Product details
Overview
MAX3002EBP-T from Maxim Integrated is an 8-channel bidirectional logic-level translator IC enabling voltage translation between +1.2V and +5.5V domains without direction control pins. It supports guaranteed 20Mbps data rate across full operating voltage range, features ±15kV HBM ESD protection on VCC-side I/Os, and operates from -40°C to +85°C in ultra-compact 4×5 UCSP package. It is used in SPI/MICROWIRE interfaces between low-voltage ASICs and 3.3V/5V systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX3002EBP-T datasheet, MAX3002EBP-T pinout, MAX3002EBP-T application, or MAX3002EBP-T equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional operation without direction pin, 20Mbps minimum data rate at 1.8V–3.3V, <2µA shutdown current, ±15kV ESD rating on VCC I/Os, and UCSP package compatibility with high-density portable designs.
Technical Context
The MAX3002EBP-T implements a passive-bidirectional architecture that automatically senses signal direction on each channel-no external direction control required. It uses dual-rail supply inputs (VL = +1.2V to +5.5V, VCC = +1.65V to +5.5V) with independent threshold referencing (VIHL/VILL = 2/3 VL & 1/3 VL; VIHC/VILC = 2/3 VCC & 1/3 VCC).
Its EN input enables three-state output mode on all eight VCC-side I/Os while activating 6kΩ pulldowns on VL-side I/Os. Timing performance is load-dependent: propagation delay ≤20ns (I/OVL→I/OVCC), rise/fall times ≤15ns (at CL = 15pF, VCC/VL = 1.8V–3.3V), and channel-to-channel skew ≤5ns under matched loading.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Channels | 8 independent bidirectional level-shifting channels |
| Max Data Rate | 20Mbps guaranteed over full voltage range; up to 35Mbps at +1.8V≤VL≤VCC≤+2.5V |
| Supply Range | VL: +1.2V to +5.5V; VCC: +1.65V to +5.5V - supports 1.2V/1.8V/2.5V/3.3V/5V domain bridging |

Pinout & Package
MAX3002EBP-T is housed in a 4×5 mm, 20-bump UCSP (Ultra Compact Silicon Package) with exposed pad. Bump pitch is 0.5mm; recommended solder mask opening matches bump layout per Maxim's UCSP guidelines. Thermal pad must be connected to GND for optimal power dissipation and EMI performance.
| 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); auto-sense direction; tolerate VL as low as +1.2V |
| I/O VCC1–I/O VCC8 | VCC-referenced bidirectional I/O | Connect to higher-voltage domain (e.g., 3.3V microcontroller); provide ±15kV ESD robustness |
| VL | Low-voltage supply input | Bypass to GND with 0.1µF capacitor; sets logic thresholds for VL-side I/Os |
| VCC | High-voltage supply input | Bypass to GND with 0.1µF capacitor; defines output swing and input thresholds for VCC-side I/Os |
| EN | Enable control input | Pull low to place all I/O VCC pins in high-impedance state and activate 6kΩ pulldowns on I/O VL pins |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return for both supply rails; connect exposed pad directly to PCB ground plane |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

| 20Mbps guaranteed rate | Meets timing requirements of high-speed SPI, MICROWIRE, and UART links between mixed-voltage SoCs |
| ±15kV HBM ESD | Protects VCC-side I/Os against handling and system-level ESD events - eliminates external protection components |
| UCSP package | 4×5 mm footprint with 0.5mm pitch - enables miniaturization in space-constrained portable electronics |
| Sub-2µA shutdown | Enables always-on system architectures with wake-on-event capability while preserving battery life |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar level translation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TXB0108RSLR | Auto-direction sensing with 3.3V-only VCCA; no ±15kV ESD on I/Os; 100Mbps max but requires ≥1.65V VCCB | Best for high-speed 3.3V↔1.8V translation where ESD robustness is handled externally | Select when higher speed is needed and board-level ESD protection is already implemented |
| SN74AVC8T245RHLR | Unidirectional with direction pin; 3.6V max VCC; no integrated ESD protection; 32mA drive strength | Suitable for fixed-direction buses like parallel memory interfaces where direction is static | Choose when precise output drive control is required and direction logic is available in system firmware |
Compared with TXB0108RSLR and SN74AVC8T245RHLR, the MAX3002EBP-T uniquely combines true bidirectionality without direction pin, ±15kV HBM ESD on VCC I/Os, and guaranteed 20Mbps operation down to +1.2V VL - making it optimal for compact, ESD-prone, mixed-voltage portable interfaces.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed maximum data rate for MAX3002EBP-T?
The MAX3002EBP-T guarantees 20Mbps operation across its entire specified voltage range (+1.2V ≤ VL ≤ VCC ≤ +5.5V). At optimized conditions (+1.8V ≤ VL ≤ VCC ≤ +2.5V), it supports up to 30Mbps, and at +2.5V ≤ VL ≤ VCC ≤ +3.3V, up to 35Mbps - verified per Maxim's Timing Characteristics table for MAX3002–MAX3012.
Does MAX3002EBP-T require a direction control signal?
No, the MAX3002EBP-T does not require a direction control signal. It uses a proprietary passive-bidirectional architecture that automatically detects signal direction on each of its eight channels - eliminating firmware overhead and PCB routing for direction pins, unlike unidirectional translators such as SN74AVC8T245RHLR.
What ESD protection level does MAX3002EBP-T provide?
The MAX3002EBP-T provides ±15kV Human Body Model (HBM) ESD protection on all I/O VCC pins - confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table and Detailed Description section. This protection is active in normal operation, three-state mode, and shutdown, and does not require external components.
Can MAX3002EBP-T operate with VL greater than VCC?
No - for proper operation, VL must be ≤ VCC per the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Detailed Description. However, the device is designed to tolerate VL ≥ VCC during power-up sequencing without damage, though functional translation is not guaranteed outside the VL ≤ VCC operating condition.
What is the shutdown current consumption of MAX3002EBP-T?
When EN is pulled low, the MAX3002EBP-T draws less than 2µA total supply current - combining both VCC and VL supplies - as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under "VCC Shutdown Supply Current" and "VL Shutdown Supply Current" parameters.
