MAX14838/MAX14839
24V Pin-Configurable Industrial Sensor
Output Drivers
General Description
The MAX14838/MAX14839 24V/100mA drivers are
optimized for use in industrial sensors. These devices
integrate all of the high-voltage (24V) circuitry commonly
found in industrial sensors, including a configurable PNP/
NPN/push-pull driver and an integrated linear regulator
that meets common sensor power requirements.
Benefits and Features
● High Configurability Simplifies Design
• Pin-Selectable High-Side (PNP), Low-Side (NPN),
or Push-Pull Driver
• Pin-Configurable NO/NC Logic
● Integrated Protection Provides Robust Sensor
Solutions
The MAX14838/MAX14839 are pin-configurable. Logic
inputs allow the driver to be configured for high-side
(PNP), low-side (NPN), or push-pull operation. An
additional input allows the user to select between normal-
ly-open and normally-closed logic.
• Reverse-Polarity Protection on DO, V , and GND
• 4.75V to 34V Supply Range (MAX14839)
• Driver is Short-Circuit Protected
CC
• FAULT Output for Fault Indication
• V
Hot Plug Protection
The MAX14838 features an onboard 5V linear regulator,
while the MAX14839 features a 3.3V linear regulator.
CC
• Thermal Shutdown Protection
• ±1kV/500Ω Surge Protection
Each device includes two LED drivers for visual feedback.
One LED driver reflects the output logic status and the
other is a general-purpose driver that can be used to
signal a fault condition.
• ±8kV IEC 61000-4-2 Air Gap ESD Protection
• ±6kV IEC 61000-4-2 Contact ESD Protection
• -40°C to +105°C Temperature Range
● Fast Turn-Off of Inductive Loads Up to 1.5H
The DO output, supply (V ), and ground (GND) pins are
CC
reverse polarity-protected and are protected against IEC
● Saves Space on Board
• Available in 12-Pin TDFN-EP (3mm x 3mm) or
12-Bump WLP (2.1mm x 1.6mm)
• Dual Integrated 2mA LED Drivers
ESD and surge events.
The MAX14838 and MAX14839 operate from a wide sup-
ply range and are available in a 12-pin TDFN-EP package
(3mm x 3mm) or a 12-bump wafer-level package (WLP)
(2.1mm x 1.6mm) and operate over the -40°C to +105°C
temperature range.
Applications
● Industry Binary Sensors
● Proximity Switches
● Capacitive and Inductive Sensors
