Wired Remote Controllers
/MAX1042
General Description
Features
The MAX11041/MAX11042 wired remote controllers
convert up to six or 30 different pushbuttons into an I2C
register. Together with low-cost pushbutton switches
and 1% resistors, the MAX11041/MAX11042 are total
solutions over a single-wire interface. A wired remote
controller easily piggybacks to a standard 3.5mm
headphone jack using a fourth contact or one of the
audio signals.
♦ Detect Up to Six (MAX11042) or 30 (MAX11041)
Different Keys and Jack Insertion/Removal
♦ Work with Either 32Ω or 16Ω Headphones
♦ Add Remote-Control Functionality to Devices
Using a Simple Resistor and Switch Array
♦ Low-Power Operation Consuming a Supply
Current of Only 5µA (typ)
To conserve battery life, the MAX11041/MAX11042
consume only 5µA (typ) while reading keypresses in
real time without microprocessor (µP) polling. The
devices send the debounced keypress along with key
duration to the application processor over the I2C inter-
face. An 8-word FIFO buffer records up to four key-
press events to allow plenty of time for the application
processor to respond to the MAX11041/MAX11042.
♦ Work with Standard 2.5mm or 3.5mm 4-Pin
Headphone Jacks
♦ Support Hold Function to Lockout Keys
♦ 100kHz/400kHz I2C Interface
♦ Single 1.6V to 3.6V Supply Voltage Range
♦
15kV ESD Protection (IEC 61000-4-2)
The MAX11041/MAX11042 include 15kꢀ ꢁES protec-
tion devices on the FORCꢁ and EꢁNEꢁ inputs to ensure
IꢁC 61000-4-2 compliance without any external
ꢁES devices.
