The MAX3013 8-channel level translator provides the
level shifting necessary to allow 100Mbps 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 MAX3013 features an EN input that, when at logic
low, places all inputs/outputs on both sides in tristate
and reduces the VCC and VL supply currents to 0.1µA.
This device operates at a guaranteed data rate of
100Mbps for VL > 1.8V.
The MAX3013 accepts a VCC voltage from +1.65V to
+3.6V and a VL voltage from +1.2V to (VCC - 0.4V), making
it ideal for data transfer between low-voltage
ASICs/PLDs and higher voltage systems. The MAX3013
is available in 5 x 4 UCSP, 20-pin 5mm x 5mm QFN,
and 20-pin TSSOP packages.
