MAX3397EELA+T

Translators, Level Shifters Overview

The MAX3397EELA+T is a dual bidirectional low-level translator in an 8-pin µDFN package. It provides level shifting for data transfer between +1.2V to +5.5V (VL) and +1.65V to +5.5V (VCC) domains. The device guarantees an 8Mbps data rate across the full voltage range, with speeds up to 16Mbps within specific voltage limits. It features ±15kV ESD protection on VCC lines, thermal short-circuit protection, and a shutdown mode reducing supply current below 1µA.
