Industrial Digital I/O Interface ICs
Make your digital IO interface simpler but stronger
Maxim Integrated industrial digital I/O ICs (also called binary signals) perform voltage level translation while providing circuit protection. Many also perform data serialization to allow economical operation through digital signal isolators.
Digital input and output ICs typically range in magnitude from 0 to 24V. Digital I/O signals are used by industrial automation and control equipment, operating in harsh and noisy environments, to communicate on/off status between remote devices and controllers.

Quad-Channel Industrial Digital Output, Digital Input
FEATURED PRODUCT: MAX14906
The Maxim Integrated MAX14906 is a high-speed, four-channel industrial digital output, digital input device that can be configured on a per-channel basis as a high-side (HS) switch, push-pull (PP) driver, or a Type 1 and 3, or Type 2 digital input. IEC 61131-2 compliant, the MAX14906 is specified for operation with a supply voltage up to 40V and is tolerant to 65V.
The MAX14906 has a high-side switch current limiting that is settable from 130mA to 1.2A with the option of 2x load inrush current. The high-side driver on-resistance is 120mΩ (typ) at 25°C ambient temperature. Optional push-pull operation allows high speed driving of cables and fast discharge of load capacitance. For digital input operation, current sinks for 2.3mA (Type 1 and 3) or 7mA (Type 2) are provided. The MAX14906 is available in a compact 48-pin 7mm x 7mm QFN package.
