MAX3371ELT+T

Translators, Level Shifters Overview

The MAX3371ELT+T is a bidirectional low-voltage level translator in a 6-pin µDFN package. It supports VCC from +2.5V to +5.5V and VL from +1.6V to +5.5V, with data rates up to 2Mbps for push-pull drivers and 500kbps for open-drain drivers. The device features a shutdown mode reducing supply current to under 1µA and placing I/O pins in a high-impedance state.

Translators, Level Shifters Feature Summary

• Bidirectional level translation between VCC and VL domains
• Ultra-low shutdown supply current below 1µA
• High-impedance I/O outputs during shutdown
• Miniature 6-pin µDFN packaging

Translators, Level Shifters Applications

• I2C Level Translation
• SPI and MICROWIRE Level Translation
• Low-Voltage ASIC Level Translation
• RS-232-Compatible Translation

Translators, Level Shifters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix ELT corresponds to the 6-pin µDFN package configuration. Confirm RoHS compliance status as indicated by the plus sign in the part number. Ensure the supplier provides official datasheets matching the Maxim Integrated product specifications for accurate implementation.

Translators, Level Shifters Selection Notes

Select this component when interfacing low-voltage devices with higher voltage logic levels requiring bidirectional data transfer. The integrated shutdown feature makes it suitable for power-sensitive applications where high-impedance states are required. Verify that the operating voltage ranges align with the system's VCC and VL requirements.

Translators, Level Shifters Part Context

This device belongs to the MAX3370/MAX3371 family of low-voltage level translators. While the MAX3370 lacks a shutdown pin, the MAX3371 variant includes the SHDN control for enhanced power management. Both share identical electrical characteristics for active operation and are designed for space-constrained portable electronics.

Translators, Level Shifters FAQ

How does the shutdown mode affect the I/O pins?

In shutdown mode, the I/O pins enter a high-impedance state, disconnecting internal pullup resistors.

What is the maximum data rate supported?

The device supports up to 2Mbps with an active driver and 500kbps with an open-drain driver.
