MAX3000E/MAX3001E/MAX3002–MAX3012 8-Channel Logic Level Translators are ideal for data transfer between low-voltage and high-voltage systems. They can convert low-voltage signals to high-voltage signals, and vice versa.
The MAX3000E, MAX3001E, MAX3002 and MAX3012 are 8‑channel level translators that enable bidirectional or unidirectional voltage translation between low‑voltage ASICs/PLDs and higher‑voltage systems. They support a wide supply range, low‑power shutdown, and high ESD protection.
Key sections include general description, features, applications, ordering information, absolute maximum ratings, electrical and timing characteristics, typical operating curves, and package drawings. The document provides detailed specifications for voltage ranges, data rates, supply currents, ESD protection, and package options.

The MAX3000E operates at a guaranteed data rate of 230 kbps.
The VL side accepts voltages from +1.2 V to +5.5 V.
When EN is low, the device reduces supply current to less than 2 µA.
The devices provide +15 kV ESD protection on the I/O Vcc lines.
