MAX13037ATX+

Specialized Overview

The MAX13037ATX+ is an automotive contact monitor and level shifter featuring an integrated low-dropout (LDO) regulator. It monitors and debounces eight remote mechanical switches, asserting an interrupt signal upon state changes. The device samples switch states via a serial peripheral interface (SPI). Inputs IN0–IN3 are designed for ground-connected switches, while IN4–IN7 are programmable in pairs for either ground or battery connections. Two inputs provide direct level-shifted outputs suitable for PWM applications. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +125°C and utilizes a TQFN-36 package.
