Product details
Overview
MAX13013EBT-T from Maxim Integrated is a single-channel bidirectional logic-level translator IC enabling 100Mbps data transfer between +1.2V to +1.8V low-voltage domains (VL side) and +1.65V to +3.6V higher-voltage domains (VCC side), with active-high enable (EN), tri-state operation, and ultra-low 0.1µA VL supply current when disabled. It supports SPI™ and MICROWIRE™ interface translation in portable communication devices and GPS modules.
For engineers reviewing the MAX13013EBT-T datasheet, MAX13013EBT-T pinout, MAX13013EBT-T application, or MAX13013EBT-T equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 100Mbps data rate at VL ≥ 1.8V, bidirectional level shifting without inversion, 0.03µA VCC quiescent current in disable mode, and compatibility with UCSP-6 package layout constraints for space-constrained PCBs.
Technical Context
The MAX13013EBT-T implements a one-shot accelerator output architecture that activates only during signal transitions on either I/O VL_ or I/O VCC_, minimizing static power while achieving sub-4ns rise/fall times at 15pF load. Its dual-rail design accepts independent VL (+1.2V to VCC − 0.4V) and VCC (+1.65V to +3.6V) supplies, enabling interoperability between 1.2V ASICs and 3.3V microcontrollers.
Logic thresholds are defined as VIHL/VILL = 2/3×VL and 1/3×VL, and VIHC/VILC = 2/3×VCC and 1/3×VCC, ensuring robust noise margins across voltage combinations. The EN input directly controls tri-state behavior on both sides, reducing VCC current to 0.03µA and VL current to 0.1µA when asserted low.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Data Rate | 100Mbps guaranteed at VL ≥ 1.8V; 80Mbps at VL = 1.2V–1.79V - defines maximum usable clock frequency for SPI/MICROWIRE interfaces |
| VCC Supply Range | +1.65V to +3.6V - supports direct connection to 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V system rails without external regulators |
| VL Supply Range | +1.2V to (VCC − 0.4V) - enables translation from 1.2V FPGA I/O to 3.3V host processor, with safe startup margin |
| Disable Current (VCC) | 0.03µA - allows battery-powered systems to maintain multi-year shelf life in sleep mode |
| Disable Current (VL) | 0.1µA - ensures minimal leakage impact on ultra-low-power 1.2V sensor domain supplies |
| Propagation Delay | 6.5ns (VL→VCC), 6ns (VCC→VL) at 15pF - supports timing-critical high-speed serial links with <4ns part-to-part skew |
| Output Impedance | 12.5Ω (VL side), 18.5Ω (VCC side) - matches standard transmission line impedances for clean edge integrity |
Pinout & Package
The MAX13013EBT-T is housed in a 3 × 2 UCSP-6 (Ultra Compact Silicon Package) with bumps on the bottom of the die, measuring 1.5mm × 1.0mm × 0.5mm. This wafer-level chip-scale package enables board area reduction >70% versus SC70 alternatives.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | I/O VL1 | Bidirectional data terminal referenced to VL rail; connects to 1.2V/1.8V logic (e.g., FPGA I/O bank) |
| 2 | EN | Active-high enable input; pulled to VL for normal operation; drives all I/Os into high-impedance state when low |
| 3 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference shared by both voltage domains; requires low-inductance connection to PCB ground plane |
| 4 | I/O VCC1 | Bidirectional data terminal referenced to VCC rail; connects to 2.5V/3.3V controller (e.g., MCU SPI port) |
| 5 | VL | Low-voltage supply input (+1.2V to VCC−0.4V); must be bypassed with 0.1µF ceramic capacitor near the pin |
| 6 | VCC | High-voltage supply input (+1.65V to +3.6V); must be bypassed with 0.1µF ceramic capacitor near the pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bidirectional level translation | Enables single-line, non-inverting data flow in both VL↔VCC directions without external direction control logic |
| One-shot accelerator architecture | Reduces dynamic power by activating output drivers only during signal transitions, cutting average current vs. always-on designs |
| Guaranteed 100Mbps operation | Validated across full temperature range (−40°C to +85°C) and voltage combinations, supporting industrial-grade timing compliance |
| Tri-state enable control | EN input places both I/O VL1 and I/O VCC1 in high-impedance state, isolating domains during system reset or power sequencing |
| UCSP-6 package | 1.5mm × 1.0mm footprint with solder bumps eliminates leadframe parasitics, improving signal integrity at 100Mbps |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bidirectional level translation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TXS0101DCKR | Single-channel, 1.65V–5.5V VCCA/VCCB; 60Mbps max; push-pull outputs; no EN pin | Lacks enable control and guaranteed 100Mbps performance; requires external pull-ups for open-drain compatibility | Select when lower cost and wider voltage range outweigh need for EN control and 100Mbps guarantee |
| SN74AVC1T45DBVR | Single-channel, 1.2V–3.6V; 500Mbps typical; direction pin (DIR) required; higher 10µA quiescent current | Unidirectional architecture mandates external DIR signal routing; unsuitable for true bidirectional SPI/MICROWIRE | Select only for unidirectional paths where DIR control is available and 500Mbps speed is critical |
Compared with TXS0101DCKR and SN74AVC1T45DBVR, the MAX13013EBT-T uniquely delivers guaranteed 100Mbps bidirectional translation with integrated EN control and sub-0.1µA disable current in a 1.5mm × 1.0mm UCSP, making it optimal for space- and power-constrained portable designs requiring no direction logic.

FAQ
What is the minimum VL voltage supported by the MAX13013EBT-T?
The MAX13013EBT-T supports VL down to +1.2V, provided VL ≤ VCC − 0.4V. At VL = 1.2V, the guaranteed data rate is 80Mbps; 100Mbps is ensured only when VL ≥ 1.8V. This allows direct interfacing with 1.2V ASICs and PLDs while maintaining timing integrity in portable designs using the MAX13013EBT-T.
Does the MAX13013EBT-T require external pull-up or pull-down resistors?
No, the MAX13013EBT-T integrates internal pull-up (120Ω on I/O VL_) and pulldown (75Ω on I/O VL_, 2.5kΩ on I/O VCC_) resistors, eliminating the need for external biasing components. This simplifies PCB layout and reduces BOM count in applications such as SPI translation where the MAX13013EBT-T is deployed.
How does the enable (EN) pin affect power consumption of the MAX13013EBT-T?
When EN is driven low, the MAX13013EBT-T places both I/O VL1 and I/O VCC1 in tri-state and reduces VCC supply current to 0.03µA and VL supply current to 0.1µA. This ultra-low disable current makes the MAX13013EBT-T ideal for battery-operated systems where intermittent domain isolation is required without significant leakage penalty.
Can the MAX13013EBT-T translate signals between 1.2V and 3.3V rails?
Yes - the MAX13013EBT-T accepts VL = +1.2V and VCC = +3.3V (satisfying VL ≤ VCC − 0.4V), enabling direct translation between 1.2V logic (e.g., advanced FPGA I/O) and 3.3V microcontrollers. At this combination, the MAX13013EBT-T delivers 80Mbps guaranteed data rate with sub-7ns propagation delay.
What package type is used for the MAX13013EBT-T, and what are its key mechanical features?
The MAX13013EBT-T uses a 3 × 2 UCSP-6 (Ultra Compact Silicon Package) with dimensions 1.5mm × 1.0mm × 0.5mm and solder bumps on the die underside. This wafer-level package provides minimal parasitic inductance, supports fine-pitch PCB assembly, and occupies >70% less board area than comparable SC70 solutions - critical for miniaturized GPS and handset designs using the MAX13013EBT-T.
