Automotive Contact Monitor
and Level Shifter
The first four inputs (IN0–IN3) are intended for ground-
connected switches. The remaining four inputs (IN4–IN7)
can be programmed in sets of two for either ground-con-
nected or battery-connected switches by writing to the
M0 and M1 bits (see Table 5). The default state after
power-up is IN2–IN7 configured for ground-connected
switches, and IN0/IN1 configured for direct inputs.
All switch inputs have internal 16kΩ sense resistors to
detect switch transitions. Inputs configured for ground-
connected switches are pulled up to BAT and inputs
configured for battery-connected switches are pulled
down to GND. Figure 3 shows the switch input structure
for IN0 and IN1. IN0 and IN1 can be programmed as
direct inputs with level-shifted outputs (DO0 and DO1)
by clearing the WEND bit in the command register (nor-
mal mode only). When programmed as direct inputs,
IN0 and IN1 can be used for PWM or other signaling.
Clearing the WEND bit disables the sense resistors and
wetting currents on IN0 and IN1. When programmed as
direct inputs, the status of IN0 and IN1 is not reflected
in the status register, and interrupts are not allowed on
these inputs.
Switch Threshold Levels and
Hysteresis (BATREF, HYST)
Input thresholds for the remote switches are 50% of the
voltage applied to BATREF. The BATREF input is typi-
cally connected to the battery voltage before the

reverse-battery protection diode. The MAX13036 fea-
tures adjustable hysteresis on the switch inputs by con-
necting an external 0 to 900kΩ resistor from HYST to
ground (normal mode only). Short HYST to ground to
obtain the maximum hysteresis of (0.5 x V_BATREF). The
approximate formula for hysteresis is given below:

To reduce power consumption, the adjustable hystere-
sis can be disabled by setting [SC2:SC1:SC0 = 1:1:0]
in the command register. When the adjustable hystere-
sis is disabled, the hysteresis is set to 0.166 x V_BATREF.
Switch Debounce and Deglitch
The switch inputs IN0–IN7 share a common program-
mable debounce timer to increase the noise immunity
of the system in normal and scan mode. The switch
debounce time is set by connecting a capacitor
between the t_DEB input and ground. The minimum
value of this capacitor is 500pF and the maximum value
is 10nF, corresponding to a debounce time of 5ms to
100ms respectively. To calculate other debounce times
the following formula should be used:
C(nF) = t_DEB(ms)/10
All switch input glitches of less than 20µs in duration
are automatically rejected by the MAX13036.
Debounce in Normal Mode
When a change of state occurs at the switch input the
debounce timer starts. If the new state is stable for at
least t_DEB, the status register is updated and an inter-
rupt is generated (if enabled). If the input returns to its
previous state before the debounce time has elapsed,
an interrupt is not generated and the status register is
not updated.
Debounce in Scan Mode
A change of state at the switch input causes the device
to automatically enter normal mode and the debounce
timing to start. The device remains in normal mode as
long as the input state differs from the previous state.
As soon as the debounce time ends, the status register
is updated, an interrupt is generated, and the device
re-enters scan mode.
If the input returns to its previous state before the end
of the debounce time, the device re-enters scan mode,
an interrupt is not generated, and the status register is
not updated.
