MAX3371EXT+T

Translators, Level Shifters Overview

The MAX3371EXT+T is a bidirectional low-voltage level translator in a 6-pin SC70 package. It supports VCC from +2.5V to +5.5V and VL from +1.6V to +5.5V, with data rates up to 2Mbps using push-pull drivers or 500kbps with open-drain drivers. The device features a shutdown mode that reduces supply current to less than 1µA and places I/O pins in a high-impedance state. Operating temperature range is -40°C to +85°C.

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
• Internal pullup resistors for open-drain compatibility

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 EXT+T against official documentation to confirm the SC70-6 package and lead-free status. Confirm availability through authorized Analog Devices distributors as stock levels fluctuate. Ensure the component meets RoHS compliance requirements for your manufacturing process.

Translators, Level Shifters Selection Notes

Select this part when interfacing low-voltage devices with higher voltage logic requires bidirectional translation. The MAX3371 is suitable for applications needing ultra-low power consumption via its shutdown feature. Consider the SC70 package size for space-constrained designs compared to larger µDFN options.

Translators, Level Shifters Part Context

This component belongs to the MAX3370/MAX3371 family of low-voltage level translators. While the MAX3370 lacks a shutdown pin, the MAX3371 adds a dedicated SHDN input for power management. Both share identical electrical characteristics for active operation but differ in packaging options like SC70 and µDFN.

Translators, Level Shifters Replacement Considerations

MAX3370EXT+T serves as a functional substitute if the shutdown capability is not required. Verify pinout compatibility and ensure the application does not rely on the high-impedance state provided by the MAX3371's SHDN pin.
