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 MAX3397E is a bidirectional, ESD‑protected level translator that enables data transfer between low‑voltage ASICs/PLDs and higher‑voltage systems. It accepts VL from +1.2 V to +5.5 V and VCC from +1.65 V to +5.5 V, making it suitable for cell phones, MP3 players, POS systems, and other multivoltage applications.
Key features include a shutdown mode with sub‑picoampere current, thermal short‑circuit protection, +15 kV human‑body‑model ESD protection, and a guaranteed data rate of 8 Mbps (up to 16 Mbps under favorable conditions). The device is offered in an 8‑pin UDFN package and operates over –40 °C to +85 °C.
