General Description
The MAX4820/MAX4821 8-channel relay drivers offer
built-in kickback protection and drive +3.3V/+5V non-
latching or dual-coil-latching relays. These devices are
especially useful when driving +3V relays. Each inde-
pendent open-drain output features a 2 on-resistance
and is guaranteed to sink 70mA (min) of load current.
Both devices consume less than 50µA (max) quiescent
current and have 1µA output off-leakage current.
The MAX4820 features an SPI™-/QSPI™-/MICROWIRE™-
compatible serial interface. Input data is shifted into an 8-
bit shift register and latched to the outputs when CS
transitions from low to high. Each data bit in the shift reg-
ister corresponds to a specific output, allowing indepen-
dent control of all outputs.
The MAX4821 features a 4-bit (A0, A1, A2, LVL) paral-
lel-input interface. The first three bits (A0, A1, A2) deter-
mine the output address, and the fourth bit (LVL)
determines whether the selected output is switched on
or off. Data is latched to the outputs when CS transi-
tions from low to high.
Both devices feature separate set and reset functions
that allow the user to turn on or turn off all outputs simul-
taneously with a single control line. Built-in hysteresis
(Schmidt trigger) on all digital inputs allows this device
to be used with slow rising and falling signals, such as
those from optocouplers or RC power-up initialization
circuits. The MAX4820/MAX4821 are available in 20-pin
TSSOP and space-saving 20-pin thin QFN packages.
