The MAX3000E/MAX3001E/MAX3002MAX3012 8channel 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. Logic signals present on the VL side of the device appear as a higher voltage logic signal on the VCC side of the device, and vice-versa. The MAX3000E/MAX3001E/MAX3002/MAX3004MAX3012 feature an EN input that, when low, reduces the VCC and VL supply currents to <2A. The MAX3000E/MAX3001E also have 15kV ESD protection on the I/O VCC side for greater protection in applications that route signals externally. The MAX3000E operates at a guaranteed data rate of 230kbps. The MAX3001E operates at a guaranteed data rate of 4Mbps. The MAX3002MAX3012 operate at a guaranteed data rate of 20Mbps over the entire specified operating voltage range.
