MAX31911AUI+

MAX31911AUI+ is an industrial, octal, digital input translator/serializer. The MAX31911 industrial interface serializer translates, conditions, and serializes the 24V digital output of sensors and switches used in industrial, process, and building automation to 5V CMOS-compatible signals required by microcontrollers. It provides the front-end interface circuit of a programmable logic controller (PLC) digital input module. The device features integrated current limiting, low-pass filtering, and channel serialization. Input current limiting allows a significant reduction in power consumed from the field voltage supply as compared to traditional discrete resistor-divider implementations. Selectable on-chip lowpass filters allow flexible debouncing and filtering of sensor outputs based on the application. Applications include digital input modules for PLCs, industrial, building, and process automation, and motor control.
