General Description

The MAX3000E/MAX3001E/MAX3002–MAX3012 8-

channel level translators provide the level shifting neces-

sary to allow data transfer in a multivoltage system.

els on either side of the device. Logic signals present on

The MAX3000E/MAX3001E/MAX3002/MAX3004–MAX3012

greater protection in applications that route signals

externally. The MAX3000E operates at a guaranteed data

rate of 230kbps. The MAX3001E operates at a guaranteed

data rate of 4Mbps. The MAX3002–MAX3012 operate at a

guaranteed data rate of 20Mbps over the entire specified

operating voltage range.

The MAX3000E/MAX3001E/MAX3002–MAX3012 accept

+1.65V to +5.5V, making them ideal for data transfer

between low-voltage ASICs/PLDs and higher voltage

systems. The MAX3000E/MAX3001E/MAX3002–

MAX3012 are available in 20-pin UCSP™ and 20-pin

TSSOP packages.
