MAXIM Manuals

The MAX3013 is an 8-channel level translator from Maxim that supports 100Mbps data transfer, with a working voltage range of +1.65V to +3.6V and a VL voltage range of +1.2V to (VCC-0.4V), making it ideal for data transfer between low-voltage ASICs/PLDs and higher voltage systems.

This datasheet describes the characteristics and usage of the MAX13000E-MAX13005E 6-channel level translator, including the working principle, working conditions, pin functions, electrical characteristics, and application examples.

The MAX13101E/MAX13102E/MAX13103E/MAX13108E 16-bit bidirectional CMOS logic-level translators provide the level shifting necessary to allow data transfer in multivoltage systems.

The MAX3394E/MAX3395E/MAX3396E bidirectional level translators are used for data transfer in a multivoltage system. They feature internal slew-rate enhancement circuitry with 10mA current-sink and 15mA current-source drivers to isolate capacitive loads from lower current drivers. The slew-rate enhancement enables fast data rates with larger pullup resistors and increased bus load capacitance in open-drain systems. The logic-high levels are set by externally applied voltages, VCC and VL. A logic-low signal on one I/O side appears as a logic-low signal on the opposite I/O side. Each I/O line is pulled up to VCC or VL by an internal pullup resistor, allowing the devices to be driven by push-pull or open-drain drivers. The MAX3394E/MAX3395E/MAX3396E have a tri-state output mode, thermal-shutdown protection, and ±15kV Human Body Model (HBM) ESD protection on the VCC side for external signal protection. They accept VCC voltages from +1.65V to +5.5V and VL voltages from +1.2V to VCC, making them suitable for data transfer between low voltage ASIC/PLDs and higher voltage systems. The MAX3394E/MAX3395E/MAX3396E operate at a guaranteed data rate of 6Mbps with push-pull drivers and 1Mbps with open-drain drivers. The MAX3394E is a dual-level translator available in 9-bump UCSP™ and 8-pin 3mm x 3mm TDFN packages. The MAX3395E is a quad-level translator.

The MAX13030E-MAX13035E 6-channel, bidirectional level translators provide the level shifting necessary for 100Mbps data transfer in multivoltage systems. The MAX13030E-MAX13035E are ideally suited for memory-card level translation, as well as generic level translation in systems with six channels. Externally applied voltages, VCC and VL, set the logic levels on either side of the device. Logic signals present on the VL side of the device appear as a higher voltage logic signal on the VCC side of the device and vice versa. The MAX13035E features a CLK_RET output that returns the same clock signal applied to the CLK_VL input. The MAX13030E-MAX13035E operate at full speed with external drivers that source as little as 4mA output current. Each I/O channel is pulled up to VCC or VL by an internal 30µA current source, allowing the MAX13030E-MAX13035E to be driven by either push-pull or open-drain drivers. The MAX13030E-MAX13034E feature an enable (EN) input that places the device into a low-power shutdown mode when driven low. The MAX13030E-MAX13035E features an automatic shutdown mode that disables the part when VCC is less than VL. The state of I/O VCC_ and I/O VL_ during shutdown is chosen by selecting the appropriate part version (see Ordering Information/Selector Guide). The MAX13030E-MAX13035E accept VCC voltages from +2.2V to +3.6V and VL voltages from +1.62V to +3.2V, making them ideal for data transfer between low-voltage ASIC/PLDs and higher voltage devices.

MAX3397E is a bidirectional level translator from Infineon. It can translate low voltage ASICs/PLDs logic signals to high voltage system logic signals or vice versa. MAX3397E supports 8Mbps data rate and can be used in cell phones, MP3 players, telecommunications equipment, POS systems, smart card readers and GPS.

The MAX13042E–MAX13045E 4-channel, bidirectional level translators provide the level shifting necessary for 100Mbps data transfer in multivoltage systems

The MAX13046E/MAX13047E are bidirectional level translators that provide data transfer in a multivoltage system. They feature bidirectional data translation and are ideal for data transfer between low-voltage ASICs/PLDs and higher voltage systems. Additionally, the MAX13046E/MAX13047E offer ESD protection and short-circuit protection.

The MAX13055E–MAX13058E are 8-channel, bidirectional level translators that provide the level shifting necessary for 100Mbps data transfer in multivoltage systems.

MAX14548E/MAX14548AE 16-channel bidirectional level translators (LLTs) provide the level shifting neces- sary for 100Mbps data transfer in multivoltage systems.

The MAX14591 is a dual-channel, bidirectional logic-level translator with the level shifting necessary to allow data transfer in a multivoltage system. It is optimized for the I2C bus and MDIO bus, providing high-speed, open-drain operation.

The MAX14595 is a low-power dual-channel logic-level translator designed specifically for low power consumption, making it suitable for portable and battery-powered equipment. The device is optimized for the I2C bus as well as the management data input/output (MDIO) bus where often high-speed, open-drain operation is required. When TS is high, the device allows the pullup to be connected to the I/O port that has the power. This allows continuous I2C operation on the powered side without any disruption while the level translation function is off. The part is specified over the extended -40NC to +85NC temperature range, and is available in 8-bump WLP and 8-pin TDFN packages.

The MAX14611 is a quad bidirectional logic-level translator that provides the level shifting necessary to allow data transfer in a multivoltage system. The device features a three-state output mode and enhanced electrostatic discharge protection.

The MAX13036 is an automotive contact monitor and level shifter that monitors and debounces eight remote mechanical switches, and asserts an interrupt (INT) if a switch changes state.
