Hi,
I'm working on a design that will use mechanical switches in a motorcycle project. I'm considering using the MAX6800 series to address the EMI, ESD, swith contacts, etc in debouncing.
Has anyone used or have experience with the MAX6816/17/18 chips?
Thanks!
No but it looks really simple and straight forward to use. You shouldn't have any problem if you follow the
schematic on the datasheet.

Thanks. That was my take too. Appreciate the sanity check!
But if you are actually using a microcontroller such as an Arduino, it makes much more sense to do the debouncing in software on the microcontroller. That is the sort of thing that microcontrollers are for!

Agreed. However, sw denouncing can't handle EMI as well. I've tried about 3 different approaches without success (99.9% effective). HW is still needed. Nice thing is the MAX chip seems to solve both!
