Analog Devices MAX3013 Product Info

• 100Mbps Guaranteed Data Rate
• Bidirectional Level Translation
• V_L Operation Down to +1.2V
• Ultra-Low 0.1µA Supply Current in Shutdown
• Low-Quiescent Current (0.1µA)
• UCSP, QFN, and TSSOP Packages

The MAX3013 8-channel level translator provides the level shifting necessary to allow 100Mbps data transfer in a multivoltage system. Externally applied voltages, V_CC and V_L, set the logic levels on either side of the device. Logic signals present on the V_L side of the device appear as a higher voltage logic signal on the V_CC side of the device, and vice-versa.

The MAX3013 features an EN input that, when at logic low, places all inputs/outputs on both sides in tristate and reduces the V_CC and V_L supply currents to 0.1µA. This device operates at a guaranteed data rate of 100Mbps for V_L > 1.8V.

The MAX3013 accepts a V_CC voltage from +1.65V to +3.6V and a V_L voltage from +1.2V to (V_CC - 0.4V), making it ideal for data transfer between low-voltage ASICs/PLDs and higher voltage systems. The MAX3013 is available in 5 x 4 UCSP™, 20-pin 5mm x 5mm QFN, and 20-pin TSSOP packages.
