Hardware Overview
How does it work?
DIGI IN Click is based on the MAX22199, an octal industrial digital input module from Analog Devices. The MAX22199 complies with the IEC 61131-2 standard for industrial digital input devices. It efficiently converts eight 7-24V current-sinking industrial inputs into a serialized output compatible with SPI, supporting both 3V and 5V logic systems. It can function as eight Type 1 / Type 3 digital inputs or four Type 2 digital inputs. The eight yellow LEDs, numbered 1 through 8, provide immediate visual feedback on the status of the digital input channels, whether active or not. This Click board™ is designed for various applications, including programmable logic controllers, distributed control systems, motor control applications, and building automation systems. To ensure reliability in the demanding conditions of industrial environments, the MAX22199 incorporates a customizable glitch filter for each input, with noise filters that can be
independently set to any of eight durations ranging from 50µs to 20ms or completely bypassed. A 4-pin SPI interface and an LTC latch input facilitate the device's connectivity, allowing synchronized data sampling across multiple devices. In addition, the MAX22199 is equipped with several diagnostic features, including protection against thermal overload, alarms for under voltage and missing voltage conditions on the 24V supply, and detection mechanisms for SPI and CRC communication errors. These errors can trigger an interrupt signal via the FLT pin. Besides these pins, the mikroBUS™ socket also includes a READY (RDY) pin, which signals when the MAX22199 is operational by transitioning to a LOW state. An additional feature of the board is the provision of SPI MODE jumpers, which offer control over the SPI Mode settings from 0 to 3. Adjusting the M1 jumper to position 1 activates the SPI daisy-chain
mode, whereas setting the M0 jumper to position 1 turns off the CRC error detection feature. The device is powered by a single 7V to 24V supply connected to the V24 terminal. It also includes an integrated LDO regulator that not only powers the MAX22199 but also provides a 3.3V output capable of delivering up to 25mA to external circuits. It should be noted that if this pin is used as a supply of the MAX22199, no power supply should be connected to the V24 terminal. This Click board™ can operate with either 3.3V or 5V logic voltage levels selected via the VCC SEL jumper. This way, both 3.3V and 5V capable MCUs can use the communication lines properly. Also, this Click board™ comes equipped with a library containing easy-to-use functions and an example code that can be used as a reference for further development.
Features overview
Development board
Nucleo 32 with STM32F031K6 MCU board provides an affordable and flexible platform for experimenting with STM32 microcontrollers in 32-pin packages.

Application Output
1. Application Output - In Debug mode, the 'Application Output' window enables real-time data monitoring, offering direct insight into execution results. Ensure proper data display by configuring the environment correctly using the provided tutorial.

2. UART Terminal - Use the UART Terminal to monitor data transmission via a USB to UART converter, allowing direct communication between the Click board™ and your development system. Configure the baud rate and other serial settings according to your project's requirements to ensure proper functionality. For step-by-step setup instructions, refer to the provided tutorial.

3. Plot Output - The Plot feature offers a powerful way to visualize real-time sensor data, enabling trend analysis, debugging, and comparison of multiple data points. To set it up correctly, follow the provided tutorial, which includes a step-by-step example of using the Plot feature to display Click board™ readings. To use the Plot feature in your code, use the function: plot(*insert_graph_name*, variable_name);. This is a general format, and it is up to the user to replace 'insert_graph_name' with the actual graph name and 'variable_name' with the parameter to be displayed.

* # Description
* This example demonstrates the use of DIGI IN Click board by reading and
* displaying the state of the channels.
*
* The demo application is composed of two sections :
*
* ## Application Init
* Initializes the driver, performs the Click default configuration.
*
* ## Application Task
* Reads and displays on the USB UART the channel state every second.
