ST6G3244MEDescription
1 Description
The ST6G3244ME is a dual supply, low voltage 6-bit bi-directional CMOS level translator for
SD, mini SD and micro SD Cards. Designed for use as an interface between baseband and
memory cards, it achieves high speed operation while maintaining CMOS low-power
dissipation.
The A-port is designed to track V
. The internal LDO is powered by V
CCA
and provides
BAT
a power supply of either 1.8 V or 2.9 V to the B-side I/Os (programmed by the SEL pin).
The B-port is designed to track V
V
= 0 V, there is no additional leakage seen on V
CCB
CCB
. The V
voltage can be also used externally. When
CCB
. All outputs are push-pull type.
CCA
This device is intended for two-way asynchronous communication between data buses.
The direction of data transmission is determined by CMD.dir, DAT0.dir and DAT123.dir
inputs.
All inputs are equipped with protection circuits against electrostatic discharge, giving them
±2 kV (on A-side) and ±15 kV (on B-side, CD and WP) ESD and transient excess voltage
immunity.

1. Collective names are used for groups of pins in the datasheet:
1. When the direction of the A-side signal is INPUT, the host CPU WRITES to the SD Card (i.e. the direction of the B-side
signal is OUTPUT).
When the direction of the A-side signal is OUTPUT, the host CPU READS the SD Card (i.e. the direction of the B-side
signal is INPUT).
2. Level of the B-side signals when EN = L is defined by the internal resistors as listed in Table 7.
(2)
Z
(2)(2)
Note:During application design it has to be considered that the level shifter device needs some
time to change the direction after a change of the .dir signal level. Valid data on the input of
the corresponding channel can then start after a turn-around time, see the t
specification

in Ta bl e 1 2.

Maximum ratingsST6G3244ME
3 Maximum ratings
Stressing the device above the rating listed in Table 4: Absolute maximum ratings may
cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only and operation of the
device at these or any other conditions above those indicated in Table 5: Recommended
operating conditions of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum
rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
1. The thermal resistance depends on the printed circuit board layout. To dissipate the heat efficiently away from the Flip-Chip
bumps, it is recommended to make the copper planes as large as possible and consider using thermal vias.
