MAX3372E–MAX3379E/ MAX3390E–MAX3393E ±15kV ESD-Protected, 1μA, 16Mbps, Dual/Quad Low-Voltage Level Translators in UCSP General Description The MAX3372E–MAX3379E and MAX3390E–MAX3393E ±15kV ESD-protected level translators provide the level shifting necessary to allow data transfer in a multivoltage system. Externally applied voltages, VCC and VL, set the logic levels on either side of the device. A lowvoltage logic signal present on the VL side of the device appears as a high-voltage logic signal on the VCC side of the device, and vice-versa. The MAX3374E/MAX3375E/ MAX3376E/MAX3379E and MAX3390E–MAX3393E unidirectional level translators level shift data in one direction (VL → VCC or VCC → VL) on any single data line. The MAX3372E/MAX3373E and MAX3377E/MAX3378E bidirectional level translators utilize a transmission-gatebased design (Figure 2) to allow data translation in either direction (VL ↔ VCC) on any single data line. The MAX3372E–MAX3379E and MAX3390E–MAX3393E accept VL from +1.2V to +5.5V and VCC from +1.65V to +5.5V, making them ideal for data transfer between lowvoltage ASICs/PLDs and higher voltage systems. All devices in the MAX3372E–MAX3379E, MAX3390E– MAX3393E family feature a three-state output mode that reduces supply current to less than 1μA, thermal shortcircuit protection, and ±15kV ESD protection on the VCC side for greater protection in applications that route signals externally.
