2-Wire Interfaced Low-EMI
Key Switch Controller/GPO
General Description
The MAX7359 I²C interfaced peripheral provides micro-
processors with management of up to 64 key switches.
Key codes are generated for each press and release of
a key for easier implementation of multiple key entries.
Key inputs are monitored statically, not dynamically, to
ensure low-EMI operation. The switches can be metallic
or resistive (carbon) with up to 5kΩ of resistance.
The MAX7359 features autosleep and autowake to fur-
ther 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 MAX7359 to return to
normal operating mode from sleep upon a key press.
The key controller debounces and maintains a FIFO of
key-press and release events (including autorepeat, if
enabled). An interrupt (INT) output can be configured to
alert key presses either as they occur, or at maximum rate.
Any of the column drivers (COL2/PORT2–COL7/PORT7)
or the INT, if not used, can function as a general-pur-
pose output (GPO).
The MAX7359 is offered in small, 24-pin TQFN (3.5mm x
3.5mm) and 25-bump WLP (2.31mm x 2.31mm) pack-
ages for cell phones, pocket PCs, and other portable
consumer electronic applications. The MAX7359 oper-
ates over the -40°C to +85°C temperature range.
