Push Button Click designed for ON/OFF control and battery freshness management through a pushbutton interface

Enable reliable pushbutton operation with debounce, latch, and interrupt functions for clean power management using the MAX16169

 

Push Button Click is a compact add-on board designed to provide reliable ON/OFF control and battery freshness management through a pushbutton interface. It is based on the MAX16169, a nanoPower pushbutton ON/OFF controller from Analog Devices.

 

KEY FEATURES:
 

  • nanoPower Pushbutton Controller: Based on the MAX16169, ensuring ultra-low supply current of less than for minimal battery drain
  • Integrated Debounce and Latch: Accepts a noisy input from a mechanical switch and delivers a clean, latched output (eliminating switch bounce issues)
  • High Output Drive: The latched output can source up to 200mA allowing it to directly drive a load or a power-path switch
  • External Reset: Includes an asynchronous CLR pin for external reset of the output state
  • Visual Feedback: A green LED provides visual feedback when the load is active (the device is ON)

 

APPLICATIONS:
 

  • Ideal for portable medical devices, handheld electronics, and IoT nodes where simple, user-controlled power management is required
  • Suitable for industrial systems and other embedded applications that need power ON/OFF control with minimal quiescent current draw
  • Used in systems that require the battery to remain fresh by minimizing power consumption in the OFF state

ABOUT CLICK BOARDS™

Click boards™ follow a modular prototyping add-on board standard invented by MIKROE, which revolutionizes the way users add new functionalities to development boards. Click boards™ enable design engineers to change peripherals easily, cutting months off development time. To enable hundreds of Click board to be connected to the microcontroller or microprocessor, we have invented the socket standard - mikroBUS™. This uniform connection interface allows you to connect any Click board to a main board instantly. The company releases a new Click board nearly every day at 10am, and many leading microcontroller companies including Microchip, NXP, Infineon, Dialog, STM, Analog Devices, Renesas, and Toshiba now include the mikroBUS™ socket on their development boards.

ABOUT MIKROE

MIKROE is committed to changing the embedded electronics industry through the use of time-saving industry-standard hardware and software solutions. With unique concepts like Remote Access, One New Product/Day, Multi-Architectural IDE and most recently, the EmbeddedWiki™ platform with more than million ready-for-use projects, MIKROE combines its dev boards, compilers, smart displays, programmers/debuggers and 1850+ Click peripheral boards to dramatically cut development time. mikroBUS™; mikroSDK™; SiBRAIN™ and DISCON™ are open standards and mikroBUS only has been adopted by over 100 leading microcontroller companies and integrated on their development boards.
