MAX14906ATM+

Specialized Overview

The MAX14906ATM+ is a four-channel industrial digital output and digital input device compliant with IEC 61131-2. It supports per-channel configuration as high-side switches, push-pull drivers, or Type 1/3 and Type 2 digital inputs. The supply voltage operates from 10V to 40V with 65V tolerance. High-side current limiting is adjustable from 130mA to 1.2A, featuring a 2x inrush option. The typical on-resistance is 120mΩ at 25°C. Digital input sinks are 2.3mA for Type 1/3 and 7mA for Type 2. It includes an addressable SPI interface, integrated diagnostics, and LED drivers.
