Maxim MAX3394E/MAX3395E/MAX3396E Datasheet
The MAX3394E, MAX3395E and MAX3396E are bidirectional level‑translator devices that provide voltage translation between low‑voltage ASIC/PLD logic and higher‑voltage systems. They feature internal slew‑rate enhancement, 10 mA sink and 15 mA source drivers, tri‑state output, thermal‑shutdown protection and +15 kV HBM ESD protection on the VCC side.
These translators operate over a –40 °C to +85 °C temperature range, accept VCC from +1.65 V to +5.5 V and VL from +1.2 V to VCC, and support up to 6 Mbps with push‑pull drivers or 1 Mbps with open‑drain drivers. They are offered in multiple packages, including 8‑pin TDFN, 9‑bump UCSP, 12‑pin TQFN and 20‑pin TQFN.
