Product details
Overview
ADG3308BCPZ-REEL7 from Analog Devices is an 8-channel bidirectional logic level translator IC operating across dual supplies (VCCA = 1.15 V to 5.5 V, VCCY = 1.65 V to 5.5 V, with VCCA < VCCY), delivering up to 60 Mbps data rate, <1 μA quiescent current, and no direction pin. It enables voltage translation between low-voltage DSPs/microcontrollers and higher-voltage peripherals in portable communications and computing interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the ADG3308BCPZ-REEL7 datasheet, ADG3308BCPZ-REEL7 pinout, ADG3308BCPZ-REEL7 application, or ADG3308BCPZ-REEL7 equivalent, this page provides verified pin functions, real-world timing specs under multiple supply configurations, bidirectional channel behavior, enable-controlled three-state operation, and validated alternatives for multivoltage I/O bridging.
Technical Context
The ADG3308BCPZ-REEL7 implements a one-shot accelerator architecture per channel, using PMOS/NMOS transistor pairs triggered by edge detection to achieve fast rise/fall times (as low as 1 ns) and low skew (<4 ns channel-to-channel). Its dual-supply design isolates A-side (VCCA-referenced) and Y-side (VCCY-referenced) logic domains without external direction control.
Enable (EN) is referenced to VCCY and controls simultaneous high-impedance states on all A and Y pins. The device guarantees operation from −40°C to +85°C and supports dynamic data rates up to 60 Mbps under 2.5 V–3.3 V supply conditions, with propagation delays as low as 4 ns (Y→A) and 6 ns (A→Y).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCCA Range | 1.15 V to 5.5 V - sets A-side logic thresholds; must be strictly less than VCCY for correct translation. |
| VCCY Range | 1.65 V to 5.5 V - sets Y-side logic thresholds; defines upper bound of compatible host interface voltage. |
| Max Data Rate | 60 Mbps - achievable when VCCA = 2.5 V and VCCY = 3.3 V, enabling high-speed UART/SPI bridging. |
| Propagation Delay | 4–10 ns - Y→A delay as low as 4 ns (typ), A→Y as low as 6 ns (typ); critical for timing-critical serial links. |
| Quiescent Current | <1 μA - ultra-low ICCA/ICCY in active mode enables battery-powered smart card readers and POS terminals. |
| Enable Reference | VCCY-referenced EN - simplifies control logic when interfacing with 3.3 V or 5 V microcontrollers. |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for extended industrial environments including network switches and storage systems. |
Pinout & Package
ADG3308BCPZ-REEL7 is packaged in a 20-lead LFCSP (Lead Frame Chip Scale Package) with exposed pad, measuring 4 mm × 4 mm × 0.85 mm. The exposed pad may be tied to GND or left floating - never connected to VCCA or VCCY.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCCA (Pin 19) | A-side power supply | Reference for all A1–A8 I/O pins; determines VIHA/VILA thresholds and VOHA/VOLA levels on A side. |
| A1–A8 (Pins 20,1,2,3,4,5,6,7) | Bidirectional A-side I/O | Translate VCCA-compatible signals to VCCY-compatible outputs (A→Y) or vice versa (Y→A) automatically. |
| EN (Pin 8) | Active-high enable input | Referenced to VCCY; drives all A/Y pins into high-Z when low, reducing system power during idle or sleep modes. |
| GND (Pin 9) | Ground reference | Common return path for both supply domains; required for proper biasing of internal level-shifting transistors. |
| Y1–Y8 (Pins 10–18) | Bidirectional Y-side I/O | Interface with higher-voltage peripherals (e.g., 3.3 V/5 V FPGAs, memory controllers); output levels track VCCY. |
| VCCY (Pin 18) | Y-side power supply | Reference for all Y1–Y8 I/O pins; sets VIHY/VILY and VOHY/VOLY; must exceed VCCA for valid operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bidirectional auto-sensing translation | No direction pin required - internal edge-detection circuitry automatically detects signal flow direction per channel. |
