MAX13102E

The MAX13101E/MAX13102E/MAX13103E/MAX13108E 16-bit bidirectional CMOS logic-level translators provide the level shifting necessary to allow data transfer in multivoltage systems. These devices are inherently bidirectional due to their design and do not require the use of a direction input. Externally applied voltages, V_CC and V_L, set the logic levels on either side of the devices. Logic signals present on the V_L side of the device appear as a higher voltage logic signal on the V_CC side of the device, and vice-versa.

The MAX13101E/MAX13102E/MAX13103E feature an enable input (EN) that, when low, reduces the V_CC and V_L supply currents to less than 2µA. The MAX13108E features a multiplexing input (MULT) that selects one byte between the two, thus allowing multiplexing of the signals. The MAX13101E/MAX13102E/MAX13103E/MAX13108E have ±15kV ESD protection on the I/O V_CC side for greater protection in applications that route signals externally. Three different output configurations are available during shutdown, allowing the I/O on the V_CC side or the V_L side to be put in a high-impedance state or pulled to ground through an internal 6kΩ resistor.

The MAX13101E/MAX13102E/MAX13103E/MAX13108E accept V_CC voltages from +1.65V to +5.5V and V_L voltages from +1.2V to V_CC, making them ideal for data transfer between low-voltage ASICs/PLDs and higher voltage systems. The MAX13101E/MAX13102E/MAX13103E/MAX13108E are available in 36-bump WLP and 40-pin TQFN packages, and operate over the extended -40°C to +85°C temperature range.
