Most engineers learn this dirty little secret soon after connecting a switch or a relay to a digital system. The MAX6816/ MAX6817/ MAX6818 integrates numerous functions into a single IC, thus eliminating numerousdiscrete components. These devices also provide overvoltage and ESD protection. These devices are applicable for applications with push-button panels, touch screen displays, and simple push-button devices. Maxim provides a simple solution to reduce the effects of switch ringing.
