MAX7323
Any of the four open-drain ports can be configured as a
logic input by setting the port output logic-high (logic-
high for an open-drain output is high impedance).
When the MAX7323 is read through the serial interface,
the actual logic levels at the ports are read back.
The four ports offer latching transition detection func-
tionality. All input ports are continuously monitored for
changes. An input change sets 1 of 4 flag bits that
identify changed input(s). All flags are cleared upon a
subsequent read or write transaction to the MAX7323.
A latching interrupt output, INT, automatically flags data
changes on any of the I/O ports used as inputs. The
interrupt output INT, and all transition flags are
deasserted when the MAX7323 is next accessed
through the serial interface.
Internal pullup resistors to V+ are selected by the
address select inputs, AD0 and AD2. Pullups are
enabled on the input ports in groups of two (see Table 3).
Use the slave address selection to ensure that I/O ports
used as inputs are logic-high on power-up. I/O ports with
internal pullups enabled default to a logic-high output
state. I/O ports with internal pullups disabled default to
a logic-low output state. Output port power-up logic
states are selected by the address select inputs AD0
and AD2. Ports default to logic-high or logic-low on
power-up in groups of two (see Table 3).
Initial Power-Up
On power-up, the transition detection logic is reset, and
INT is deasserted. The interrupt mask register is set to
0x3C, enabling the interrupt output for transitions on all
four input ports. The transition flags are cleared to indi-
cate no data changes. The power-up default state of the
four push-pull outputs is set according to the I2C slave
address selection inputs, AD0 and AD2 (see Table 3).
Power-On Reset
The MAX7323 contains an integral power-on-reset
(POR) circuit that ensures all registers are reset to a
known state on power-up. When V+ rises above VPOR
(1.6V max), the POR circuit releases the registers and
2-wire interface for normal operation. When V+ drops to
less than VPOR, the MAX7323 resets all ports to the
POR defaults (see Table 3).
RST Input
The active-low RST input operates as a reset that voids
any current I2C transaction involving the MAX7323,
forcing the MAX7323 into the I2C STOP condition. The
reset action does not clear the interrupt output (INT).
Standby Mode
When the serial interface is idle, the MAX7323 automati-
cally enters standby mode, drawing minimal supply
current.
