Product details
Overview
MAX13055EETI+ from Maxim Integrated is an 8-channel, bidirectional, high-speed logic-level translator IC designed for voltage-domain bridging between low-voltage (1.62V–3.2V) and higher-voltage (2.2V–3.6V) digital interfaces. It supports guaranteed 100Mbps data transfer with 2.5ns typical rise/fall times, internal 40µA pullup current sources per I/O, and automatic shutdown when VCC < VL. It is used in portable communication devices, camera modules, and smart card readers requiring robust multivoltage signal integrity.
For engineers reviewing the MAX13055EETI+ datasheet, MAX13055EETI+ pinout, MAX13055EETI+ application, or MAX13055EETI+ equivalent, key selection considerations include its 28-pin TQFN-EP package, open-drain I/O states during shutdown, ±15kV HBM ESD protection on I/O VCC lines, and compatibility with both push-pull and open-drain drivers sourcing ≥4mA.
Technical Context
The MAX13055EETI+ employs an nMOS pass-gate architecture with dedicated rise/fall time accelerator stages per channel-generating short-duration output pulses to actively charge/discharge load capacitance during signal transitions. This enables sub-3ns edge speeds even with 15pF loads while maintaining bidirectional operation without direction control pins.
It features dual-supply operation (VL = 1.62V–3.2V, VCC = 2.2V–3.6V), EN-controlled shutdown (≤2µA VCC supply current), and automatic disable when VCC falls below VL. During shutdown, both I/O VL_ and I/O VCC_ terminals enter open-drain state-ensuring high-impedance isolation without external pull resistors.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Channels | 8 bidirectional I/O channels-enables compact translation of full parallel buses or multi-signal interfaces like camera or memory control lines. |
| Max Data Rate | 100Mbps (push-pull mode)-supports high-speed serial protocols including SPI, UART, and parallel data links in portable systems. |
| Rise/Fall Time | 2.5ns typical (CI/O = 10–15pF)-ensures signal integrity at high frequencies without external termination or slew-rate control. |
| Supply Range | VL: +1.62V to +3.2V; VCC: +2.2V to +3.6V-matches common low-power ASIC/PLD core voltages (1.8V) and I/O rails (3.3V). |
| ESD Protection | ±15kV HBM, ±15kV IEC 61000-4-2 air, ±8kV contact on I/O VCC-eliminates need for external TVS diodes in handheld and POS applications. |
| Shutdown Current | ≤2µA total (VCC + VL)-enables battery-powered operation with negligible quiescent drain during sleep modes. |
| Internal Pullup | 40µA per I/O-allows direct interface with open-drain drivers (e.g., I²C) without external resistors, reducing BOM count and board space. |
Pinout & Package
MAX13055EETI+ is housed in a RoHS-compliant, lead-free 28-pin TQFN-EP package (3.5mm × 5.5mm, 0.5mm pitch) with exposed thermal pad connected to GND. The package supports automated assembly and provides low thermal resistance (θJA = 35°C/W).
