I2C-Interfaced Key-Switch Controller and LED
Driver/GPIOs with Integrated ESD Protection
MAX7360
General Description
The MAX7360 I2C-interfaced peripheral provides micro-
processors with management of up to 64 key switches,
with an additional eight LED drivers/GPIOs that feature
constant-current, PWM intensity control, and rotary
switch control options.
The key-switch drivers interface with metallic or resis-
tive switches with on-resistances up to 5kI. Key inputs
are monitored statically, not dynamically, to ensure
low-EMI operation. The MAX7360 features autosleep
and autowake modes to further minimize the power
consumption of the device. The autosleep feature puts
the device in a low-power state (1FA typ) after a sleep
timeout period. The autowake feature configures the
MAX7360 to return to normal operating mode from sleep
upon a keypress.
The key controller debounces and maintains a FIFO of
keypress and release events (including autorepeat, if
enabled). An interrupt (INTK) output can be configured
to alert keypresses, as they occur, or at maximum rate.
There are eight open-drain I/O ports, which can be used
to drive LEDs. The maximum constant-current level for
each open-drain port is 20mA. The intensity of the LED
on each open-drain port can be individually adjusted
through a 256-step PWM control. An input port pair
(PORT6, PORT7) can be configured to accept 2-bit gray
code inputs from a rotary switch. In addition, if not used
for key-switch control, up to six column pins can be used
as general-purpose open-drain outputs (GPOs) for LED
drive or logic control.
The MAX7360 is offered in a 40-pin (5mm x 5mm)
thin QFN package with an exposed pad, and a small
36-bump wafer level package (WLP) for cell phones,
pocket PCs, and other portable consumer electronic
applications. The MAX7360 operates over the -40NC to
+85NC extended temperature range.

Functional Block Diagram
Detailed Description
The MAX7360 is a microprocessor peripheral low-noise
key-switch controller that monitors up to 64 key switches
with optional autorepeat, and key events that are pre-
sented in a 16-byte FIFO. The MAX7360 also features
eight open-drain GPIOs configured for digital I/O or
constant-current output for LED applications up to +14V.
The MAX7360 features an automatic sleep mode and
automatic wakeup that further reduce supply current
consumption. The MAX7360 can be configured to enter
sleep mode after a programmable time following a key
event. The FIFO content is maintained and can be read
in sleep mode. The MAX7360 does not enter autosleep
when a key is held down. The autowake feature takes
the MAX7360 out of sleep mode following a keypress
event. Enable/disable autosleep and autowake through
the configuration register (Table 8).
To prevent overloading the microprocessor with too
many interrupts, interrupt requests are issued on a
programmable number of FIFO entries, and/or after a
set period of time (Table 10). The key-switch status is
checked by reading the key-switch FIFO. A 1-byte read
access returns both the next key event in the FIFO (if
there is one) and the FIFO status. INTK functions as an
open-drain general-purpose output (GPO) capable of
driving an LED if key-switch interrupts are not required.
Up to six of the key-switch outputs function as open-
drain GPOs capable of driving additional LEDs when
the application requires fewer keys to be scanned. For
each key-switch output used as a GPO, the number of
monitored key switches reduces by eight.
Initial Power-Up
On power-up, all control registers are set to power-up
values and the MAX7360 is in sleep mode (Table 1).

