8-Channel, I²C
switches/multiplexers with bus lockup detection
Maxim Integrated Products launched the MAX7356/MAX7357/MAX7358,
8-channel, I²C switches/multiplexers with bus lockup
detection, isolation, and notification. These devices enable
a master to isolate slaves that may otherwise have address
conflicts and to communicate with each of them individually.
The MAX7357 and MAX7358 employ an integrated timer to monitor
all extended buses for lockup conditions. Additionally,
these two parts can be set to send a "flush-out"
sequence on the faulty channel to clear the bus lockup condition.
The MAX7356/MAX7357/MAX7358 are ideal for servers, base
stations, data storage, and other applications in which
multiple I²C devices need to be addressed and controlled.
The device is fully specified over the -40°C to +85°C
extended temperature range.
Packaging: The MAX7356/MAX7357/MAX7358 are available in
24-pin TSSOP and TQFN packages.
Pricing: starts at $1.37 (1000-up, FOB USA).