| Dual independent supply domains | VCCA and VCCY operate independently (1.15 V ≤ VCCA < VCCY ≤ 5.5 V), enabling 1.2 V ↔ 1.8 V, 1.8 V ↔ 3.3 V, and 3.3 V ↔ 5 V bridging. |
| Ultra-low static power | <1 μA total supply current (ICCA + ICCY) at 5.5 V - extends battery life in portable POS and GPS devices. |
| High-speed performance | 60 Mbps max data rate with sub-10 ns propagation delay and <4 ns channel skew - suitable for SPI clock/data lines. |
| Three-state enable control | Single EN pin places all 16 I/Os (A1–A8, Y1–Y8) into high-impedance simultaneously, supporting bus sharing and hot-swap isolation. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bidirectional level translation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TXS0108E | 8-channel, VCCA = 1.2–3.6 V, VCCB = 1.65–5.5 V; requires VCCA < VCCB; EN referenced to VCCB; max 60 Mbps. | Supports identical voltage combinations but lacks guaranteed 1.15 V VCCA minimum; not rated for −40°C start-up. | Preferred where VCCA ≥ 1.2 V and extended temperature qualification is not required; lower unit cost in high-volume consumer designs. |
| SN74AVC8T245 | 8-bit dual-supply translator with direction pin (DIR); VCCA = 1.2–3.6 V, VCCB = 1.65–5.5 V; max 380 Mbps. | Direction-controlled (not auto-sensing); higher speed but adds control logic overhead and PCB routing complexity. | Select when maximum throughput (>100 Mbps) is mandatory and system can dedicate a GPIO for DIR; unsuitable for true bidirectional buses like I²C. |
Compared with TXS0108E and SN74AVC8T245, ADG3308BCPZ-REEL7 uniquely combines sub-1.2 V A-side operation, auto-direction sensing, and −40°C to +85°C qualification - making it the only drop-in solution for battery-powered industrial smart cards and automotive-adjacent telecom modules requiring guaranteed low-voltage startup.

FAQ
What is the minimum VCCA voltage supported by ADG3308BCPZ-REEL7?
The ADG3308BCPZ-REEL7 supports VCCA as low as 1.15 V, enabling direct interfacing with ultra-low-voltage processors and sensors. This specification is guaranteed over the full −40°C to +85°C temperature range and is explicitly tested per the Rev. E datasheet Absolute Maximum Ratings and DC specifications tables.
Can ADG3308BCPZ-REEL7 translate signals from VCCY to VCCA and vice versa simultaneously?
Yes, ADG3308BCPZ-REEL7 performs true simultaneous bidirectional translation: A1–A8 and Y1–Y8 operate independently, allowing concurrent A→Y and Y→A data flow on different channels. Each channel's one-shot accelerator detects edges on either side, eliminating contention and ensuring glitch-free operation without external direction control.
Is the EN pin of ADG3308BCPZ-REEL7 referenced to VCCA or VCCY?
The EN pin of ADG3308BCPZ-REEL7 is referenced to VCCY, as confirmed in the Pin Function Descriptions table (Page 7) and General Description (Page 1) of the Rev. E datasheet. Logic high on EN must meet VIHEN = 0.65 × VCCY minimum; tying EN directly to VCCA violates input threshold requirements and may cause undefined enable behavior.
Does ADG3308BCPZ-REEL7 require external pull-up resistors on A-side or Y-side I/Os?
No, ADG3308BCPZ-REEL7 does not require external pull-ups. Its internal architecture uses active transistor-based level shifting - not passive MOSFET pass-gates - so A1–A8 and Y1–Y8 drive rail-to-rail CMOS-compatible outputs without external biasing. Pull-ups are only needed if the connected peripheral mandates them for open-drain compatibility (e.g., I²C), not for ADG3308BCPZ-REEL7 functionality.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the ADG3308BCPZ-REEL7 LFCSP package?
The ADG3308BCPZ-REEL7 in its 20-lead LFCSP package has a θJA thermal impedance of 30.4°C/W, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table (Page 6) of the Rev. E datasheet. This value assumes standard JEDEC 2-layer board conditions and enables reliable operation up to +85°C ambient with typical power dissipation below 5 mW.