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1,12–14,24–27 | N.C. | No internal connection-must be left floating or grounded per layout best practices; no routing required. |
| 2–10 | I/O VL1–VL8 | Bidirectional signals referenced to VL supply-connect to 1.62V–3.2V domain (e.g., baseband processor I/O). |
| 11 | EN | Active-high enable-drive high for normal operation; low disables all channels and forces I/O into open-drain shutdown state. |
| 15–18,20–23 | I/O VCC1–VCC8 | Bidirectional signals referenced to VCC supply-interface with 2.2V–3.6V domain (e.g., PMIC or sensor I/O). |
| 19 | VCC | +2.2V to +3.6V power rail-requires local 1µF + 0.1µF ceramic decoupling for noise suppression and ESD immunity. |
| 28 | VL | +1.62V to +3.2V logic reference-bypass with 0.1µF ceramic capacitor; defines low-side logic thresholds. |
| 6, B3–B5 | GND | Ground return for both supplies-multiple pins reduce ground impedance and improve noise rejection. |
| EP | Exposed Pad | Thermal and electrical ground-must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal performance and ESD path integrity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 8-channel bidirectional translation | Eliminates need for separate TX/RX translators or direction-control logic-reduces component count and routing complexity in multivoltage SoC interconnects. |
| 100Mbps guaranteed data rate | Validated across full temperature (-40°C to +85°C) and supply ranges-ensures timing margin for real-time interfaces in industrial and portable equipment. |
| Internal 40µA pullup current sources | Enables seamless interoperability with open-drain drivers (e.g., I²C, SMBus) without external resistors-saves PCB area and avoids RC timing uncertainty. |
| Automatic VCC < VL shutdown | Prevents back-powering or latch-up during asymmetric power sequencing-critical for battery-backed systems with independent domain power rails. |
| ±15kV HBM ESD on I/O VCC | Meets IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 system-level ESD requirements-reduces or eliminates need for discrete protection components in end-equipment design. |
Applications
| Smart Card Readers | Camera Modules |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bidirectional level translation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX13056EETI+ | I/O VCC_ pulled down to GND (10kΩ) during shutdown; I/O VL_ remains open-drain. | Suitable where VCC-side bus must be actively held low during sleep (e.g., reset line assertion). | Select MAX13056EETI+ only if controlled low-state on VCC-side I/O during shutdown is required-otherwise MAX13055EETI+ offers symmetric open-drain isolation. |
| MAX3378EASA+ | 4-channel, unidirectional translator with integrated 10kΩ pullups; no automatic VCC/VL sequencing detection. | Designed for I²C/SMBus with fixed-direction clock/data separation-not suitable for full-duplex or parallel bus translation. | Choose MAX3378EASA+ only for dedicated I²C translation; MAX13055EETI+ is superior for 8-channel, bidirectional, high-speed general-purpose use. |
Compared with MAX13056EETI+, MAX13055EETI+ provides symmetrical open-drain shutdown on both sides-ideal for systems requiring complete bus float. Against MAX3378EASA+, it delivers double the channel count, true bidirectionality, and 25× higher speed-making it appropriate for next-generation portable interfaces beyond legacy I²C.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported data rate for MAX13055EETI+ in push-pull mode?
The MAX13055EETI+ guarantees 100Mbps data transfer in push-pull configuration across its full operating temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) and supply voltage ranges (VL = 1.62V–3.2V, VCC = 2.2V–3.6V). This is validated with 10pF/15pF capacitive loads and source impedances under 150Ω. Open-drain operation supports up to 1Mbps due to reliance on internal 40µA pullup current.
Does MAX13055EETI+ require external pullup resistors on its I/O lines?
No, MAX13055EETI+ does not require external pullup resistors. It integrates 40µA internal current sources on each I/O line-sufficient to drive open-drain signals and eliminate external components. The datasheet explicitly advises against using external pullups, as they conflict with the internal accelerator architecture and may degrade edge speed or cause contention.
What happens to the I/O pins of MAX13055EETI+ during shutdown mode?
When enabled low (EN = GND) or when VCC drops below VL, MAX13055EETI+ enters shutdown mode. In this state, both I/O VL_ and I/O VCC_ pins default to open-drain configuration-presenting high-impedance outputs with no active pullup or pulldown. This behavior is confirmed in the Ordering Information/Selector Guide for the MAX13055EETI+ variant.
Can MAX13055EETI+ translate between 1.8V and 3.3V logic domains?
Yes, MAX13055EETI+ is specifically designed for 1.8V-to-3.3V translation: VL can be set to +1.8V (within 1.62V–3.2V range) and VCC to +3.3V (within 2.2V–3.6V range). Input thresholds scale with supply (e.g., VIHL = VL – 0.2V, VIHC = VCC – 0.4V), ensuring reliable recognition of logic levels across both domains.
What package type and thermal characteristics does MAX13055EETI+ use?
MAX13055EETI+ uses a 28-pin TQFN-EP package (3.5mm × 5.5mm, 0.5mm pitch) with exposed thermal pad. Its junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) is 35°C/W, and junction-to-case (θJC) is 2.7°C/W-enabling efficient heat dissipation in compact portable designs without additional heatsinking.
