General Description
The MAX3013–MAX3022 8-channel level translators provide the level shifting necessary to allow 100Mbps data
transfer in a multivoltage system. 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
VCCside of the device, and vice-versa.
The MAX3013–MAX3022 feature an EN input that, when
at logic low, places all inputs/outputs on both sides in
tristate and reduces the VCCand VL supply currents to
0.1µA. These devices operate at a guaranteed data rate
of 100Mbps for V
L
> 1.8V.
The MAX3013–MAX3022 accept a V
CC
voltage from
+1.65V to +3.6V and a VLvoltage from +1.2V to (VCC-
0.4V), making them ideal for data transfer between lowvoltage ASICs/PLDs and higher voltage systems. The
MAX3013–MAX3022 are available in 5 x 4 UCSP™, 20pin 5mm x 5mm QFN, and 20-pin TSSOP packages.

MAX3013–MAX3022
+1.2V to +3.6V, 0.1µA, 100Mbps,
8-Channel Level Translators
______________________________________________________________________________________ 11
Detailed Description
The MAX3013–MAX3022 logic-level translators provide
the level shifting necessary to allow 100Mbps data transfer in a multivoltage system. 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
VCCside of the device, and vice-versa. The MAX3013
bidirectional level translator allows data translation in
either direction (VL↔ VCC) on any single data line. The
MAX3014–MAX3022 unidirectional translators level-shift
data in one direction (V
L
→ VCCor VCC→ VL) on any
single data line. The MAX3013–MAX3022 accept V
L
from
+1.2V to (VCC- 0.4V) and operate with VCCfrom +1.65V
to +3.6V, making them ideal for data transfer between
low-voltage ASICs/PLDs and higher voltage systems.
The MAX3013–MAX3022 feature an input enable mode
(EN) that reduces VCCand VLsupply currents to 0.1µA,
when in tristate mode. These devices operate at a
guaranteed data rate of 100Mbps for VL> +1.8V.
Level Translation
For proper operation, ensure that +1.65V ≤ VCC≤ +3.6V,
+1.2V ≤ VL≤ (VCC- 0.4V). During power-up sequencing,
VL≥ VCCdoes not damage the device. During powersupply sequencing, when VCCis floating and VLis powering up, up to 40mA current can be sourced to each
load on the VLside, yet the device does not latch up.
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 (see the Timing Characteristics).
Input Driver Requirements
The MAX3013–MAX3022 architecture is based on a
one-shot accelerator output stage (see Figure 5).
Accelerator output stages are always in tristate mode
except when there is a transition on any of the translators on the input side, either I/O VLor I/O VCC. Then, a
short pulse is generated during which the accelerator
output stages become active and charge/discharge the
capacitances at the I/Os. Due to its bidirectional nature,
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.
For proper operation, the external driver must meet the
following conditions: <25Ω output impedance and
>20mA output current. Figure 6 shows a graph of
Typical Input Current vs. Input Voltage.
Output Load Requirements
The MAX3013–MAX3022 I/O were designed to drive
CMOS inputs. Do not load the I/O lines with a resistive
load less than 25kΩ. Also, do not place an RC circuit at
the input of the MAX3013–MAX3022 to slow down the
edges. If a slower data rate is required, please see the
MAX3000E/MAX3001E logic-level translator.
For I2C™ level translation, please refer to the MAX3372E–
MAX3379E/MAX3390E–MAX3393E data sheet.

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 (VL) for
normal operation.
Applications Information
Power-Supply Decoupling
To reduce ripple and the chance of introducing data
errors, bypass VLand VCCto 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 system and vice versa.
Unidirectional vs. Bidirectional Level
Translator
The MAX3013 bidirectional translator can operate as a
unidirectional device to translate signals without inversion. The MAX3014–MAX3022 unidirectional translators
level-shift data in one direction (VL→ VCCor VCC→ VL)
on any single data line (see the Ordering Information).
These devices provide the smallest solution (UCSP package) for unidirectional level translation without inversion.