Key-Scan Controller
Key inputs are scanned statically, not dynamically,
to ensure low-EMI operation. As inputs only toggle in
response to switch changes, the key matrix can be
routed closer to sensitive circuit nodes.
The key-scan controller debounces and maintains a FIFO
of keypress and release events (including autorepeated
keypresses, if autorepeat is enabled). Table 2 shows the
key-switch order. The user-programmable key-switch
debounce time, and autosleep timer, is derived from the
64kHz clock, which in turn is derived from the 128kHz
oscillator. Time delay for autorepeat and key-switch
interrupt is based on the key-switch debounce time.
Keys FIFO Register (0x00)
The keys FIFO register contains the information pertaining
to the status of the keys FIFO, as well as the key events
that have been debounced (see Table 7 in the Register
Tables section). Bits D0–D5 denote which of the 64 keys
have been debounced and the keys are numbered as in
Table 2.
D7 indicates if there is more data in the FIFO, except
when D5:D0 indicate key 63 or key 62. When D5:D0
indicate key 63 or key 62, the host should read one more
time to determine whether there is more data in the FIFO.
Use key 62 and key 63 for rarely used keys. D6 indicates
if it is a keypress or release event, except when D5:D0
indicate key 63 or key 62.
Reading the key-scan FIFO clears the interrupt INTK
depending on the setting of bit D5 in the configuration
register (0x01).
Configuration Register (0x01)
The configuration register controls the I2C bus timeout
feature, enables key-release detection, enables autowake,
and determines how INTK is deasserted. Write to bit D7
to put the MAX7360 into sleep mode or operating mode.
Autosleep and autowake, when enabled, also change the
status of D7 (see Table 8 in the Register Tables section).
Debounce Register (0x02)
The debounce register sets the time for each debounce
cycle, as well as setting whether the GPO ports are
enabled or disabled. Bits D0–D4 set the debounce time
in increments of 1ms starting at 9ms and ending at 40ms
(see Table 9 in the Register Tables section). Bits D5, D6,
and D7 set which of the GPO ports is enabled. Note the
GPO ports are enabled only in the combinations shown
in Table 9, from all disabled to all enabled.
Key-Switch Interrupt Register (0x03)
The interrupt register contains information related to the
settings of the interrupt request function, as well as the
status of the INTK output, which can also be configured
as a GPO. If bits D0–D7 are set to 0x00, the INTK output
is configured as a GPO that is controlled by bit D1 in the
port register. There are two types of interrupts, the FIFO-
based interrupt and time-based interrupt. Set bits D0–D4
to assert interrupts at the end of the selected number of
debounce cycles following a key event (see Table 10 in
the Register Tables section). This number ranges from
1–31 debounce cycles. Setting bits D7, D6, and D5 set
the FIFO-based interrupt when there are 2–14 key events
stored in the FIFO. Both interrupts can be configured
simultaneously and INTK asserts depending on which
condition is met first. INTK deasserts depending on the
status of bit D5 in the configuration register.
Ports Register (0x04)
The ports register sets the values of PORT2–PORT7 and
the INTK port, when configured, as open-drain GPOs.

MAX7360
______________________________________________________________________________________ 11
The settings in this register are ignored for ports not con-
figured as GPOs, and a read from this register returns
the values stored in the register (see Table 11 in the
Register Tables section).
Autorepeat Register (0x05)
The MAX7360 autorepeat feature notifies the host that at
least one key has been pressed for a continuous period.
The autorepeat register enables or disables this feature,
sets the time delay after the last key event before the key
repeat code (0x7E) is entered into the FIFO, and sets the
frequency at which the key-repeat code is entered into
the FIFO thereafter. Bit D7 specifies whether the auto-
repeat function is enabled with 0 denoting autorepeat
disabled, and 1 denoting autorepeat enabled. Bits D0–
D3 specify the autorepeat delay in terms of debounce
cycles ranging from 8–128 debounce cycles (see Table
12 in the Register Tables section). Bits D4, D5, and D6
specify the autorepeat rate or frequency ranging from
4–32 debounce cycles.
When autorepeat is enabled, holding the key pressed
results in a key-repeat event that is denoted by 0x7E. The
key being pressed does not show up again in the FIFO.
Only one autorepeat code is entered into the FIFO,
regardless of the number of keys pressed. The auto-
repeat code continues to be entered in the FIFO at the
frequency set by bits D[4:6] until another key event is
recorded. Following the key-release event, if any keys
are still pressed, the MAX7360 restarts the autorepeat
sequence.
Autosleep Register (0x06)
Autosleep puts the MAX7360 in sleep mode to draw
minimal current. When enabled, the MAX7360 enters
sleep mode if no keys are pressed for the autosleep time
(see Table 13 in the Register Tables section).
Key-Switch Sleep Mode
In sleep mode, the MAX7360 draws minimal current.
Switch-matrix current sources are turned off and pulled
up to VCC. When autosleep is enabled, key-switch
inactivity for a period longer than the autosleep time
puts the part into sleep mode (FIFO data is maintained).
Writing a 1 to D7 in the configuration register, or a key-
press, can take the MAX7360 out of sleep mode. Bit D7
in the configuration register gives the sleep-mode status
and can be read any time. The FIFO data is maintained
while in sleep mode.
Autowake
Keypresses initiate autowake and the MAX7360 goes
into operating mode. Keypresses that autowake the
MAX7360 are not lost. When a key is pressed while the
MAX7360 is in sleep mode, all analog circuitry, including
switch-matrix current sources, turn on in 2ms. The initial
key needs to be pressed for 2ms plus the debounce time
to be stored in the FIFO. Write a 0 to D1 in the configura-
tion register (0x01) to disable autowakeup.
GPIOs
The MAX7360 has eight GPIO ports with LED control
functions. The ports can be used as logic inputs, logic
outputs, or constant-current PWM LED drivers. In addi-
tion, PORT7 and PORT6 can function as a rotary switch
input pair. When in PWM mode, the ports are set up
to start their PWM cycle in 45N phase increments. This
prevents large current spikes on the LED supply voltage
when driving multiple LEDs.
GPIO Global Configuration Register (0x40)
The GPIO global configuration register controls the main
settings for the eight GPIOs (see Table 14 in the Register
Tables section).
Bit D7 enables PORT[7:6] as inputs for a rotary switch.
Bit D5 enables interrupt generation for I2C timeouts. D4
is the main enable/shutdown bit for the GPIOs. D3 func-
tions as a software reset for the GPIO registers (0x40 to
0x5F). Bits D[2:0] set the fade in/out time for the GPIOs
configured as constant-current sinks.
GPIO Control Register (0x41)
The GPIO control register configures each port as either
an input or an output (see Table 15 in the Register Tables
section). All GPIOs allow individual configurations, and
power up as inputs. Enabling rotary switch mode auto-
matically sets D7 and D6 as inputs. The ports consume
additional current if their inputs are left undriven.
GPIO Debounce Configuration Register (0x42)
The GPIO debounce configuration register sets the
amount of time a GPIO must be held for the MAX7360
to register a logic transition (see Table 16 in the Register
Tables section). The GPIO debounce setting is inde-
pendent of the key-switch debounce setting. Five bits
(D[4:0]) set 32 possible debounce times from 9ms up
to 40ms.

