Product details
Overview
MAX3000EEBP from Maxim Integrated is an 8-channel bidirectional logic-level translator IC designed for voltage-domain bridging between low-voltage (VL = +1.2V to +5.5V) and higher-voltage (VCC = +1.65V to +5.5V) digital systems. It operates at a guaranteed 230kbps data rate, features ±15kV HBM ESD protection on VCC-side I/Os, consumes only 0.1µA in shutdown mode, and requires no direction control pin. It is used in cellphone cradles and portable POS systems where robust, low-power level shifting between ASICs and 3.3V/5V peripherals is required.
For engineers reviewing the MAX3000EEBP datasheet, MAX3000EEBP pinout, MAX3000EEBP application, or MAX3000EEBP equivalent, key selection criteria include its bidirectional architecture without direction pin, guaranteed 230kbps throughput under 50pF load, ±15kV ESD rating on VCC I/Os, ultra-low 0.1µA shutdown current, and compatibility with UCSP package constraints in space-constrained portable designs.
Technical Context
The MAX3000EEBP employs a passive-bidirectional MOSFET-based translation architecture that enables automatic signal flow in either direction (VL ↔ VCC) per channel without external direction control. Its input thresholds are dynamically referenced to VL and VCC (VIHL/VILL = 2/3×VL and 1/3×VL; VIHC/VILC = 2/3×VCC and 1/3×VCC), ensuring reliable switching across wide voltage combinations.
It integrates an EN pin that places all eight VCC-side I/Os into high-impedance state while enabling 6kΩ pulldowns on VL-side I/Os during shutdown, reducing both VCC and VL supply currents to <2µA. The device supports full rail-to-rail operation and tolerates VL ≥ VCC during power-up without latch-up or damage.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Data Rate | Guaranteed 230kbps - ensures reliable SPI/MICROWIRE communication over 50pF loads at 25°C. |
| VL Supply Range | +1.2V to +5.5V - enables interface with 1.2V, 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V, or 5V logic domains on low-voltage side. |
| VCC Supply Range | +1.65V to +5.5V - supports translation up to 5V systems while maintaining compatibility with 1.8V–3.3V host controllers. |
| ESD Protection | ±15kV HBM on VCC-side I/Os - eliminates need for external TVS diodes in externally routed signal paths (e.g., USB/UART connectors). |
| Shutdown Current | 0.1µA max - reduces system standby power in battery-powered devices such as smart card readers and GPS modules. |
| Propagation Delay | 1000ns max (I/O VL → I/O VCC) - defines worst-case timing budget for synchronous protocols like SPI clocked at ≤230kHz. |
| Channel Count | 8 independent bidirectional channels - matches standard 8-bit parallel buses or dual 4-bit SPI interfaces without multiplexing. |
Pinout & Package
The MAX3000EEBP is packaged in a 4mm × 5mm, 20-bump UCSP™ (Ultra-Compact Silicon Package) with exposed pad (EP) for thermal grounding. Pin mapping follows the UCSP layout with VL and VCC power pins adjacent to GND for optimal decoupling, and I/O pairs arranged to minimize trace crosstalk in dense PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| I/O VL1–I/O VL8 | VL-referenced bidirectional I/O | Connect to low-voltage domain signals (e.g., 1.8V ASIC GPIO); automatically translate to VCC levels and vice versa. |
| I/O VCC1–I/O VCC8 | VCC-referenced bidirectional I/O | Interface directly with 3.3V/5V peripherals; no level-shifting buffer needed on host side. |
| VL | Low-voltage supply input | Must be bypassed with 0.1µF capacitor to GND; sets logic thresholds for VL-side I/Os. |
| VCC | High-voltage supply input | Must be bypassed with 0.1µF capacitor to GND; sets logic thresholds for VCC-side I/Os and powers internal circuitry. |
| EN | Enable control input | Pull low to disable VCC-side outputs (3-state) and activate 6kΩ pulldowns on VL-side I/Os for bus hold during sleep. |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return path for both domains; must connect to exposed pad (EP) for thermal and noise performance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar level translation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TXB0108PWR | Auto-direction sensing, 3.3V-only VCCA, supports 1.2V–3.6V VCCB; no ±15kV ESD rating. | Suitable for board-to-board translation within same PCB; not rated for external connector ESD stress. | Select when cost and auto-bidirectionality outweigh ESD requirements and multi-voltage flexibility. |
| SN74AVC8T245RHLR | Direction-controlled (DIR pin required), 1.2V–3.6V I/O range, 24mA drive strength; no integrated ESD protection. | Requires external ESD protection and direction logic; better for high-drive, unidirectional buses. | Select when driving heavy capacitive loads (>50pF) or requiring precise direction control in shared-bus arbitration. |
Compared with TXB0108PWR and SN74AVC8T245RHLR, the MAX3000EEBP uniquely combines true bidirectionality without direction pin, ±15kV ESD hardening on VCC I/Os, and support for VL as low as 1.2V with VCC up to 5.5V-making it optimal for ruggedized portable interfaces where space, ESD resilience, and voltage flexibility are co-critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum guaranteed data rate for the MAX3000EEBP?
The MAX3000EEBP is guaranteed to operate at 230kbps across its full specified temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) and voltage range (VL = +1.2V to +5.5V, VCC = +1.65V to +5.5V) with 50pF load capacitance. This rate is validated per the MAX3000E datasheet timing characteristics table and applies specifically to the MAX3000EEBP variant-not the faster MAX3001E or MAX3002–MAX3012 family members.
Does the MAX3000EEBP require a direction control signal?
No, the MAX3000EEBP uses a passive-bidirectional architecture that automatically handles signal flow in either direction (VL ↔ VCC) on each of its eight channels without any direction pin or control logic. This eliminates firmware overhead and PCB routing for direction management, distinguishing it from direction-controlled translators like the SN74AVC8T245RHLR.
What package type is used for the MAX3000EEBP?
The MAX3000EEBP is supplied in a 4mm × 5mm, 20-bump UCSP™ (Ultra-Compact Silicon Package) with exposed thermal pad. This package is explicitly listed in the Maxim ordering information as "B20-1" and is distinct from the TSSOP-20 (U20-3) and TQFN-20 variants offered for other members of the MAX3000E family.
Can the MAX3000EEBP tolerate VL greater than VCC during power-up?
Yes, the MAX3000EEBP is designed to withstand VL ≥ VCC during power sequencing without latch-up or damage, as confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Detailed Description sections of the datasheet. However, for normal operation, VL must be ≤ VCC to ensure correct logic threshold referencing and translation behavior.
What is the purpose of the EN pin on the MAX3000EEBP?
The EN pin on the MAX3000EEBP controls shutdown mode: when pulled low, it places all eight I/O VCCx pins in high-impedance (three-state) while activating internal 6kΩ pulldown resistors on all I/O VLx pins. This reduces both VCC and VL supply currents to <2µA, making it ideal for low-power sleep states in portable devices using the MAX3000EEBP.
