MULTIPLE SWITCH DETECTION INTERFACE
The 33978 is designed to detect the closing and opening of up to 22 switch
contacts. The switch status, either open or closed, is transferred to the
microprocessor unit (MCU) through a serial peripheral interface (SPI). This
SMARTMOS device also features a 24-to-1 analog multiplexer for reading the
input channels as analog inputs. The analog selected input signal is buffered and
provided on the AMUX output pin for the MCU to read.
Independent programmable wetting currents are available as needed for the
application. A battery and temperature monitor are included in the IC and
available via the AMUX pin.

The 33978 device has two modes of operation, Normal and Low-power mode
(LPM). Normal mode allows programming of the device and supplies switch
contacts with pull-up or pull-down current as it monitors the change of state on
the switches. The LPM provides low quiescent current, which makes the 33978
ideal for automotive and industrial products requiring low sleep-state currents.

Notes
1. The IC is functional from 4.5 V < VBATP < 6.0 V, but with degraded parametric values. The parameters may not meet the minimum and maximum
specifications when VBATP drops below 6.0 V.
