Reading from the MAX7357/MAX7358
in Basic Mode
A read from the MAX7357 or MAX7358 in basic mode
starts with the master transmitting the slave address
with the R/W bit set high. The device acknowledges the
slave address. The master can read 1 byte from the
switch control register and then issue a STOP condition
(Figure 19). If the master reads more than one byte, the
master upon reception acknowledges each byte. All
bytes return the contents of the switch control register.
Applications Information
Voltage Level Translation
The pass gates of the MAX7356/MAX7357/MAX7358
are designed so V
DD
can be used to limit the voltage
levels transferred from one bus to another. The power-
supply voltage of the part should be selected to be no
larger than one VGS
ON
(0.7V, typ) above the lowest
bus voltage in the system. This ensures that the analog
switches do not allow current to flow from higher volt-
age buses to lower voltage buses.
