MAX3004EUP+

Translators, Level Shifters Overview

The MAX3004EUP+ is an 8-channel unidirectional voltage level translator 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 supports data rates up to 35Mbps depending on operating voltage conditions, featuring ±15kV ESD protection on I/O VCC lines. It includes an enable input that reduces supply currents to less than 2µA in shutdown mode. The component is housed in a 20-pin TSSOP package and functions over a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Translators, Level Shifters Feature Summary

• Unidirectional level translation architecture for shifting logic signals between different voltage domains without requiring a directional control pin.

Translators, Level Shifters Applications

• CMOS Logic-Level Translation
• SPI and MICROWIRE Level Translation
• Low-Voltage ASIC Level Translation
• Smart Card Readers

Translators, Level Shifters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'EUP+' against official manufacturer documentation to confirm the exact package type (TSSOP) and temperature grade (-40°C to +85°C). Ensure compatibility with system voltage requirements, specifically that VL does not exceed VCC during normal operation to prevent damage. Confirm RoHS compliance status through current datasheets as manufacturing processes may evolve.

Translators, Level Shifters Selection Notes

Select this component when unidirectional translation from a lower voltage domain (VL) to a higher voltage domain (VCC) is required. It is suitable for interfacing low-voltage controllers with higher voltage peripherals. Consider the 35Mbps maximum data rate capability and the ultra-low shutdown current if power efficiency is critical. Verify that the external driver meets output current requirements for full-speed operation based on line capacitance.

Translators, Level Shifters Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX3000E/MAX3001E/MAX3002–MAX3012 family of 8-channel level translators. While other members like the MAX3000E offer bidirectional translation or lower data rates, the MAX3004 provides unidirectional shifting optimized for specific interface protocols. The family shares common packaging options including TSSOP, TQFN, and UCSP, allowing design flexibility across various form factors.

Translators, Level Shifters Replacement Considerations

The MAX3008EUP+ serves as a functional substitute within the same family, offering identical 8-channel unidirectional translation capabilities and similar electrical characteristics. Both parts share the same TSSOP-20 package and operational voltage ranges, facilitating direct pin-compatible replacements in existing designs.
