General Description
The MAX4820/MAX4821 8-channel relay drivers offer
built-in kickback protection and drive +3.3V/+5V nonlatching or dual-coil-latching relays. These devices are
especially useful when driving +3V relays. Each independent open-drain output features a 2Ω on-resistance
and is guaranteed to sink 70mA (min) of load current.
Both devices consume less than 50µA (max) quiescent
current and have 1µA output off-leakage current.
The MAX4820 features an SPI™-/QSPI™-/MICROWIRE™compatible serial interface. Input data is shifted into an 8bit shift register and latched to the outputs when CS
transitions from low to high. Each data bit in the shift register corresponds to a specific output, allowing independent control of all outputs.
The MAX4821 features a 4-bit (A0, A1, A2, LVL) parallel-input interface. The first three bits (A0, A1, A2) determine the output address, and the fourth bit (LVL)
determines whether the selected output is switched on
or off. Data is latched to the outputs when CS transitions from low to high.
Both devices feature separate set and reset functions
that allow the user to turn on or turn off all outputs simultaneously with a single control line. Built-in hysteresis
(Schmidt trigger) on all digital inputs allows this device
to be used with slow rising and falling signals, such as
those from optocouplers or RC power-up initialization
circuits. The MAX4820/MAX4821 are available in 20-pin
TSSOP and space-saving 20-pin thin QFN packages.

Digital Interface
Serial Interface (MAX4820)
The serial interface consists of an 8-bit shift register
and parallel latch controlled by SCLK and CS. The
input to the shift register is an 8-bit word. Each data bit
controls one of the eight outputs, with the most significant bit (D7) corresponding to OUT8 and the least significant bit (D0) corresponding to OUT1 (see Table 1).
When CS is low (device is selected), data at DIN is
clocked into the shift register synchronously with
SCLK’s rising edge. Driving CS from low to high latches
the data in the shift register to the parallel latch.
DOUT is the output of the shift register. Data appears
on DOUT synchronously with SCLK’s falling edge and
is identical to the data at DIN delayed by eight clock
cycles. When shifting the input data, D7 is the first bit in
and out of the shift register.
While CS is low, the switches always remain in their previous state. Drive CS high after 8 bits of data have been
shifted in to update the output state and inhibit further
data from entering the shift register. When CS is high,
transitions at DIN and SCLK have no effect on the output, and the first input bit (D7) is present at DOUT.
If the number of data bits entered while CS is low is
greater or less than 8, the shift register contains only
the last 8 data bits, regardless of when they were
entered.
The 3-wire serial interface is compatible with SPI, QSPI,
and MICROWIRE standards. The latch that drives the
analog switch is updated on the rising edge of CS,
regardless of SCLK’s state.
Parallel Interface (MAX4821)
The parallel interface consists of three address bits
(A0, A1, A2) and one level selector bit (LVL). The
address bits determine which output is updated, and
the level bit determines whether the addressed output
is switched on (LVL = high) or off (LVL = low). When CS
is high, the address and level bits have no effect on the
state of the outputs. Driving CS from low to high latches
the address and level data to the parallel register and
updates the state of the outputs. Address data entered
after CS is pulled low is not reflected in the state of the
outputs following the next low-to-high transition on CS
(Figure 2).

Functions
The MAX4820/MAX4821 feature set and reset inputs that
allow the user to simultaneously turn all outputs on or off
using a single control line. Drive SET low to set all latches and registers to 1 and turn all outputs on. SET over-
rides all serial/parallel control inputs. Drive RESET low to
clear all latches and registers and turn all outputs off.
RESET overrides all other inputs, including SET.
Applications Information
Daisy Chaining
The MAX4820 features a digital output, DOUT, that provides a simple way to daisy chain multiple devices. This
feature allows the user to drive large banks of relays
using only a single serial interface. To daisy chain multiple devices, connect all CS pins together, and connect
the DOUT of one device to the DIN of another device
(see Figure 3). During operation, a stream of serial data
is shifted through all the MAX4820s in series. When CS
goes high, all outputs update simultaneously.
The MAX4820 can also be used in a slave configuration
that allows the user to address individual devices.
Connect all the DIN pins together, and use the CS input
to address one device at a time. Drive CS low to select
a slave and input the data into the shift register. Drive
CS high to latch the data and turn on the appropriate
outputs. Typically, in this configuration only one slave is
addressed at a time.

Inductive Kickback Protection
The MAX4820/MAX4821 feature built-in inductive kickback protection to reduce the voltage spike on OUT_
generated by a relay’s coil inductance when the output
is suddenly switched off. Internal diodes connected
from each output to COM allow the inductor current to
flow back to the supply. Connect the common cathode
(COM) of the internal protection diodes to V
CC
.
COM also can be connected to a higher voltage than
V
CC
