MAX3394EEBL+TG45

Translators, Level Shifters Overview

The MAX3394EEBL+TG45 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 supports data rates of 6Mbps with push-pull drivers and 1Mbps with open-drain drivers. It features ±15kV HBM ESD protection on I/O VCC lines, thermal-shutdown protection, and tri-state output mode. Internal slew-rate enhancement provides 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 circuitry for fast transitions under capacitive loads
• Tri-state output mode enabling high-impedance state for multidrop networks
• Thermal-shutdown protection preventing damage during short-circuit faults

Translators, Level Shifters Applications

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

Translators, Level Shifters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix TG45 against official Maxim Integrated documentation to confirm tape-and-reel packaging and RoHS compliance status. Ensure the UCSP B9-5 package code matches design requirements. Confirm availability through authorized distributors as supply conditions may vary.

Translators, Level Shifters Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring compact footprint solutions due to the UCSP package. It is suitable for translating between low-voltage ASICs/PLDs and higher voltage systems. Ensure power supplies adhere to the specified ranges: VCC between 1.65V and 5.5V, and VL between 1.2V and VCC.

Translators, Level Shifters Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX3394E/MAX3395E/MAX3396E family of bidirectional level translators. While the MAX3394E offers dual channels, the MAX3395E provides quad channels and the MAX3396E offers octal channels. All variants share similar electrical characteristics and protection features but differ in channel count and package options.

Translators, Level Shifters Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same family include MAX3395EETC+ and MAX3396EETP+. Verify channel count compatibility before substitution. Other packages like TDFN or TQFN variants of the MAX3394E may require schematic and layout adjustments.
