Maxim's Digital Input ICs Deliver 50% Smaller Footprint, 60% Lower Power and 6x Faster Throughput

Extended digital IO family addresses Industry 4.0 challenges

SAN JOSE, Calif., Nov. 6, 2018 — (PRNewswire) —  Designers of industrial equipment striving to meet the size, power and performance requirements of Industry 4.0 applications can now turn to an expanded family of digital input devices from Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. (NASDAQ: MXIM). One of the new devices, MAX22192, is integrated into the company's Go-IO programmable logic controller (PLC) reference design, also announced today.

Maxim's expanded family of digital input ICs enable designers of industrial equipment to meet the size, power and performance requirements of Industry 4.0 applications. The portfolio now offers the industry's smallest solution size, lowest power dissipation and most robust performance.

As manufacturing becomes increasingly automated, there is a stronger need for real-time decision-making and feedback-loop mechanisms. These intelligent Industry 4.0 systems require digital input ICs inside the PLCs to receive on/off status signals. Yet, for ease of integration throughout manufacturing environments, the devices must be robust, high-performing and compact.

Maxim's expanded portfolio of IEC61131-2-compliant digital input devices offers the industry's smallest solution size (by as much as 50%), features the lowest power dissipation (by as much as 60%), is up to 6x faster and has the most robust performance (integrating 1kV of surge protection and integrated diagnostics). In addition, the family also includes a parasitically powered digital input that reduces power dissipation by up to 60 percent and does not require a discrete isolated power supply.

The newest digital input devices include:

These products enhance a digital IO family that also includes the MAX14912 and MAX14913 octal high-speed, switch/push-pull driver with integrated surge protection, diagnostics and fast/safe demagnetization; the MAX14914 universal digital IO with surge protection, high-side switch/push-pull driver/digital input and an SPI interface; and the MAX14483 6-channel, high-density, high-speed, low-power digital isolator optimized for daisy chained SPI applications.
