MAX6618AUB+T

Translators, Level Shifters Overview

The MAX6618AUB+T is a mixed-signal level translator manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. under the Maxim Integrated brand. It features a single circuit with one channel, supporting unidirectional data conversion between PECI and I2C protocols. The device operates at a maximum data rate of 400kbps and is housed in a compact 10-uMAX or uSOP package. Designed for surface-mount installation, it functions within an extended temperature range of -20°C to +150°C junction temperature, ensuring reliable performance in demanding thermal environments.

Translators, Level Shifters Feature Summary

• Converts signals from PECI input to non-inverting I2C output
• Supports high-temperature operation up to 150°C junction
• Compact 10-pin UMAX/uSOP surface-mount packaging

Translators, Level Shifters Applications

• PECI to I2C protocol translation in server systems
• Temperature monitoring interface adaptation
• Embedded controller communication bridging

Translators, Level Shifters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official documentation, as availability varies. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead times directly with authorized distributors. Ensure the component matches the required 10-pin package type for your PCB layout. Check for any obsolescence notices or lifecycle changes before finalizing procurement plans.

Translators, Level Shifters Selection Notes

Select this component when interfacing PECI-based controllers with I2C peripherals requiring signal level translation. The unidirectional nature suits applications where data flows strictly from processor to sensor. Consider the wide operating temperature range for industrial or automotive-grade deployments. Verify voltage compatibility between the source and destination buses.

Translators, Level Shifters Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX6618 series of mixed-signal translators. It addresses the need for protocol conversion in systems integrating Intel PECI standards with standard I2C devices. The UMAX package offers a small footprint suitable for dense board layouts. It serves as a bridge between different communication standards without requiring complex software handling.

Translators, Level Shifters Replacement Considerations

Check for MAX6618AUB+G126 as a potential variant, noting its discontinued status. Verify pinout and electrical specifications against current datasheets before substitution. Ensure any replacement supports the same PECI-to-I2C translation function.
