Product details
Overview
MAX1740EUB+T from Maxim Integrated is a SIM/smart card level translator IC providing bidirectional data, unidirectional clock/reset level shifting, ±10kV HBM ESD protection on all card-contact pins, and shutdown control for safe card insertion/removal in GSM handsets and smart card readers. It operates with DVCC = +1.425V to +5.5V (controller side) and VCC = +2.25V to +5.5V (card side), drawing ≤2.5µA quiescent current.
For engineers reviewing the MAX1740EUB+T datasheet, MAX1740EUB+T pinout, MAX1740EUB+T application, or MAX1740EUB+T equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, validated µMAX-10 pin mapping, real-world SIM interface timing behavior, and confirmed alternatives for multivoltage smart card system design.
Technical Context
The MAX1740EUB+T integrates three dedicated level-shifting paths: CIN→CLK and RIN→RST (unidirectional controller-to-card), and DATA↔IO (bidirectional with internal 20kΩ pull-up to DVCC and 10kΩ pull-up to VCC). Its transfer-gate architecture supports level translation regardless of DVCC ≥ VCC or DVCC ≤ VCC relationships.
Shutdown is activated by driving SHDN low (MAX1740-specific), forcing CLK, RST, and IO actively low while disabling the DATA–IO transfer gate and reducing total supply current to ≤0.01µA. All card-side pins (CLK, RST, IO, VCC, GND) meet ±10kV HBM ESD per GSM 11.11/11.12.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| DVCC Range | +1.425V to +5.5V - supports 1.8V/2.5V/3.3V/5V controller logic without external level shifters |
| VCC Range | +2.25V to +5.5V - matches standard SIM/smart card voltage requirements (3V/5V) |
| Total Quiescent Current | ≤2.5µA - enables ultra-low-power operation in battery-powered mobile handsets |
| Shutdown Current | ≤0.01µA - ensures zero-load state during SIM hot-swap, preventing card damage |
| ESD Protection | ±10kV HBM on CLK/RST/IO/VCC/GND - satisfies GSM 11.11/11.12 compliance for field-reliable deployment |
| Max CLK Frequency | 5MHz at VCC = 2.7V–5.5V - supports full-speed SIM clocking up to 5MHz (GSM Class 10) |
| DATA Pull-Up | 13–28kΩ to DVCC - provides robust open-drain termination for I²C-/SPI-like bidirectional protocols |
Pinout & Package
MAX1740EUB+T is housed in a 10-pin µMAX package (3.0mm × 3.0mm × 1.09mm), RoHS-compliant, no exposed pad.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - DATA | Controller-side bidirectional I/O | Open-drain I/O with 20kΩ internal pull-up to DVCC; connects to microcontroller DATA line; requires external open-drain driver or DDRV (MAX1741 only) |
| 2 - IO | Card-side bidirectional I/O | Open-drain I/O with 10kΩ internal pull-up to VCC; connects directly to SIM card I/O pin; actively pulled low in shutdown |
| 3 - VCC | Card-side power supply | +2.25V to +5.5V input powering card-side outputs (CLK, RST, IO); bypass capacitor required for ESD compliance |
| 4 - CLK | Card-side clock output | Unidirectional level-shifted output driven from CIN; actively pulled low during shutdown; meets SIM clock timing specs |
| 5 - RST | Card-side reset output | Unidirectional level-shifted output driven from RIN; actively pulled low during shutdown; ensures safe card reset sequencing |
| 6 - GND | System ground reference | Common return for both controller and card domains; must be low-impedance connection to meet ESD path requirements |
| 7 - CIN | Controller clock input | Logic-level input referenced to DVCC; drives CLK output; accepts 1.425V–5.5V swing; 5ns rise/fall time compatible |
| 8 - RIN | Controller reset input | Logic-level input referenced to DVCC; drives RST output; same voltage range and timing as CIN |
| 9 - DVCC | Controller-side power supply | +1.425V to +5.5V input powering controller-side circuitry (DATA, CIN, RIN, SHDN); decoupling mandatory |
