C Compatibility

The MAX4399 is compatible with existing I

2

C systems.

SCL and SDA are high-impedance inputs. SDA has an
open drain that pulls the data line low during the 9th
clock pulse.

Figure

C interface

application. The communication protocol supports the
standard I

2

C 8-bit communications. The general call

address is ignored, and CBUS formats are not supported.
The MAX4399 address is compatible with the 7-bit I

2

C

addressing protocol only. No 10-bit formats are support-
ed. RESTART protocol is supported, but an immediate
STOP condition is necessary to update the MAX4399.

Digital Inputs and Interface Logic

The I

2

C-compatible, 2-wire interface has logic levels

defined as V

OL

= 0.8V and V

OH

= 2.0V. All of the inputs

include Schmitt-trigger buffers to accept slow-transition
interfaces. The digital inputs are compatible with 3V
CMOS logic levels.

INTERRUPT_OUT Signal

INTERRUPT_OUT is an open-drain output that
becomes high impedance when a change in any of the
slow-switch signals occurs. Clear INTERRUPT_OUT by
setting bit 3 of register 04h low.