Driver/GPIOs with Integrated ESD Protection
MAX7360
12 _____________________________________________________________________________________
GPIO Constant-Current Setting Register (0x43)
The GPIO constant-current setting register sets the global
constant-current amount (see Table 17 in the Register
Tables section). Bits D1 and D0 set the global current
values from 5mA up to 20mA.
GPIO Output Mode Register (0x44)
The GPIO output mode register sets an output as either
a constant-current or non-constant-current output for
PORT[7:0] (see Table 18 in the Register Tables section).
Outputs are configured as constant-current outputs by
default to prevent accidental loading of an LED across
an unregulated output. The constant-current circuits
automatically turn off when not in use to reduce current
consumption.
Common PWM Register (0x45)
The common PWM register stores the common constant-
current output PWM duty cycle (see Table 19 in the
Register Tables section). The values stored in this register
translate over to a PWM duty cycle in the same manner
as the individual PWM registers (0x50 to 0x57). Ports can
use their own individual PWM value, or the common PWM
value. Write to this register to change the duty cycle of
several ports at once.
Rotary Switch Configuration Register (0x46)
The rotary switch configuration register stores rotary
switch settings for PORT7 and PORT6 (see Table 20 in
the Register Tables section). D7 determines whether
switch counts or a time delay will trigger an interrupt
if enabled. D[6:4] set the count or time amount to wait
before sending an interrupt. Bits D[3:0] set the debounce
cycle time for the rotary switch inputs. Debounce time
ranges from 0 to 15ms.
I2C Timeout Flag Register (0x48) (Read Only)
The I2C timeout flag register contains a single bit (D0),
which indicates if an I2C timeout has occurred (see Table
21 in the Register Tables section). Read this register to
clear an I2C timeout initiated interrupt.
GPIO Input Register (0x49) (Read Only)
The GPIO input register contains the input data for all of
the GPIOs (see Table 22 in the Register Tables section).
Ports configured as outputs are read as high. There is
one debounce period delay prior to detecting a transition
on the input port. This prevents a false interrupt from
occurring when changing a port from an output to an
input. The GPIO input register reports the state of all
input ports regardless of any interrupt mask settings.
Ports configured as an input have a 2FA internal pullup
to VCC for PORT[5:0] and a 10FA internal pullup to VCC
for PORT[7:6].
Rotary Switch Count Register (0x4A) (Read Only)
The MAX7360 keeps a count of the rotary switch rotations
in two’s compliment format (see Table 23 in the Register
Tables section). The register values wrap around as the
count value switches from a positive to a negative value
and back again. The count resets to zero after an I2C
read to this register.
PORT0–PORT7 Individual PWM Ratio Registers
(0x50 to 0x57)
Each port has an individual PWM ratio register (0x50 to
0x57, see Table 24 in the Register Tables section). Use
values 0x00 to 0xFE in these registers to configure the
number of cycles out of 256 the output sinks current
(LED is on), from 0 cycles to 254 cycles. Use 0xFF to
have an output continuously sink current (always on).
For applications requiring multiple ports to have the
same intensity, program a particular port’s configuration
register (0x58 to 0x5F) to use the common PWM register
(0x45). New PWM settings take place at the beginning of
a PWM cycle, to allow changes from common intensity to
individual intensity with no interruption in the PWM cycle.
PORT0–PORT7 Configuration Registers
(0x58 to 0x5F)
Registers 0x58 to 0x5F set individual configurations for
each port (see Table 25 in the Register Tables section).
Bits D7 and D6 determine the interrupt settings for the
inputs. Interrupts can assert upon detection of a logic
transition, a rising edge, or not at all. D5 sets the port’s
PWM setting to either the common or individual PWM
setting. Bits D[4:2] enable and set the ports’ individual
blink period from 0 to 4096ms. Bits D1 and D0 set a
port’s blink duty cycle.
Fading
Set the fade cycle time in the GPIO global configuration
register (0x40) to a non-zero value to enable fade in/out (see
Table 14 in the Register Tables section). Fade in increases
an LED’s PWM intensity in 16 even steps from zero to its
stored value. Fade out decreases an LED’s PWM intensity in
16 even steps from its current value to zero. Fading occurs
automatically in any of the following scenarios:
1) Change the common PWM register value from any
value to zero to cause all ports using the common
PWM register settings to fade out. No ports using
individual PWM settings are affected.
2) Change the common PWM register value to any
value from zero to cause all ports using the common
PWM register settings to fade in. No ports using indi-
vidual PWM settings are affected.
3) Put the part out of shutdown to cause all ports to fade
in. Changing an individual PWM intensity during fade

