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 c ha ng e outp ut (CH) is up d a te d
simultaneously with the switch outputs.

The MAX6816/MAX6817/MAX6818 a re d e s ig ne d 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

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 undervoltage lockout circuitry ensures that the out-
puts are at the correct state on power-up. While the sup-
p ly volta g e is b e low the und e rvolta g e thre s hold
(typically 1.9V), the debounce circuitry remains trans-
parent. Switch states are present at the logic outputs
without delay.
