MAX3378EEUD+ Datasheet PDF - Maxim Integrated

The MAX3378EEUD+ is a 16Mbps dual low-voltage Level Translator. The ±15kV ESD-protected level translator provides the level shifting necessary to allow data transfer in a multi-voltage system. Externally applied voltages, Vcc and VL, set the logic levels on either side of the device. A low-voltage 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 MAX3378E bidirectional level translator utilizes a transmission-gate-based design to allow data translation in either direction on any single data line. The MAX3378E accept VL from +1.2V to +5.5V and Vcc from +1.65V to +5.5V, making them ideal for data transfer between low-voltage ASICs/PLDs and higher voltage systems. The MAX3378E operate at a guaranteed data rate of 8Mbps over the entire specified operating voltage range. Within specific voltage domains, higher data rates are possible.
