Product details
Overview
MAX13004EBE from Maxim Integrated is a unidirectional 6-channel logic-level translator designed for voltage translation between low-voltage ASICs/PLDs (VL = +0.9V to +3.6V) and higher-voltage systems (VCC = +1.5V to +3.6V). It supports guaranteed 20Mbps data rate when VCC > +1.65V, features ±15kV HBM ESD protection on I/OVCC lines, and operates with <4µA quiescent supply current. It is used in SPI/MICROWIRE interfaces and smart-card readers requiring robust multivoltage signal routing.
For engineers reviewing the MAX13004EBE datasheet, MAX13004EBE pinout, MAX13004EBE application, or MAX13004EBE equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specifications, confirmed unidirectional VL→VCC translation capability, validated UCSP-16 package mapping, real-world timing performance at 20Mbps, and precise enable-controlled tri-state behavior under EN = GND.
Technical Context
The MAX13004EBE implements unidirectional level translation from VL-side inputs (CMOS or open-drain compatible) to VCC-side CMOS outputs. Its input stage accommodates external open-drain drivers via internal pull-down structures, while output stages use accelerated one-shot architecture to achieve 20Mbps propagation delay as low as 20ns (VCC > +1.65V, CI/OVCC = 50pF).
It requires no direction control signal and relies on dedicated VL and VCC supplies to define logic thresholds (VIHL/VILL = 2/3×VL & 1/3×VL; VIHC/VILC = 2/3×VCC & 1/3×VCC). EN input enables full I/O tri-state operation, with leakage current ≤1µA when disabled.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Data Rate | Guaranteed 20Mbps when VCC > +1.65V - enables high-speed SPI and MICROWIRE interface bridging. |
| Supply Range (VL) | +0.9V to +3.6V - supports ultra-low-voltage logic domains including 0.9V ASICs. |
| Supply Range (VCC) | +1.5V to +3.6V - interoperates with 1.8V, 2.5V, and 3.3V system rails. |
| ESD Protection | ±15kV on I/OVCC pins per HBM - ensures robustness in portable POS and smart-card reader designs with exposed connectors. |
| Quiescent Current | <4µA IQVCC, <2µA IQVL in shutdown - extends battery life in always-on portable communication devices. |

Pinout & Package
The MAX13004EBE is packaged in a 2mm × 2mm, 16-bump UCSP™ (Ultra-Compact Silicon Package) with bottom-side solder bumps. This RoHS-compliant, lead-free package supports fine-pitch PCB assembly and thermal performance suitable for portable electronics.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| I/OVL1–I/OVL6 | VL-side inputs | Accept CMOS or open-drain signals referenced to VL; require external pull-up ≤15kΩ for OD mode. |
| I/OVCC1–I/OVCC6 | VCC-side outputs | Drive CMOS loads referenced to VCC; support 20µA source/sink at VOHC/VOLC specs. |
| VL | Low-voltage supply | +0.9V to +3.6V logic reference; bypass to GND with 0.1µF capacitor. |
| VCC | High-voltage supply | +1.5V to +3.6V logic reference; bypass to GND with 0.1µF (1µF recommended for full ESD protection). |
| EN | Enable control | Active-high (driven to VL); pulls all I/Os into high-impedance state when low. |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return path for both VL and VCC supplies and I/O signals. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

| 20Mbps one-shot accelerator architecture | Reduces rise/fall times to ≤15ns (tRVCC/tFVCC) under load, enabling reliable high-speed clock/data transfer. |
| Tri-state enable (EN) | Permits dynamic isolation of translation paths during power sequencing or bus arbitration in multi-master systems. |
| ±15kV HBM ESD on I/OVCC | Eliminates need for discrete TVS diodes on VCC-side signal lines in handheld and field-deployable equipment. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar unidirectional level translation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TXS0108E | 8-channel, auto-direction sensing, 60Mbps max, 1.65V–5.5V VCCA/VCCB range | Supports bidirectional I²C/SMBus; lacks ±15kV HBM on all I/Os (only 8kV) | Prefer TXS0108E only when bidirectional auto-sensing is required and ESD robustness is secondary. |
| SN74AVC8T245 | 8-channel, direction-controlled, 3.6V max VCC, no open-drain input support, 24mA drive strength | Requires external direction signal; not suitable for OD-to-CMOS conversion without added logic | Select SN74AVC8T245 only for push-pull-driven buses where direction control is available and higher drive current is needed. |
Compared with TXS0108E and SN74AVC8T245, the MAX13004EBE uniquely combines guaranteed 20Mbps unidirectional translation, native open-drain input support on VL side, ±15kV HBM protection on VCC-side I/Os, and operation down to VL = +0.9V - making it optimal for space-constrained, ESD-prone, ultra-low-voltage portable interfaces.

FAQ
What is the maximum data rate supported by the MAX13004EBE?
The MAX13004EBE guarantees 20Mbps data rate when VCC exceeds +1.65V and load capacitance is ≤50pF. Performance degrades with increasing capacitive load or lower VCC; at VCC = +1.5V, the device operates at reduced speed. The 20Mbps rating is validated across the full -40°C to +85°C temperature range and applies specifically to the MAX13004EBE variant within the MAX13000E–MAX13005E family.
Does the MAX13004EBE support bidirectional level translation?
No, the MAX13004EBE is a unidirectional level translator configured for VL → VCC signal flow only. Unlike the MAX13003E or MAX13000E, it does not support automatic bidirectional translation. Its input stage accepts CMOS or open-drain signals on the VL side, and its outputs drive CMOS loads on the VCC side - directionality is fixed by internal architecture.
Can the MAX13004EBE interface with open-drain drivers on the VL side?
Yes, the MAX13004EBE explicitly supports open-drain drivers on the VL side. Its input structure accommodates OD sources with external pull-up resistors ≤15kΩ. This enables direct connection to I²C, SMBus, or reset/interrupt lines without additional buffering. The device translates OD signals to clean CMOS-compatible outputs on the VCC side.
What is the purpose of the EN pin on the MAX13004EBE?
The EN pin on the MAX13004EBE controls global tri-state operation: when pulled low (to GND), all I/OVL and I/OVCC pins enter high-impedance state, isolating both voltage domains. When driven high to VL, normal translation resumes. This feature supports dynamic bus sharing, power sequencing, and low-power standby modes in portable systems.
Is the MAX13004EBE available in a RoHS-compliant package?
Yes, the MAX13004EBE is supplied in a lead(Pb)-free/RoHS-compliant 16-bump UCSP package, indicated by the "+" suffix in the ordering code. The package uses matte tin surface finish and meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL-1), allowing standard reflow assembly without baking.
