The MAX6816 are single 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 are offered in SOT packages and require no external components. Their low supply current makes them ideal for use in portable equipment.
