Product details
Overview
MAX13014EBL-T from Maxim Integrated is a dual-channel bidirectional logic-level translator IC enabling 100Mbps data transfer between 1.2V–3.6V voltage domains. It features independent VL (1.2V to VCC−0.4V) and VCC (1.65V to 3.6V) supplies, active-high EN control, and ultra-low 0.03µA VCC supply current in tri-state mode. Used in SPI/MICROWIRE interfaces between low-voltage ASICs and higher-voltage systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX13014EBL-T datasheet, MAX13014EBL-T pinout, MAX13014EBL-T application, or MAX13014EBL-T equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 100Mbps operation at VL ≥ 1.8V, bidirectional translation without inversion, 2.5kΩ pulldown/pullup on VCC-side I/O, and compatibility with UCSP-9 (3×3) package constraints for space-constrained portable designs.
Technical Context
The MAX13014EBL-T implements a one-shot accelerator output stage architecture that activates only during signal transitions on either VL- or VCC-side I/O lines, minimizing quiescent current while achieving sub-7ns propagation delay (I/OVL→VCC: 6.5ns, I/OVCC→VL: 6ns). Its bidirectional path supports simultaneous level shifting in both directions per channel without external direction control.
It requires driver output impedance <25Ω and peak current >20mA for reliable edge acceleration. Input thresholds are ratiometric: VIHL/VILL = 2/3 VL & 1/3 VL; VIHC/VILC = 2/3 VCC & 1/3 VCC. Output drive strength is defined by 12.5Ω (VL-side) and 18.5Ω (VCC-side) one-shot output impedances.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Data Rate | 100Mbps guaranteed when VL ≥ 1.8V; 80Mbps when VL ≥ 1.2V - defines maximum SPI clock frequency support |
| VCC Range | +1.65V to +3.6V - enables interface with 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V systems |
| VL Range | +1.2V to (VCC − 0.4V) - supports direct connection to 1.2V/1.5V/1.8V ASICs/PLDs |
| Tri-State Supply Current | VCC: 0.03µA, VL: 0.1µA - enables zero-power hold during system sleep modes |
| Propagation Delay | I/OVL→VCC: 6.5ns, I/OVCC→VL: 6ns (CIO = 15pF) - ensures timing closure in high-speed serial links |
| Output Impedance | VL-side: 12.5Ω, VCC-side: 18.5Ω - determines rise/fall time with load capacitance (e.g., 3ns @ 15pF) |
| Input Thresholds | VIHL/VILL = 2/3 VL / 1/3 VL; VIHC/VILC = 2/3 VCC / 1/3 VCC - ensures noise margin across voltage domains |
Pinout & Package
MAX13014EBL-T is housed in a 3×3 UCSP-9 wafer-level chip-scale package (package code B9-2), measuring 1.4mm × 1.4mm × 0.5mm, with solder bumps on the die bottom. This ultra-compact footprint targets portable and wearables PCBs where board area is constrained.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | I/O VL1 | Bidirectional data line referenced to VL supply; connects to 1.2V–1.8V logic domain |
| 2 | I/O VL2 | Bidirectional data line referenced to VL supply; second channel for dual-signal translation |
| 3 | VL | Low-voltage supply input (1.2V to VCC−0.4V); must be bypassed with 0.1µF ceramic capacitor |
| 4 | GND | Ground reference for both VL and VCC domains; shared return path |
| 5 | EN | Active-high enable input; pulled to VL for normal operation; drives all I/O into tri-state when low |
| 6 | I/O VCC2 | Bidirectional data line referenced to VCC supply; connects to 1.8V–3.3V logic domain |
| 7 | I/O VCC1 | Bidirectional data line referenced to VCC supply; first channel for dual-signal translation |
| 8 | VCC | High-voltage supply input (1.65V to 3.6V); must be bypassed with 0.1µF ceramic capacitor |
| 9 | No Connect | Internally unused bump; left floating per design - no PCB trace required |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bidirectional level translation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX13014EKA | Same dual-channel function and electrical specs, but in 8-pin SOT23 package (2.9mm × 1.6mm) | Preferred for prototyping or manual assembly due to larger pitch (0.65mm vs UCSP's 0.4mm bump pitch) | Select MAX13014EKA when board assembly uses standard reflow or hand-soldering; choose MAX13014EBL-T for volume production with automated flip-chip placement. |
| TXS0102DCUR | TI part with 2-channel bidirectional translation, but lower max data rate (60Mbps) and no guaranteed 100Mbps spec | Acceptable for ≤30MHz SPI but not for full-speed 50MHz operation requiring 100Mbps timing margin | Use TXS0102DCUR only if system clock is capped below 30MHz; MAX13014EBL-T is required for guaranteed 100Mbps compliance. |
Compared with MAX13014EKA and TXS0102DCUR, the MAX13014EBL-T uniquely combines 100Mbps performance, UCSP-9 footprint, and 0.03µA tri-state VCC current - making it optimal for miniaturized, high-speed, low-power portable designs where space and timing margin are critical.

FAQ
What is the minimum VL voltage supported by the MAX13014EBL-T?
The MAX13014EBL-T supports VL down to +1.2V, provided VL ≤ VCC − 0.4V. At VL = 1.2V, the guaranteed data rate is 80Mbps. For full 100Mbps operation, VL must be ≥ 1.8V. The device remains functional during power-up even if VL momentarily exceeds VCC, preventing latch-up.
Does the MAX13014EBL-T require external pull-up resistors on its I/O lines?
No. The MAX13014EBL-T integrates 120Ω pull-up and 75Ω pulldown on VL-side I/O, and 2.5kΩ pull-up/pulldown on VCC-side I/O. These internal terminations eliminate the need for external resistors in most CMOS-driven applications, simplifying layout and reducing component count.
How does the enable (EN) pin behave on the MAX13014EBL-T?
The MAX13014EBL-T features a single active-high EN input. When EN is driven low (GND), all four I/O pins (I/O VL1, I/O VL2, I/O VCC1, I/O VCC2) enter high-impedance tri-state, reducing VCC supply current to 0.03µA and VL supply current to 0.1µA. Driving EN to VL enables normal bidirectional translation.
Can the MAX13014EBL-T translate I²C signals?
No. The MAX13014EBL-T is not designed for I²C level translation due to its push-pull output architecture and lack of open-drain compatibility. For I²C, Maxim recommends the MAX3372E–MAX3379E or MAX3390E–MAX3393E families, which support bidirectional open-drain signaling with appropriate slew-rate control.
What is the thermal performance of the MAX13014EBL-T in its UCSP-9 package?
The MAX13014EBL-T in UCSP-9 has a thermal resistance θJA of approximately 250°C/W (typical). At full 100Mbps operation with 15pF loads, total power dissipation remains below 1.5mW, resulting in negligible junction temperature rise (<0.4°C) in still air - eliminating need for thermal vias or heatsinking in most portable applications.