in automatically cancels that port’s fade and immedi-
ately output at its newly programmed intensity.
4) Put the part into shutdown to cause all ports to fade
out. Changing an individual PWM intensity during
fade out automatically cancels that port’s fade and
immediately turns off.
Blink
Each port has its own blink control settings through reg-
isters 0x58 to 0x5F (see Table 25 in the Register Tables
section). The blink period ranges from 0 (blink disabled)
to 4.096s. Settable blink duty cycles range from 6.25%
to 50%. All blink periods start at the same PWM cycle for
synchronized blinking between multiple ports.
GPIO Port Interrupts (INTI)
Three possible sources generate INTI: I2C timeout,
GPIOs configured as inputs, and the rotary switch
(registers 0x48, 0x49, and 0x4A). Read the respective
data/status registers for each type of interrupt to clear
INTI. Set register 0x46 for rotary switch-based interrupts.
Set registers 0x58 to 0x5F for individual GPI-based inter-
rupts. If multiple sources generate the interrupt, all the
related status registers must be read to clear INTI.
Rotary Switch
The MAX7360 can accept a 2-bit rotary switch inputs on
PORT6 and PORT7. Rotation of the switch in a clockwise
direction increments the count. Enable rotary switch
mode from the GPIO global configuration register (0x40).
Several settings for PORT6 and PORT7 occur during
rotary switch mode:
1) Each port has a 10FA pullup to VCC.
2) Register 0x46 sets the debounce time.
3) A debounced rising edge on PORT6 while PORT7 is
high decreases the count.
4) A debounced rising edge on PORT6 while PORT7 is
low increases the count.
For more details, see Figure 1.
Serial Interface
Figure 2 shows the 2-wire serial interface timing details.
Serial Addressing
The MAX7360 operates as a slave that sends and
receives data through an I2C-compatible 2-wire inter-
face. The interface uses a serial-data line (SDA) and
a serial-clock line (SCL) to achieve bidirectional com-
munication between master(s) and slave(s). A master
(typically a microcontroller) initiates all data transfers to
and from the MAX7360 and generates the SCL clock that
synchronizes the data transfer.
The MAX7360’s SDA line operates as both an input and
an open-drain output. A pullup resistor, typically 4.7kI,

