MAX3000EEUP+T

Translators, Level Shifters Overview

The MAX3000EEUP+T is an 8-channel bidirectional level translator from the MAX3000E series, manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It operates with a VCC supply range of +1.65V to +5.5V and a VL supply range of +1.2V to +5.5V. The device guarantees a maximum data rate of 230kbps and features ±15kV ESD protection on the I/O VCC lines. It utilizes a TSSOP-20 package and functions within an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Translators, Level Shifters Feature Summary

• Bidirectional level translation architecture without requiring a directional control pin
• Ultra-low shutdown supply current of 0.1µA when enabled via the EN input
• Robust ±15kV electrostatic discharge protection on the VCC side I/O lines
• Rail-to-rail voltage translation capability between low-voltage ASICs and higher voltage systems

Translators, Level Shifters Applications

• CMOS logic-level translation in multivoltage systems
• SPI and MICROWIRE bus signal level shifting
• Smart card reader interface circuits
• Portable POS system communication interfaces
• GPS module data transfer connections

Translators, Level Shifters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix EEUP corresponds to the 20-pin TSSOP package variant. Confirm the E-grade designation ensures the specified ±15kV ESD protection levels on the VCC side. Ensure the ordering code includes the plus sign for lead-free compliance status as documented in the manufacturer's official ordering information tables.

Translators, Level Shifters Selection Notes

Select this component when bidirectional translation is required without complex direction control logic. The MAX3000E variant is suitable for lower-speed applications up to 230kbps. Consider the MAX3001E or MAX3002–MAX3012 variants if higher guaranteed data rates such as 4Mbps or 20Mbps are necessary for the target system design requirements.

Translators, Level Shifters Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX3000E/MAX3001E/MAX3002–MAX3012 family of 8-channel level translators. These devices facilitate data transfer between different voltage domains, specifically bridging low-voltage components like ASICs and PLDs with higher voltage system buses. The family offers various speed grades and unidirectional options alongside the bidirectional MAX3000E model.

Translators, Level Shifters Replacement Considerations

The MAX3000EEBP-T serves as a package alternative using the UCSP format. For higher speed requirements, the MAX3001E provides 4Mbps operation, while the MAX3002 through MAX3012 offer 20Mbps performance. Unidirectional variants include the MAX3004 through MAX3012 models.
