MAX3013–MAX3022
+1.2V to +3.6V, 0.1µA, 100Mbps,
8-Channel Level Translators

Enable Input (EN)
The MAX3013–MAX3022 feature an EN input. Pull EN
low to set the MAX3013–MAX3022’s I/O on both sides
in tristate output mode. Drive EN to logic high (V
L
) for
normal operation.
Applications Information
Power-Supply Decoupling
To reduce ripple and the chance of introducing data
errors, bypass V
L
and V
CC
to ground with a 0.1µF
ceramic capacitor. Place the bypass capacitors as
close to the power-supply input pins as possible.
8-Bit Bus Translation
The MAX3013–MAX3022 level-shift the data present on
the I/O line between +1.2V to +3.6V, making them ideal
for level translation between a low-voltage ASIC and a
higher voltage system. The Typical Operating Circuit
shows the MAX3013 bidirectional translator in an 8-bit
bus level translation from a 1.8V system to a 3.3V sys-
tem and vice versa.
Unidirectional vs. Bidirectional Level
Translator
The MAX3013 bidirectional translator can operate as a
unidirectional device to translate signals without inver-
sion. The MAX3014–MAX3022 unidirectional translators
level-shift data in one direction (V
L
→ V
CC
or V
CC
→ V
L
)
on any single data line (see the Ordering Information).
These devices provide the smallest solution (UCSP pack-
age) for unidirectional level translation without inversion.
