Product details
Overview
MAX13030EETE+ from Maxim Integrated is a 6-channel bidirectional logic-level translator IC designed for high-speed voltage translation between +1.62V–+3.2V (VL) and +2.2V–+3.6V (VCC) domains. It supports 100Mbps data transfer, features internal 30µA pullup current sources per I/O, operates over –40°C to +85°C, and uses a 16-pin TQFN-EP (4mm × 4mm) package with exposed paddle. It is used in SD/MiniSD/MMC memory card interfaces where level shifting between low-voltage controllers and 3.3V cards is required.
For engineers reviewing the MAX13030EETE+ datasheet, MAX13030EETE+ pinout, MAX13030EETE+ application, or MAX13030EETE+ equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 100Mbps operation with 4mA input drivers, ±15kV HBM ESD protection on VCC-side I/Os, automatic shutdown when VL > VCC, high-impedance I/O states during shutdown, and compatibility with both push-pull and open-drain drivers without external resistors.
Technical Context
The MAX13030EETE+ implements a BiCMOS-based nMOS pass-gate architecture with integrated output-accelerator stages that generate short-duration charge/discharge pulses during signal transitions-enabling fast edge rates without external pullups. Its dual-supply design isolates VL and VCC domains while maintaining bidirectional signal flow across six independent channels.
It lacks EN input and CLK_RET functionality (distinguishing it from MAX13031E–MAX13034E and MAX13035E variants), and its I/O VL_ and I/O VCC_ pins enter high-impedance state during automatic shutdown triggered by VL > VCC + 0.7V. The device draws only 6–10µA from VL and 16–25µA from VCC under active operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Channels | 6 bidirectional I/O channels for simultaneous level translation |
| Max Data Rate | 100Mbps - enables full-speed SD/SDIO and MMC interface operation |
| Voltage Ranges | VL: +1.62V to +3.2V; VCC: +2.2V to +3.6V - supports 1.8V ASIC ↔ 3.3V peripheral interconnect |
| ESD Protection | ±15kV HBM on I/O VCC_ lines - eliminates need for external TVS in memory-card slots |
| Supply Current | IQVL = 6–10µA, IQVCC = 16–25µA - ultra-low quiescent power for battery-sensitive host systems |
| Propagation Delay | tPVL-VCC / tPVCC-VL = 6.5ns max - ensures timing compliance in 26MHz SD clock domains |
| Shutdown Trigger | Automatic disable when VL > VCC + 0.7V - prevents latch-up during asymmetric power sequencing |
Pinout & Package
MAX13030EETE+ is housed in a lead-free 16-pin TQFN-EP package (4mm × 4mm, 0.5mm pitch) with exposed thermal paddle connected to GND. Pin numbering follows standard top-view orientation with Pin 1 at bottom-left corner.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | I/O VL1 | Bidirectional data channel referenced to VL; connects to 1.8V-side DAT0/CLK/ CMD of SD card |
| 2 | I/O VCC1 | Bidirectional data channel referenced to VCC; connects to 3.3V-side controller I/O |
| 3 | I/O VL2 | Second VL-referenced I/O - used for DAT1 in SD/SDIO applications |
| 4 | I/O VCC2 | Second VCC-referenced I/O - pairs with I/O VL2 for bidirectional DAT1 translation |
| 5 | I/O VL3 | Third VL-referenced I/O - assigned to DAT2 in memory-card implementations |
| 6 | I/O VCC3 | Third VCC-referenced I/O - completes DAT2 channel pair |
| 7 | I/O VCC4 | Fourth VCC-referenced I/O - used for DAT3 in 4-bit SD mode |
| 8 | I/O VL4 | Fourth VL-referenced I/O - pairs with I/O VCC4 for DAT3 translation |
| 9 | I/O VCC5 | Fifth VCC-referenced I/O - supports CMD line translation in SD/SDIO |
| 10 | I/O VL5 | Fifth VL-referenced I/O - pairs with I/O VCC5 for bidirectional CMD signaling |
| 11 | EN | No connection - MAX13030EETE+ does not include enable input (unlike MAX13031E–MAX13034E) |
| 12 | I/O VL6 | Sixth VL-referenced I/O - reserved for future expansion or auxiliary signals |
