32-Channel Ground/Open or Supply/Open
Low Threshold Sensor with SPI Interface
August 2013
APPLICATION
· Avionics Discrete to Digital Sensing
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The HI-8436 is a 32-channel discrete-to-digital sensor
fabricated with Silicon-on-Insulator (SOI) technology
designed to interface with a Serial Peripheral Interface
(SPI).
PIN CONFIGURATIONS
Four banks of 8 sense inputs can be programmed as either
GND/Open or Supply/Open sensors. Supply/Open
sensing is also referred to as 28V/Open sensing.
All sense inputs are internally lightning protected to
DO160G, Section 22, Cat AZ, BZ and ZZ without external
components.

The sensing circuit window comparator thresholds are set
by programming the center threshold and hysteresis
registers to values from 0.4V to 5.2V. The digital values of
the sensed inputs can be read either one bank at a time or
all 4 banks with one command.
Each bank of sensors have a VWETn pin available for
optional application of a voltage higher than the logic
supply to provide wetting current to Ground side relay
contacts. If the Ground offset is small, then the wetting
source will automatically be provided from VLOGIC without
connecting VWETn.

Interface to the digital subsystem is simple CMOS logic
inputs and outputs. The logic pins are compatible with 3.3V
logic allowing direct connection to a wide range of
microcontrollers or FPGAs.
