Pin Description

Detailed Description

The MAX1608/MAX1609 convert 2-wire SMBus serial

data into eight latched parallel outputs (IO0–IO7). These

devices are intended for general-purpose remote I/O

expansion. Each device has eight high-voltage open-

drain outputs that double as TTL-level logic inputs.

Typical applications range from high-side MOSFET load-

switch drivers in power-management systems, to push-

button switch monitors, to general-purpose digital I/Os.

The MAX1608/MAX1609 include two complete sets of

registers, each consisting of one output data register to

set the output states and two interrupt mask registers.

The SMBSUS line selects which set of registers control

the device state. The input register is used to perform

readback of the actual IO states.

The MAX1608/MAX1609 operate from a single +2.7V

to +5.5V supply with a typical quiescent current of

2.5µA, making them ideal for portable applications.

Additionally, the devices include an ALERT function to

alert the master of change of condition (Figure 1).