| 13 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference - must be low-impedance plane tied to exposed paddle |
| 14 | I/O VCC6 | Sixth VCC-referenced I/O - complements I/O VL6 for full 6-channel operation |
| 15 | VCC | Main power supply (2.2V–3.6V); requires 0.1µF + 1µF ceramic decoupling to GND |
| 16 | VL | Logic-reference supply (1.62V–3.2V); bypassed with 0.1µF ceramic capacitor to GND |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 6-channel bidirectional level translation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX13031EETE+ | Includes EN input; I/O VCC_ pulled to VCC (16.5kΩ) during shutdown instead of high-impedance | Suitable when system requires explicit enable control and defined VCC-referenced idle state on VCC-side bus | Select MAX13031EETE+ if firmware-controlled shutdown and weak pullup on VCC-side I/O during sleep are required |
| TXB0306RUTR | TI part with auto-direction sensing; 3.6V max VCC; no automatic VL>VCC shutdown; lower ESD rating (±8kV HBM) | Used in general-purpose multivoltage logic interfacing but lacks memory-card-specific robustness and shutdown behavior | Choose TXB0306RUTR only for non-critical industrial I²C/SPI bridges where ESD immunity and power sequencing safety are secondary |
Compared with MAX13031EETE+, MAX13030EETE+ offers simpler power management (no EN routing needed) and safer high-Z shutdown for hot-swap memory slots; versus TXB0306RUTR, it delivers superior ESD protection, guaranteed 100Mbps performance, and automatic fault-safe shutdown-making it purpose-built for memory-card applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum data rate supported by the MAX13030EETE+?
The MAX13030EETE+ guarantees 100Mbps data transfer under specified conditions (RSOURCE = 150Ω, CI/OVCC ≤ 10pF, CI/OVL ≤ 15pF, push-pull drivers). This enables full-speed operation in SD high-speed mode (25MHz clock) and MMC high-speed mode (20MHz clock), with measured propagation delay of 6.5ns and channel-to-channel skew under 0.8ns ensuring timing margin.
Does the MAX13030EETE+ have an enable (EN) pin?
No, the MAX13030EETE+ does not include an EN input. It belongs to the MAX13030E–MAX13034E family subset that omits EN functionality. Instead, it relies solely on automatic shutdown triggered when VL exceeds VCC by more than 0.7V. For designs requiring explicit enable control, MAX13031EETE+ is the functionally matched alternative with identical package and pinout except for EN activation.
What are the supply voltage ranges for VL and VCC on the MAX13030EETE+?
The MAX13030EETE+ accepts VL from +1.62V to +3.2V and VCC from +2.2V to +3.6V. During normal operation, VL must be ≤ VCC − 0.2V to ensure correct level translation. However, the device safely enters automatic shutdown if VL temporarily exceeds VCC during power-up or brownout conditions-preventing latch-up or damage.
How does the MAX13030EETE+ handle ESD protection?
The MAX13030EETE+ provides ±15kV Human Body Model (HBM) ESD protection on all I/O VCC_ pins (including CLK_VCC), meeting stringent requirements for memory-card slots subject to frequent insertion/removal. This eliminates the need for external TVS diodes on the 3.3V side, reducing component count and board space while maintaining system-level IEC 61000-4-2 compliance when combined with proper PCB layout.
What is the I/O state during shutdown on the MAX13030EETE+?
During automatic shutdown (triggered when VL > VCC + 0.7V), both I/O VL_ and I/O VCC_ pins enter high-impedance state. This is confirmed in the Ordering Information table for MAX13030EETE+, which specifies "High impedance" for both I/O VL_ and I/O VCC_ during shutdown-ensuring no bus contention or leakage current when the host is powered down but the memory card remains inserted.
