MAX3394EEBL+T

Translators, Level Shifters Overview

The MAX3394EEBL+T is a dual bidirectional voltage level translator in a 9-bump UCSP package. It operates with VCC from +1.65V to +5.5V and VL from +1.2V to VCC. The device provides ±15kV HBM ESD protection on the VCC side, thermal shutdown at +125°C, and tri-state output mode. It supports data rates of 6Mbps with push-pull drivers and 1Mbps with open-drain drivers. Internal slew-rate enhancement circuitry features 10mA sink and 15mA source current capabilities.

Translators, Level Shifters Feature Summary

• Bidirectional level translation without requiring a direction control pin
• Internal slew-rate enhancement accelerates transitions for larger capacitive loads
• High-drive capability with 10mA sink and 15mA source current drivers
• Thermal-shutdown protection prevents damage during short-circuit faults

Translators, Level Shifters Applications

• Multivoltage bidirectional level translation
• SPI and I2C serial interface level translation
• Open-drain rise-time speed-up
• High-speed bus fan-out expansion

Translators, Level Shifters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix EEBL corresponds to the 9-bump UCSP package configuration rather than the standard TDFN variant. Confirm RoHS compliance status indicated by the plus sign. Ensure the component matches the manufacturer's latest revision specifications before integration into production designs.

Translators, Level Shifters Selection Notes

Select this component when space constraints require a small footprint like the UCSP package. It is suitable for translating between low-voltage ASICs and higher voltage systems. Consider the tri-state enable pin if multidrop network isolation is required. Verify that the supply voltage ranges align with the target system architecture.

Translators, Level Shifters Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX3394E/MAX3395E/MAX3396E family of high-drive current translators. While the MAX3394E offers dual channels, other variants provide quad or octal configurations. The EEBL suffix specifically denotes the UCSP packaging option, distinguishing it from the TDFN or TQFN versions available within the same functional family.

Translators, Level Shifters Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the MAX3394EETA+T for the TDFN package variant. Other family members like the MAX3395E offer additional channels but maintain similar electrical characteristics.