is required on SDA. The MAX7360’s SCL line operates
only as an input. A pullup resistor is required on SCL if
there are multiple masters on the 2-wire interface, or if
the master in a single-master system has an open-drain
SCL output.
Each transmission consists of a START (S) condition
(Figure 3) sent by a master, followed by the MAX7360
7-bit slave address plus R/W bit, a register address byte,
one or more data bytes, and finally, a STOP (P) condition.
START and STOP Conditions
Both SCL and SDA remain high when the interface is not
busy. A master signals the beginning of a transmission
with a START condition by transitioning SDA from high
to low while SCL is high. When the master has finished
communicating with the slave, it issues a STOP condition
by transitioning SDA from low to high while SCL is high.
The bus is then free for another transmission.
Bit Transfer
One data bit is transferred during each clock pulse
(Figure 4). The data on SDA must remain stable while
SCL is high.
Acknowledge
The acknowledge bit is a clocked 9th bit (Figure 5), which
the recipient uses to handshake receipt of each byte of
data. Thus, each byte transferred effectively requires
9 bits. The master generates the 9th clock pulse, and
the recipient pulls down SDA during the acknowledge
clock pulse; therefore, the SDA line is stable low during
the high period of the clock pulse. When the master is
transmitting to the MAX7360, the MAX7360 generates
the acknowledge bit because the MAX7360 is the recipi-
ent. When the MAX7360 is transmitting to the master,
the master generates the acknowledge bit because the
master is the recipient.

Figure 6. Slave Address
Slave Addresses
The MAX7360 has a 7-bit long slave address (Figure
6). The bit following a 7-bit slave address is the R/W bit,
which is low for a write command and high for a read
command.
The first 4 bits (MSBs) of the MAX7360 slave address
are always 0111. Slave address bits A3, A2, and A1
correspond, by the matrix in Table 3, to the states of the
device address input AD0, and A0 corresponds to the
R/W bit. The AD0 input can be connected to any of four
signals (GND, VCC, SDA, or SCL), giving four possible
slave address pairs and allowing up to four MAX7360
devices to share the bus. Because SDA and SCL are
dynamic signals, care must be taken to ensure that AD0
transitions no sooner than the signals on SDA and SCL.
The MAX7360 monitors the bus continuously, waiting for a
START condition, followed by its slave address. When the
MAX7360 recognizes its slave address, it acknowledges
and is then ready for continued communication.
Bus Timeout
The MAX7360 features a 20ms minimum bus timeout
on the 2-wire serial interface, largely to prevent the
MAX7360 from holding the SDA I/O low during a read
transaction should the SCL lock up for any reason before
a serial transaction is completed. Bus timeout operates
by causing the MAX7360 to internally terminate a serial

transaction, either read or write, if SCL low exceeds
20ms. After a bus timeout, the MAX7360 waits for a valid
START condition before responding to a consecutive
transmission. This feature can be enabled or disabled
under user control by writing to the configuration register
(Table 8 in the Register Tables section).
Message Format for Writing
the Key-Scan Controller
A write to the MAX7360 comprises the transmission of the
slave address with the R/W bit set to zero, followed by at
least 1 byte of information. The first byte of information
is the command byte. The command byte determines
which register of the MAX7360 is to be written by the next
byte, if received. If a STOP condition is detected after the
command byte is received, the MAX7360 takes no further
action (Figure 7) beyond storing the command byte.
Any bytes received after the command byte are data bytes.
The first data byte goes into the internal register of the
MAX7360 selected by the command byte (Figure 8).
If multiple data bytes are transmitted before a STOP condi-
tion is detected, these bytes are generally stored in subse-
quent MAX7360 internal registers, because the command
byte address generally autoincrements (Table 4).
Message Format for Reading
the Key-Scan Controller
The MAX7360 is read using the internally stored com-
mand byte as an address pointer, the same way the
stored command byte is used as an address pointer
for a write. The pointer generally autoincrements after
each data byte is read using the same rules as for a
write (Table 4). Thus, a read is initiated by first config-
uring the MAX7360’s command byte by performing a
write (Figure 7). The master can now read n consecutive
bytes from the MAX7360, with the first data byte being
read from the register addressed by the initialized com-
mand byte. When performing read-after-write verifica-
tion, remember to reset the command byte’s address,
because the stored command byte address is generally
autoincremented after the write (Figure 9, Table 4).
Operation with Multiple Masters
When the MAX7360 is operated on a 2-wire interface
with multiple masters, a master reading the MAX7360
uses a repeated start between the write that sets the
MAX7360’s address pointer, and the read(s) that takes
the data from the location(s). This is because it is pos-
sible for master 2 to take over the bus after master 1 has
set up the MAX7360’s address pointer, but before mas-
ter 1 has read the data. If master 2 subsequently resets
the MAX7360’s address pointer, master 1’s read can be
from an unexpected location.
Command Address Autoincrementing
Address autoincrementing allows the MAX7360 to be
configured with fewer transmissions by minimizing the
number of times the command address needs to be
sent. The command address stored in the MAX7360
generally increments after each data byte is written or
read (Table 4). Autoincrement only works when doing a
multiburst read or write.
Applications Information
Reset from I2C
After a catastrophic event such as ESD discharge or
microcontroller reset, use bit D7 of the configuration
register (0x01) as a software reset for the key-switch
state (the key-switch register values and FIFO remain
unaffected). Use bit D4 of the GPIO global configura-
tion register (0x40) as a software reset for the GPIOs.

