816–
MAX6818 help you design equipment that meets
Level 4 (the highest level) of IEC 1000-4-2,
without the need for additional ESD-protection
components.

±15kV ESD-Protected, Single/Dual/Octal,

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 withstand 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 resistance. 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
reading 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.
