GENERAL DESCRIPTION
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 higher voltage logic signals on the VCC side of the device, and vice-versa. The ESD protection is specified using the Human Body Model (HBM). The MAX13000E/MAX13001E/MAX13002E operate at a guaranteed 230kbps data rate. The MAX13003E/ MAX13004E/MAX13005E operate at a guaranteed 20Mbps data rate when VCC > +1.65V. The MAX13000E/MAX13003E are bidirectional level translators, allowing data translation in either direction (VL ↔ VCC) on any single data line without a DIRECTION input. The MAX13001E/MAX13002E/MAX13004E/ MAX13005E unidirectional level translators level shift data in one direction (VL → VCC or VCC → VL) on any single data line. The MAX13001E/MAX13002E/ MAX13004E/MAX13005E unidirectional translators’ inputs have the capability to interface with both CMOS and open-drain (OD) outputs. For more information see the Ordering Information, Selector Guide, and the InputDriver Requirements sections.
