Maxim's MAX14827AATG+ integrates the high-voltage functions of drivers and regulators commonly found in industrial sensors. The MAX14827A features two ultra-low-power drivers with active reverse-polarity protection. Operation is specified for 24 V up to 60 V. Transient protection is simplified due to high voltage tolerance allowing the use of micro TVS.

This device features a flexible control interface. Pin control logic inputs allow for operation with switching sensors that do not use a microcontroller. For sensors that use a microcontroller, a serial peripheral interface (SPI) is available and allows extensive diagnostics. For IO-Link operation, a three-wire UART interface is provided, allowing interfacing to the microcontroller UART. Finally, a multiplexed UART/SPI option allows using one serial microcontroller interface for shared SPI and UART interfaces.

The device includes on-board 3.3 V and 5 V linear regulators for low-noise analog and logic supply rails.
