Product details
Overview
MAX6816EUS+ from Maxim Integrated is a single-channel CMOS mechanical switch debouncer IC that provides clean digital output after a fixed 20–80ms qualification delay, operates from +2.7V to +5.5V, draws only 6µA supply current, and features ±25V input fault tolerance with ±15kV HBM ESD protection - used for reliable µP interface in portable and industrial instruments.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6816EUS+ datasheet, MAX6816EUS+ pinout, MAX6816EUS+ application, or MAX6816EUS+ equivalent, key selection criteria include debounce timing stability over temperature, input overvoltage robustness, undervoltage lockout behavior at power-up, and SOT143 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The MAX6816EUS+ implements a synchronous debounce algorithm using an on-chip oscillator, counter, and D flip-flop: input state must remain stable for ≥4 sampling periods before output updates. Its undervoltage-lockout circuit holds outputs in known logic states during VCC ramp-up below ~2.25V (typical), preventing spurious transitions at power-on.
Input pins integrate 63kΩ (typical) internal pullups and clamping diodes enabling ±25V fault tolerance relative to GND. All inputs are protected to ±15kV per Human Body Model and ±15kV per IEC 1000-4-2 air-gap discharge - verified across -40°C to +125°C operating range without latchup or functional degradation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Operating Voltage Range | +2.7V to +5.5V - supports direct interface with 3.3V and 5V logic systems without level-shifting. |
| Supply Current (ICC) | 6µA (typ) at VCC = 5V - enables multi-year battery life in portable instrumentation. |
| Debounce Duration (tDP) | 20–80ms - programmable via internal RC timing; removes both opening and closing bounce reliably. |
| Input Voltage Range | -25V to +25V - withstands industrial transients and miswiring without external protection components. |
| ESD Protection | ±15kV HBM, ±15kV IEC 1000-4-2 air-gap - eliminates need for discrete TVS diodes in harsh environments. |
| Undervoltage Lockout Threshold | 1.9V to 2.6V - ensures defined output state during brown-out or cold-start conditions. |
| Input Threshold (VIL/VIH) | 0.8V / 2.0–2.4V - compatible with TTL and CMOS logic families across full VCC range. |
Pinout & Package
The MAX6816EUS+ is housed in a 4-pin SOT143 package (top mark: KABA), with exposed pad not connected internally. Pin assignments are validated per Maxim's official pin configuration diagram and datasheet revision 8.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (GND) | Ground reference | Return path for all internal circuitry and ESD protection networks; must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane. |
| 2 (IN) | Switch input | Accepts bouncing mechanical switch signal; includes 63kΩ pullup and ±25V fault-tolerant clamping diodes. |
| 3 (OUT) | Debounced CMOS output | Active-high, rail-to-rail output synchronized to stable input state; drives standard CMOS loads directly. |
| 4 (VCC) | Positive supply | +2.7V to +5.5V supply input; powers internal oscillator, logic, and ESD structures; requires local 0.1µF decoupling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No external components required | Integrated oscillator, counter, and D flip-flop eliminate need for RC networks or microcontroller firmware debounce routines. |
| ±25V input fault tolerance | Clamping diodes and robust BiCMOS process allow direct connection to switches in electrically noisy industrial settings. |
| 6µA ultra-low supply current | Enables use in always-on battery-powered devices such as handheld test equipment and remote sensors. |
| Undervoltage lockout (UVLO) | Prevents metastable output states during power ramp-up by holding OUT in valid logic level until VCC exceeds threshold. |
| ±15kV HBM ESD protection | Eliminates field failures due to handling ESD in assembly and end-use environments without adding external protection. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar switch debouncing applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6816EUS-T | Same die, leaded SOT143 package (RoHS non-compliant); identical electrical specs and timing. | No difference in function or performance; differs only in Pb content and compliance status. | Select MAX6816EUS+ for RoHS-compliant production; MAX6816EUS-T only if legacy Pb-based assembly is mandated. |
| MC33164DR2G | Single-channel comparator-based debouncer with 50ms fixed delay; lacks ±25V input tolerance and has higher 15µA ICC. | Requires external pullup and lacks integrated ESD protection - needs additional TVS and layout care. | Choose only if cost sensitivity outweighs robustness requirements; not suitable for industrial or portable battery designs. |
Compared with MAX6816EUS-T, the MAX6816EUS+ offers identical performance with RoHS compliance; compared with MC33164DR2G, it delivers superior fault tolerance, lower power, and true single-component integration - critical for high-reliability and space-constrained applications.

FAQ
What is the debounce delay of the MAX6816EUS+ and how does it vary with temperature?
The MAX6816EUS+ has a nominal debounce delay of 40ms (typical), with guaranteed range of 20–80ms across -40°C to +125°C. This variation is intentional and designed to ensure reliable bounce removal under worst-case mechanical switch conditions; actual delay shifts predictably with temperature per Figure MAX6816 toc06 in the datasheet.
Can the MAX6816EUS+ operate with a 3.3V supply and still meet its input threshold specifications?
Yes - the MAX6816EUS+ supports VCC from +2.7V to +5.5V. At VCC = 3.3V, VIH is guaranteed ≥2.0V and VIL ≤0.8V, ensuring compatibility with standard 3.3V CMOS logic families without level translation.
Does the MAX6816EUS+ require an external bypass capacitor, and if so, what value is recommended?
Yes - a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor placed between VCC and GND, as close as possible to the MAX6816EUS+ pins, is required to stabilize the internal oscillator and suppress supply noise. This is explicitly specified in the Typical Operating Circuit and Absolute Maximum Ratings section.
How does the undervoltage lockout (UVLO) function affect the output state of the MAX6816EUS+ during power-up?
When VCC rises below the UVLO threshold (~2.25V typ), the MAX6816EUS+ passes the IN signal directly to OUT without debouncing - ensuring predictable logic levels at startup. Once VCC exceeds the threshold, normal debounce operation resumes immediately.
Is the MAX6816EUS+ pin-compatible with other devices in the MAX6816/MAX6817/MAX6818 family?
No - the MAX6816EUS+ uses a 4-pin SOT143 package, while MAX6817 variants use 6-pin SOT23 and MAX6818 uses 20-pin SSOP. Pin count, pinout, and functionality differ significantly; they are functionally related but not physically interchangeable.
