MAX7360
I C-Interfaced Key-Switch Controller and LED
Driver/GPIOs with Integrated ESD Protection
General Description
Features
● Integrated ESD Protection
2
The MAX7360 I C-interfaced peripheral provides
microprocessors with management of up to 64 key
switches, with an additional eight LED drivers/GPIOs
that feature constant-current, PWM intensity control, and
rotary switch control options.
• ±8kV IEC 61000-4-2 Contact Discharge
• ±15kV IEC 61000-4-2 Air-Gap Discharge
● +14V Tolerant, Open-Drain I/O Ports Capable of
Constant-Current LED Drive
The key-switch drivers interface with metallic or resistive
switches with on-resistances up to 5kΩ. Key inputs are
monitored statically, not dynamically, to ensure low-
EMI operation. The MAX7360 features autosleep and
autowake modes to further minimize the power consumption
of the device. The autosleep feature puts the device in a
low-power state (1µA, typ) after a sleep timeout period.
The autowake feature configures the MAX7360 to return
to normal operating mode from sleep upon a keypress.
● Rotary Switch-Capable Input Pair (PORT6, PORT7)
● 256-Step PWM Individual LED Intensity Control
● Individual LED Blink Rates and Common LED
Fade In/Out Rates from 256ms to 4096ms
● FIFO Queues Up to 16 Debounced Key Events
● User-Configurable Key Debounce (9ms to 40ms)
● Keyscan Uses Static Matrix Monitoring for Low
EMI Operation
● +1.62V to +3.6V Operation
● Monitors Up to 64 Keys
The key controller debounces and maintains a FIFO of
keypress and release events (including autorepeat, if
enabled). An interrupt (INTK) output can be configured to
alert keypresses, as they occur, or at maximum rate.
● Key-Switch Interrupt (INTK) on Each Debounced
Event/FIFO Level, or End of Definable Time Period
● Port Interrupt (INTI) for Input Ports for Special-Key
There are eight open-drain I/O ports, which can be used
to drive LEDs. The maximum constant-current level for
each open-drain port is 20mA. The intensity of the LED
on each open-drain port can be individually adjusted
through a 256-step PWM control. An input port pair
(PORT6, PORT7) can be configured to accept 2-bit gray
code inputs from a rotary switch. In addition, if not used
for key-switch control, up to six column pins can be used
as general-purpose open-drain outputs (GPOs) for LED
drive or logic control.
