Level Translator 20-Pin TSSOP

The MAX3000 8-channel level translators provide the level shifting necessary to allow data transfer in a multivoltage system. Externally applied voltages, VCC and VL, set the logic levels on either side of the device. Logic signals present on the VL side of the device appear as a higher voltage logic signal on the VCC side of the device, and vice-versa. The MAX3000 use an architecture specifically designed to be bidirectional without the use of a directional pin. The MAX3000 feature an EN input that, when low, reduces the VCC and VL supply currents to < 2µA. The MAX3000 also have ±15kV ESD protection on the I/O VCC side for greater protection in applications that route signals externally. The MAX3000 operates at a guaranteed data rate of 230kbps. The MAX3000 operates at a guaranteed data rate of 4Mbps. The MAX3000 operate at a guaranteed data rate of 20Mbps over the entire specified operating voltage range. The MAX3000 accept VL voltages from +1.2V to +5.5V and VCC voltages from +1.65V to +5.5V, making them ideal for data transfer between low-voltage ASICs/PLDs and higher voltage systems. The MAX3000 is a available in 20-bump UCSP, 20-pin TQFN (5mm x 5mm), and 20-pin TSSOP packages.