Figure 10. Ghost-Key Phenomenon Figure 11. Valid Three-Key Combinations
Ghost-Key Elimination
Ghost keys are a phenomenon inherent with key-switch
matrices. When three switches located at the corners
of a matrix rectangle are pressed simultaneously, the
switch that is located at the last corner of the rectangle
(the ghost key) also appears to be pressed. This occurs
because the potentials at the two sides of the ghost-key
switch are identical due to the other three connections—
the switch is electrically shorted by the combination of
the other three switches (Figure 10). Because the key
appears to be pressed electrically, it is impossible to
detect which of the four keys is the ghost key.
The MAX7360 employs a proprietary scheme that detects
any three-key combination that generates a fourth ghost
key, and does not report the third key that causes a
ghost-key event. This means that although ghost keys
are never reported, many combinations of three keys
are effectively ignored when pressed at the same time.
Applications requiring three-key combinations (such
as <Ctrl><Alt><Del>) must ensure that the three keys
are not wired in positions that define the vertices of a
rectangle (Figure 11). There is no limit on the number of
keys that can be pressed simultaneously as long as the
keys do not generate ghost-key events and FIFO is not full.
Low-EMI Operation
The MAX7360 uses two techniques to minimize EMI
radiating from the key-switch wiring. First, the voltage
across the switch matrix never exceeds +0.55V if not
in sleep mode, independent of supply voltage VCC.
This reduces the voltage swing at any node when a
switch is pressed to +0.55V maximum. Second, the keys
are not dynamically scanned, which would cause the
key-switch wiring to continuously radiate interference.
Instead, the keys are monitored for current draw (only
occurs when pressed), and debounce circuitry only
operates when one or more keys are actually pressed.
Switch On-Resistance
The MAX7360 is designed to be insensitive to resistance,
either in the key switches, or the switch routing to and
from the appropriate COL_ and ROW_ up to 4kI (max).
These controllers are therefore compatible with low-cost
membrane and conductive carbon switches.
Hot Insertion
The INTI, INTK, SCL, and AD0 inputs and SDA remain
high impedance with up to +3.6V asserted on them
when the MAX7360 powers down (VCC = 0). I/O ports
(PORT0–PORT7) remain high impedance with up to
+14V asserted on them when not powered. Use the
MAX7360 in hot-swap applications.
Staggered PWM
The LED’s on-time in each PWM cycle are phase
delayed 45N into eight evenly spaced start positions.
Optimize phasing when using fewer than eight ports as
constant-current outputs by allocating the ports with the
most appropriate start positions. For example, if using
four constant-current outputs, choose PORT0, PORT2,
PORT4, and PORT6 because their PWM start positions
are evenly spaced. In general, choose the ports that
spread the PWM start positions as evenly as possible.
This optimally spreads out the current demand from the
ports’ load supply.
INTK/INTI
There are two interrupt outputs, INTK and INTI. Each
interrupt operates independently from the other. See
the Key-Switch Interrupt Register (0x03) and the GPIO
Port Interrupts (INTI) sections for additional information
regarding these two interrupts.
Power-Supply Considerations
The MAX7360 operates with a +1.62V to +3.6V power-
supply voltage. Bypass the power supply to GND with a
0.1FF or higher ceramic capacitor as close as possible
to the device.

ESD Protection
All of the MAX7360 pins meet the 2kV Human Body
Model ESD tolerances. Key-switch inputs and GPIOs
meet IEC 61000-4-2 ESD protection. The IEC test
stresses consist of 10 consecutive ESD discharges per

The key number indicated by D5:D0 is a key
event. D7 is always for a key press of key 62
and key 63. When D7 is 0, the key read is the
last data in the FIFO. When D7 is 1, there is
more data in the FIFO. When D6 is 1, key data
read from FIFO is a key release. When D6 is 0,
key data read from FIFO is a key press.
