MAX3002EBP

Translators, Level Shifters Overview

The MAX3002EBP is an eight-channel bidirectional level translator manufactured by Maxim Integrated, now part of Analog Devices. It facilitates data transfer in multivoltage systems by shifting logic levels between VCC and VL domains without requiring a directional control pin. The device supports a guaranteed data rate of 20Mbps with a maximum propagation delay of 20ns. It operates with a VCC supply voltage range of 1.65V to 5.5V and a VL range down to 1.2V. The component features ±15kV ESD protection on I/O lines and offers ultra-low quiescent current consumption.

Translators, Level Shifters Feature Summary

• Smart card reader systems
• Portable POS terminals

Translators, Level Shifters Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation carefully, as Maxim Integrated products are now managed under Analog Devices Inc. Confirm the specific suffix 'EBP' corresponds to the UCSP package variant rather than TSSOP or TQFN options within the MAX3002 family. Ensure the component meets the required operating temperature range and voltage specifications for your target application before procurement.

Translators, Level Shifters Selection Notes

Select this component when bidirectional translation is required without complex control logic. It is suitable for applications needing high ESD immunity and low standby power. Compare against MAX3000E or MAX3001E if lower data rates suffice, or MAX3004–MAX3012 variants if unidirectional translation is acceptable. Verify package availability matches the PCB footprint requirements.

Translators, Level Shifters Part Context

The MAX3002EBP belongs to the MAX3000E/MAX3001E/MAX3002–MAX3012 family of 8-channel level translators. This series provides essential voltage shifting for multivoltage system integration. The EBPSuffix typically denotes the UCSP (Ultra Compact Small Package) form factor, distinguishing it from other package options like TSSOP-20 available in the broader product line.

Translators, Level Shifters FAQ
