Product details
Overview
MAX13055EEWG+ from Maxim Integrated is an 8-channel bidirectional low-voltage logic-level translator IC designed for high-speed voltage domain bridging between 1.62V–3.2V (VL) and 2.2V–3.6V (VCC) systems. It supports guaranteed 100Mbps data transfer, features internal 40µA I/O pull-ups, and operates across –40°C to +85°C in a 24-bump WLP package. It is used in smart card readers and portable communication devices requiring robust level shifting.
For engineers reviewing the MAX13055EEWG+ datasheet, MAX13055EEWG+ pinout, MAX13055EEWG+ application, or MAX13055EEWG+ equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional channel count, shutdown-state I/O behavior (open-drain on both VL_ and VCC_ sides), ESD robustness (±15kV HBM), supply voltage flexibility, and WLP package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The MAX13055EEWG+ implements passive FET-based bidirectional translation per channel without direction control pins, enabling seamless signal flow across voltage domains. Its enable (EN) input and automatic VCC<VL shutdown provide dual power management modes, while internal 40µA current sources eliminate external pull-ups for push-pull or open-drain drivers.
During shutdown, both I/O VL_ and I/O VCC_ terminals enter open-drain state-confirmed for MAX13055EEWG+ in the Ordering Information/Selector Guide. This behavior isolates signal paths while maintaining high-impedance termination, critical for system-level power sequencing in portable POS and camera modules.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Data Rate | Guaranteed 100Mbps-supports high-speed UART, I²C, and GPIO bridging without timing margin loss. |
| Channel Count | 8 bidirectional channels-enables full parallel interface translation (e.g., 8-bit data bus) without external direction control. |
| VL Range | +1.62V to +3.2V-interoperates with 1.8V ASICs, PLDs, and low-power microcontrollers. |
| VCC Range | +2.2V to +3.6V-compatible with 3.3V system rails and mixed-voltage backplanes. |
| ESD Protection | ±15kV HBM, ±15kV IEC 61000-4-2 air, ±8kV contact-reduces need for external TVS diodes in handheld device interfaces. |
| Shutdown Behavior | I/O VL_ and I/O VCC_ both open-drain-ensures no leakage path during power-down, preserving battery life in portable systems. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C-qualified for industrial and consumer-grade portable electronics environments. |
Pinout & Package
MAX13055EEWG+ is housed in a 24-bump wafer-level package (WLP) with 0.4mm pitch, optimized for ultra-compact PCB footprints. Pin assignments follow standard ball-grid layout for WLP devices; functional mapping is defined by bump position rather than traditional leads.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC | High-side supply rail | Power source for VCC-side logic levels (2.2V–3.6V); must be stable before EN assertion. |
| VL | Low-side supply rail | Power source for VL-side logic levels (1.62V–3.2V); enables automatic shutdown if VL > VCC. |
| EN | Enable control input | Active-high digital input; drives device into low-power shutdown when logic-low. |
| I/O VL1–VL8 | Bidirectional low-voltage I/O | Connect to 1.62V–3.2V domain signals; internally pulled up with 40µA current source. |
| I/O VCC1–VCC8 | Bidirectional high-voltage I/O | Connect to 2.2V–3.6V domain signals; same internal pull-up structure as VL-side. |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return path for both supply domains; requires low-inductance connection to minimize noise coupling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bidirectional translation without direction pin | Eliminates need for external control logic or timing-critical direction signals in multi-channel interfaces. |
| Internal 40µA pull-up current sources | Supports direct connection to open-drain drivers (e.g., I²C) and push-pull outputs without external resistors. |
| Automatic VCC < VL shutdown | Prevents unintended operation during power sequencing faults-no software or external monitoring required. |
| Open-drain I/O state in shutdown | Maintains isolation between voltage domains during sleep mode, avoiding cross-talk or back-powering risks. |
| Lead-free 24-bump WLP | 0.4mm pitch enables <10mm² footprint-ideal for camera modules and slim mobile accessories where board area is constrained. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bidirectional level translation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TXB0108RJR | 8-channel, auto-direction sensing; 1.2V–3.6V VL/VCC range; 100Mbps typical (not guaranteed) | Requires no EN signal; less robust ESD (±2kV HBM); different shutdown behavior (high-Z, not open-drain) | Select when directionless auto-sensing is preferred and guaranteed 100Mbps is not required. |
| SN74AVC8T245RHLR | 8-channel, direction-controlled; 1.2V–3.6V; 500Mbps guaranteed; active-high DIR pin required | Unidirectional per channel unless externally wired; higher drive strength (24mA); larger 24-pin QFN package | Select when higher speed or stronger drive is needed and direction control logic is available. |
Compared with TXB0108RJR and SN74AVC8T245RHLR, the MAX13055EEWG+ uniquely guarantees 100Mbps performance with open-drain shutdown states on both sides-critical for battery-powered systems requiring strict power isolation and deterministic timing in mixed-voltage interfaces.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed maximum data rate supported by the MAX13055EEWG+?
The MAX13055EEWG+ guarantees 100Mbps data transfer across all 8 bidirectional channels under specified supply and load conditions. This performance is validated across the full operating temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) and is not dependent on external pull-up resistors due to its internal 40µA current sources. The MAX13055EEWG+ maintains this rate with minimal jitter and ringing, making it suitable for time-sensitive interfaces like camera sensor buses.
How does the MAX13055EEWG+ behave during shutdown mode?
When the EN pin is driven low or when VCC falls below VL, the MAX13055EEWG+ enters shutdown mode with both I/O VL_ and I/O VCC_ terminals in open-drain state-as explicitly defined in the Ordering Information/Selector Guide for MAX13055EEWG+. This ensures no current flows between voltage domains, preventing back-powering or leakage that could compromise battery life in portable devices using the MAX13055EEWG+.
What package type is used for the MAX13055EEWG+?
The MAX13055EEWG+ uses a 24-bump wafer-level package (WLP) with 0.4mm pitch and lead-free/RoHS-compliant construction. This ultra-compact package measures approximately 2.1mm × 2.1mm and is optimized for high-density layouts in space-constrained applications such as camera modules and slim mobile accessories where the MAX13055EEWG+ is commonly deployed.
Does the MAX13055EEWG+ require external pull-up resistors?
No, the MAX13055EEWG+ integrates 40µA current sources on all I/O VL_ and I/O VCC_ pins, eliminating the need for external pull-up resistors. This design supports direct interfacing with both push-pull and open-drain drivers-including I²C-compatible signals-without additional components. The internal pull-ups ensure proper logic-level definition during idle and transition states, simplifying schematic design for systems using the MAX13055EEWG+.
What ESD protection levels does the MAX13055EEWG+ provide on its I/O lines?
The MAX13055EEWG+ provides ±15kV ESD protection per Human Body Model (HBM) and ±15kV per IEC 61000-4-2 air discharge on its I/O VCC lines. Contact discharge is rated at ±8kV per IEC 61000-4-2. These values are measured and specified in the official datasheet, and they reduce or eliminate the need for external ESD protection components in end equipment using the MAX13055EEWG+.
