MAX3375EEKA+T

Translators, Level Shifters Overview

The MAX3375EEKA+T is a unidirectional low-voltage level translator from the MAX3372E–MAX3379E family, manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It operates with VCC supply voltages ranging from +1.65V to +5.5V and VL supply voltages from +1.2V to +5.5V. The device supports data rates up to 8Mbps across the full voltage range, with higher speeds achievable in specific domains. It features ±15kV ESD protection on I/O VCC lines, thermal short-circuit protection, and a three-state output mode that reduces supply current to less than 1μA. Packaged in an 8-pin SOT-23 format.

Translators, Level Shifters Procurement Notes

Verify the exact ordering suffix against official manufacturer documentation to confirm package type and tape-and-reel specifications. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead-free manufacturing details through authorized distributors or direct manufacturer channels before procurement.

Translators, Level Shifters Selection Notes

Select this component when unidirectional signal translation is required between disparate voltage domains. Ensure the application does not require bidirectional data flow, as other models in the series are designed for that purpose. Verify that the load capacitance and driver impedance support the desired data rate within the specified voltage ranges.

Translators, Level Shifters Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX3372E–MAX3379E family of ESD-protected level translators. These devices facilitate data transfer in multivoltage systems by shifting logic levels based on externally applied VCC and VL voltages. The family includes both bidirectional and unidirectional variants packaged in UCSP, TDFN, and SOT-23 formats.

Translators, Level Shifters Replacement Considerations

The MAX3374EEKA+T and MAX3376EEKA+T are confirmed unidirectional substitutes within the same family offering similar voltage and speed characteristics.
