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.
The MAX3013 is an 8‑channel level translator that enables 100 Mbps data transfer between low‑voltage ASIC/PLD logic and higher‑voltage systems. It operates with VCC from +1.65 V to +3.6 V and VL from +1.2 V to (VCC‑0.4 V), making it suitable for cell phones, portable POS systems, GPS, and other communication devices.
Key features include bidirectional level translation, an EN pin for tri‑state shutdown with only 0.1 µA supply current, and availability in 5 × 4 UCSP, 20‑pin TSSOP, and 20‑pin QFN packages. The datasheet provides detailed electrical and timing characteristics, pin descriptions, and package outlines.