| 10 - SHDN | Shutdown enable input | Active-low control (MAX1740 only); drives device into <0.01µA state; pulls CLK/RST/IO low and disables DATA–IO path |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bidirectional DATA–IO level translation | Enables full-duplex SIM communication across mismatched DVCC/VCC rails (e.g., 1.8V MCU ↔ 3V SIM) without external transceivers |
| ±10kV HBM ESD on card-contact pins | Eliminates need for discrete TVS diodes on CLK/RST/IO/VCC/GND, reducing BOM count and PCB area in space-constrained handsets |
| Automatic shutdown on supply loss | Guarantees safe state if DVCC or VCC fails - CLK/RST/IO forced low, preventing back-drive or latch-up during brownout |
| SHDN-controlled hot-swap support | Allows live SIM insertion/removal by asserting SHDN before physical contact, satisfying GSM mechanical safety requirements |
| GSM 11.11/11.12 compliance | Validated for use in certified GSM cellular telephones without additional qualification testing for SIM interface section |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar SIM/smart card level translation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX1741EUB+T | Replaces SHDN with DDRV input; adds system-side push-pull data driver for MCUs lacking open-drain outputs | Required when controller uses push-pull DATA output instead of open-drain; not pin-compatible due to DDRV vs SHDN pin swap | Select MAX1741EUB+T only if host MCU lacks open-drain capability on DATA line; otherwise MAX1740EUB+T is preferred for simpler control |
| MAX3232ESE+ | RS-232 transceiver with ±15kV ESD; no integrated SIM-level translation logic or shutdown control | Not suitable for SIM interface - lacks bidirectional DATA/IO path, GSM timing compliance, or VCC/DVCC dual-rail support | Not a functional alternative; included only as common mis-selection - verify SIM-specific function before substitution |
Compared with MAX1741EUB+T, MAX1740EUB+T offers simpler shutdown control but requires an open-drain controller DATA output; compared with MAX3232ESE+, MAX1740EUB+T delivers purpose-built SIM signal conditioning with validated GSM compliance and sub-µA power states.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the MAX1740EUB+T?
The MAX1740EUB+T supports a maximum CLK frequency of 5MHz when VCC is between 2.7V and 5.5V, with output duty cycle maintained between 40% and 60%. At lower VCC (2.25V–3.6V), the max frequency is 4MHz. These values are guaranteed by design per the datasheet timing specifications.
Does the MAX1740EUB+T require external pull-up resistors on the DATA or IO lines?
No. The MAX1740EUB+T integrates a 20kΩ pull-up resistor from DATA to DVCC and a 10kΩ pull-up resistor from IO to VCC. These internal terminations eliminate the need for external components in standard open-drain SIM interfaces, reducing BOM cost and board area.
How does the MAX1740EUB+T handle power loss on either DVCC or VCC supply rail?
The MAX1740EUB+T automatically enters shutdown mode when either DVCC or VCC is removed. In this state, CLK, RST, and IO are actively pulled low, the DATA–IO transfer gate is disabled, and total supply current drops to ≤0.01µA - preventing back-driving or latch-up during brownout conditions.
Is the MAX1740EUB+T compliant with GSM 11.11 and 11.12 test specifications?
Yes. The MAX1740EUB+T is explicitly stated in its datasheet as compliant with GSM test specifications 11.11 and 11.12, covering SIM mechanical, electrical, and ESD requirements - including ±10kV HBM protection on all card-contact pins (CLK, RST, IO, VCC, GND).
Can the MAX1740EUB+T be used with a 1.425V controller supply (DVCC)?
Yes. The MAX1740EUB+T supports DVCC down to +1.425V, enabling direct interface with ultra-low-voltage microcontrollers (e.g., 1.4V–1.8V core logic). All logic inputs (CIN, RIN, SHDN) and outputs (DATA) remain fully functional across this range, with VIH/VIL thresholds scaling proportionally to DVCC.
