Product details
Overview
MAX13101EEBX from Maxim Integrated is a 16-channel bidirectional CMOS logic-level translator enabling voltage translation between VL (1.2V to VCC) and VCC (1.65V to 5.5V) domains without direction control. It supports up to 20Mbps data rate, features ±15kV HBM ESD protection on I/O VCC pins, and provides tri-state or 6kΩ pulldown output states during shutdown. It is used in portable electronics for interfacing low-voltage ASICs/PLDs with higher-voltage system buses.
For engineers reviewing the MAX13101EEBX datasheet, MAX13101EEBX pinout, MAX13101EEBX application, or MAX13101EEBX equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 20Mbps throughput, dual-supply independent operation, shutdown current <1µA (VCC) / <2µA (VL), 36-bump UCSP package (3.06mm × 3.06mm), and I/O VCC-side ESD robustness in handheld device interconnects.
Technical Context
The MAX13101EEBX implements a bidirectional one-shot accelerator architecture that activates only during signal transitions-reducing static power while accelerating edge rates. Its input thresholds are ratiometric (VIHL/VILL = 2/3×VL & 1/3×VL; VIHC/VILC = 2/3×VCC & 1/3×VCC), ensuring compatibility across supply combinations.
It uses an EN input to enter shutdown mode, where MAX13101E-specific behavior pulls I/O VCC lines to GND via internal 6kΩ resistors while placing I/O VL lines in high-impedance state-enabling safe isolation in battery-powered systems during sleep.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | +1.65V to +5.5V - supports interface between 1.8V/2.5V/3.3V/5V system domains |
| VL Range | +1.2V to VCC - enables translation from ultra-low-voltage logic (e.g., 1.2V FPGA I/O) upward |
| Max Data Rate | 20Mbps - verified at CI/OVCC = 50pF, CI/OVL = 15pF, tRISE ≤ 3ns |
| ESD Protection | ±15kV HBM on I/O VCC pins - eliminates need for external TVS in exposed signal paths |
| Shutdown Current | <1µA (VCC), <2µA (VL) - extends battery life in always-on portable subsystems |

Pinout & Package
The MAX13101EEBX is housed in a 36-bump UCSP™ package (3.06mm × 3.06mm, 0.5mm pitch), with exposed paddle connected to GND for thermal and EMI performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (Pins D6, A1, F1) | Ground reference | Three dedicated ground bumps ensure low-impedance return path for both supply domains and I/O switching currents |
| VL (Pins A1, C6) | Low-voltage logic supply | Accepts 1.2V–VCC; must be bypassed with 0.1µF capacitor; defines I/O VL threshold levels |
| VCC (Pins F1, C6) | High-voltage logic supply | Accepts 1.65V–5.5V; requires 0.1µF + 1.0µF ceramic bypass for full ESD immunity |
| EN (Pin C6) | Global enable input | Pull low to activate shutdown; drives I/O VCC to GND (6kΩ) and I/O VL to Hi-Z |
| I/O VL1–I/O VL16 | VL-referenced bidirectional I/O | 16 channels referenced to VL; tolerate -0.3V to (VL + 0.3V); support 20µA drive strength |
| I/O VCC1–I/O VCC16 | VCC-referenced bidirectional I/O | 16 channels referenced to VCC; tolerate -0.3V to (VCC + 0.3V); ±15kV HBM protected |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar logic-level translation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TXB0108RSLR | 8-channel, auto-direction sensing, 3.6V max VCC, no integrated pulldown in shutdown | Limited to lower channel count and narrower VCC range; lacks 6kΩ shutdown pulldown on VCC I/Os | Select when 8-channel capacity suffices and ESD requirements are less stringent |
| SN74AVCH16T245DGGR | 16-channel, direction-controlled, 3.6V max VCC, higher typical ICC (20µA) | Requires external direction signal; incompatible with bidirectional protocols like I²C without arbitration logic | Choose only if system already implements direction control and operates below 3.6V |

FAQ
What is the maximum capacitive load the MAX13101EEBX can drive while maintaining 20Mbps operation?
The MAX13101EEBX maintains 20Mbps data rate with CI/OVCC ≤ 50pF and CI/OVL ≤ 15pF under specified test conditions (RS = 50Ω, tRISE ≤ 3ns). Rise/fall times increase linearly with load capacitance-e.g., tRVL rises from 15ns (15pF) to ~6ns (50pF). For reliable 20Mbps operation, keep total trace + pin + receiver capacitance within these limits.
Does the MAX13101EEBX require external direction-control signals?
No. The MAX13101EEBX uses an inherent bidirectional architecture with no direction pin required. Signal flow is automatically detected and translated in either direction (VL ↔ VCC) on each of its 16 channels, simplifying PCB layout and firmware design for protocols like I²C or UART.
How does the MAX13101EEBX behave during power-up when VL ramps before VCC?
The MAX13101EEBX tolerates VL > VCC during power-up without damage (per Absolute Maximum Ratings). However, for functional correctness, VL must not exceed VCC + 0.3V in steady state. When VL powers first, the device remains non-operational until VCC is applied; no latch-up occurs, and leakage stays below 10µA per I/O.
What is the purpose of the 1.0µF capacitor required on the VCC supply?
The 1.0µF ceramic capacitor on VCC (in addition to the mandatory 0.1µF) is required to achieve full ±15kV Human Body Model ESD protection on I/O VCC pins. It provides low-impedance charge reservoir during fast ESD transients, preventing voltage overshoot beyond the clamp threshold of internal protection structures.
Can the MAX13101EEBX translate between 1.2V and 5.5V logic domains?
Yes. The MAX13101EEBX supports VL as low as +1.2V and VCC as high as +5.5V, enabling direct translation between ultra-low-voltage logic (e.g., advanced-node ASICs) and legacy 5V systems. Ratiometric input thresholds (VIHC = 2/3×VCC, VIHL = 2/3×VL) ensure robust noise margins across this full range.
