The MAX13030E–MAX13035E 6-channel, bidirectional
level translators provide the level shifting necessary for
100Mbps data transfer in multivoltage systems. The
MAX13030E–MAX13035E are ideally suited for memory-card level translation, as well as generic level translation in systems with six channels. Externally applied
voltages, VCCand VL, set the logic levels on either side
of the device. Logic signals present on the VLside of
the device appear as a higher voltage logic signal on
the V
CC
side of the device and vice versa. The
MAX13035E features a CLK_RET output that returns the
same clock signal applied to the CLK_VLinput.
The MAX13030E–MAX13035E operate at full speed
with external drivers that source as little as 4mA output
current. Each I/O channel is pulled up to VCCor VLby
an internal 30µA current source, allowing the
MAX13030E–MAX13035E to be driven by either pushpull or open-drain drivers.
The MAX13030E–MAX13034E feature an enable (EN)
input that places the device into a low-power shutdown
mode when driven low. The MAX13030E–MAX13035E
features an automatic shutdown mode that disables the
part when V
CC
is less than VL. The state of I/O V
CC_
and I/O VL_during shutdown is chosen by selecting the
appropriate part version (see
Ordering Information/
Selector Guide
).
The MAX13030E–MAX13035E accept V
CC
voltages
from +2.2V to +3.6V and V
L
voltages from +1.62V to
+3.2V, making them ideal for data transfer between
low-voltage ASIC/PLDs and higher voltage systems.
The MAX13030E–MAX13035E are available in 16-bump
UCSP (2mm x 2mm) and 16-pin TQFN (4mm x 4mm)
packages, and operate over the extended -40°C to
+85°C temperature range.
Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

The MAX13030E–MAX13035E 6-channel, bidirectional

The MAX13030E–MAX13035E accept VCCvoltages from
+2.2V to +3.6V and VLvoltages from +1.62V to +3.2V.
Level Translation
For proper operation, ensure that +2.2V ≤ VCC≤ +3.6V,
and +1.62V ≤ VL≤ VCC- 0.2V. When power is supplied to
V
L
while VCCis either missing or less than VL,
the MAX13030E–MAX13035E automatically enters a
low- power mode. In addition, the MAX13030E–
MAX13034E enters a low-power mode if EN = 0V. This
allows V
CC
to be disconnected and still have a known
state on I/O VL_. The maximum data rate depends heavily
on the load capacitance (see the
Typical Operating
Characteristics Rise/Fall Times
), output impedance of the
driver, and the operating voltage range.
Input Driver Requirements
The MAX13030E–MAX13035E architecture is based on
an nMOS pass gate and output accelerator stages (see
Figure 6). Output accelerator stages are always in tristate mode except when there is a transition on any of
the translators on the input side, either I/O VL_, CLK_VL,
I/O V
CC_
, or CLK_VCC. A short pulse is then generated
during which the output accelerator stages become
active and charge/discharge the capacitances at the
I/Os. Due to its architecture, both input stages become
active during the one-shot pulse. This can lead to some
current feeding into the external source that is driving the
translator. However, this behavior helps to speed up the
transition on the driven side.
The MAX13030E–MAX13035E have internal current
sources capable of sourcing 30µA to pullup the I/O
lines. These internal pullup current sources allow the
inputs to be driven with open-drain drivers, as well as
push-pull drivers. It is not recommended to use external pullup resistors on the I/O lines. The architecture of
the MAX13030E–MAX13035E permit either side to be
driven with a minimum of 4mA drivers or larger.
Output Load Requirements
The MAX13030E–MAX13035E I/O are designed to drive
CMOS inputs. Do not load the I/O lines with a resistive
load less than 25kΩ and do not place an RC circuit at
the input of these devices to slow down the edges. If a
slower rise/fall time is required, refer to the MAX3000E/
MAX3001E logic-level translator datasheet. For I2C
level translation, refer to the MAX3372E–MAX3379E/
MAX3390E–MAX3393E datasheet.
Shutdown Mode
The MAX13030E–MAX13034E feature an enable (EN)
input that places the device into a low-power shutdown
mode when driven low. The MAX13030E–MAX13035E
features an automatic shutdown mode that disables the
part when VCCis missing or less than VL.

Application Information
Layout Recommendations
Use standard high-speed layout practices when laying
out a board with the MAX13030E–MAX13035E. For
example, to minimize line coupling, place all other signal
lines not connected to the MAX13030E–MAX13035E at
least 1x the substrate height of the PCB away from the
input and output lines of the MAX13030E–MAX13035E.
Power-Supply Decoupling
To reduce ripple and the chance of introducing data
errors, bypass VLand VCCto ground with 0.1µF ceramic capacitors. Place all capacitors as close as possible
to the power-supply inputs. For full ESD protection,
bypass VCCwith a 1µF ceramic capacitor located as
close as possible to the VCCinput.
Unidirectional vs. Bidirectional Level
Translator
The MAX13030E–MAX13035E bidirectional level translators can operate as a unidirectional device to translate signals without inversion. These devices provide
the smallest solution (UCSP package) for unidirectional
level translation without inversion.
Use with External Pullup/Pulldown
Resistors
Due to the architecture of the MAX13030E–
MAX13035E, it is not recommended to use external
pullup or pulldown resistors on the bus. In certain applications, the use of external pullup or pulldown resistors
is desired to have a known bus state when there is no
active driver on the bus. For example, this may happen
when interfacing to a memory card slot with no memory
card inserted. The MAX13030E–MAX13035E include
internal pullup current sources that set the bus state
when the device is enabled. In shutdown mode,
the state of I/O V
CC_
and I/O V
L_
is dependent on
the selected part version (see
Ordering Information/
Selector Guide
for further information).
Open-Drain Signaling
The MAX13030E–MAX13035E are designed to pass
open-drain as well as CMOS push-pull signals. When
used with open-drain signaling, the rise time is dominated by the interaction of the internal pullup current
source and the parasitic load capacitance. The
MAX13030E–MAX13035E include internal rise time
accelerators to speed up transitions, eliminating any
need for external pullup resistors.
SD Card Detection
SD, MiniSD, MMC and similar types of cards provide
detection of a card through a pullup resistor on one of
the DAT lines, or by use of a mechanical switch. This
pullup resistor is internal to the memory card itself. The
MAX13030E–MAX13035E only support detection of
a memory card through a mechanical switch, and it
is recommended that the internal resistor for card
detection be switched off by the command interface.
For example, when using SD cards, the command
SET_CLR_CARD_DETECT (ACMD42) disables this
resistor.
