LogiSwitch LS18-P is a three-channel mechanical-switch debouncer in an 8-pin, 300 mil through-hole PDIP package. It provides normally high, active-low outputs for normally open switch inputs.
The exact ordering code, LS18-P, and its pin assignments are documented in the LogiSwitch LS10-series technical details. Check the current manufacturer documentation before final circuit qualification.
LS18-P conditions three independent normally open mechanical-switch signals. Each channel includes an internal pull-up at the switch input and a normally high output that changes to active low after the device rejects contact bounce. The switch common connects to the ground reference. This reduces discrete debounce circuitry in control panels, operator interfaces and embedded equipment.
One 8-pin IC conditions three switch inputs and provides three corresponding outputs.
Integrated input pull-ups support a normally open switch between an input and the ground reference.
Manufacturer-described NoBounce logic rejects brief noise spikes and contact bounce.
The 300 mil PDIP form factor suits socketed prototypes and through-hole circuit boards.
Manufacturer pin description specifies VDD from 2.3 V to 5.5 V relative to VSS.
Outputs are normally high and become active low with their associated inputs.
LogiSwitch describes a low-impedance, 25 mA totem-pole output per channel; check load limits in the latest datasheet.
Noise spikes shorter than 20 ms are described as insufficient to start or end a cycle.
The LS18-P uses an 8-pin plastic dual-inline package approximately 300 mil (7.62 mm) wide. The customer package registry identifies this outline as 8-DIP.

The expected package image is registered but is not yet present locally; the image must be supplied and checked before publication.

Functional descriptions are not guaranteed electrical test limits. Confirm absolute limits, loading and timing against the current controlled datasheet for the end application.
LS18-S is the same manufacturer's three-channel LS18 function in an 8-SOIC surface-mount package, not a footprint-compatible substitution for LS18-P. Compare the package, board assembly, supply range and output loading before changing order codes. LS100-series handshake variants add different interface behavior and should not be assumed pin- or function-equivalent.
LogiSwitch identifies LS18-P as the PDIP member of its LS10 NoBounce switch-debouncer family. The corresponding LS18-S ordering code is the SOIC version. Use the exact ordering suffix when checking package and procurement records.
Condition normally open pushbuttons before a digital controller input.
Reduce false transitions in panel-mounted switch interfaces.
Use a socketable PDIP device when evaluating three switch channels.
Provide stable active-low switch indications in low-voltage control circuits.
Match the LS18-P top marking, manufacturer identity and 8-pin PDIP package to procurement documents. Inspect pin condition and storage history before assembly. Confirm the intended supply and switch wiring during incoming inspection.
Three independent normally open switch inputs, SW0 through SW2, are provided.
No. LS18-S has the same family function but uses an 8-SOIC surface-mount package rather than the LS18-P through-hole PDIP.
The associated normally high output goes active low after the device's debounce interval.
This detail is a selection aid, not a substitute for the latest LogiSwitch controlled documentation. Validate pin orientation, supply limits, timing, output loading and the complete switch circuit before production. The package JPG is pending and must be verified before this product is published.
