Product details
Overview
MAX3002EBP+T from Maxim Integrated is an 8-channel bidirectional logic-level translator IC enabling voltage translation between +1.2V to +5.5V (VL) and +1.65V to +5.5V (VCC) domains without direction control pins. It supports guaranteed 20Mbps data rate, ±15kV HBM ESD protection on I/O VCC lines, ultra-low 0.1µA shutdown current, and operates across –40°C to +85°C. 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 timing performance at 1.8V–3.3V rails, EN-controlled three-state output mode, and UCSP-20 package compatibility with high-density portable designs.
Technical Context
The MAX3002EBP+T uses a passive-bidirectional architecture that enables automatic signal flow in either direction (VL ↔ VCC) per channel, eliminating need for external direction control. Its one-shot accelerator output stage activates only during signal transitions, reducing dynamic power while achieving sub-15ns propagation delay (I/OVL→VCC and I/OVCC→VL) under 15pF load at 1.8V–3.3V.
It features independent VL and VCC supply domains with rail-to-rail input thresholds (VIHL = 2/3×VL, VIHC = 2/3×VCC), internal 6kΩ pulldown resistors on VL-side I/Os during EN=low, and guaranteed operation with VL ≤ VCC - tolerating VL ≥ VCC during power-up without damage or latch-up.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Channels | 8 independent bidirectional level-shifting channels |
| Max Data Rate | 20Mbps over full voltage range; up to 35Mbps at +1.8V ≤ VL ≤ VCC ≤ +2.5V |
| Supply Range VL | +1.2V to +5.5V - supports 1.2V, 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V, 5V logic domains |
| Supply Range VCC | +1.65V to +5.5V - ensures compatibility with 1.8V+ systems and avoids under-voltage lockout |
| ESD Protection | ±15kV HBM on I/O VCC pins - eliminates need for external TVS in handheld interface routing |
| Shutdown Current | <0.1µA total (VCC + VL) when EN = low - enables battery-critical always-on subsystems |

Pinout & Package
MAX3002EBP+T is packaged in a 20-bump UCSP (Ultra Compact Silicon Package), 2.1mm × 2.1mm, 0.5mm pitch, with exposed pad (EP) connected to GND for thermal and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| I/O VL1–I/O VL8 | Bidirectional I/O referenced to VL | Accept 1.2V–5.5V inputs; drive VL-rail outputs; auto-sense direction per channel |
| I/O VCC1–I/O VCC8 | Bidirectional I/O referenced to VCC | Accept VCC-rail inputs; drive VCC-rail outputs; match VL-side logic state with level shift |
| VL | Low-voltage domain supply | Must be bypassed with 0.1µF capacitor; sets input threshold (VIHL/VILL) and output swing on VL side |
| VCC | High-voltage domain supply | Must be bypassed with 0.1µF capacitor; defines VIHC/VILC thresholds and VCC-side output levels |
| 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 domains; EP must be soldered to GND plane for thermal stability |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar level translation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TXS0108E | 8-channel, 3.6V max VCC, no ±15kV ESD rating, requires external pull-ups for weak-drive scenarios | Lacks integrated ESD protection; requires board-level TVS for handheld use cases | Preferred where cost sensitivity outweighs ESD robustness and layout space allows discrete protection |
| SN74AVC8T245 | Unidirectional (direction-pin controlled), 3.6V max VCC, 24mA drive strength, no guaranteed 20Mbps timing spec | Requires direction control logic and cannot support true bidirectional protocols like I²C without external circuitry | Selected when high-current drive (>12mA) is needed and direction is statically determined per bus segment |

FAQ
What is the maximum guaranteed data rate for MAX3002EBP+T?
The MAX3002EBP+T guarantees 20Mbps operation across its full specified voltage range (+1.2V ≤ VL ≤ VCC ≤ +5.5V). At narrower ranges - e.g., +1.8V ≤ VL ≤ VCC ≤ +2.5V - it achieves up to 30Mbps, and at +2.5V ≤ VL ≤ VCC ≤ +3.3V, up to 35Mbps. These values are production-tested and documented in the Timing Characteristics table of the MAX3002EBP+T datasheet.
Does MAX3002EBP+T require a direction control pin?
No, MAX3002EBP+T does not require a direction control pin. It uses a proprietary passive-bidirectional architecture that automatically detects signal direction per channel (VL ↔ VCC), enabling true bidirectional data flow on each of its eight channels without external control logic or timing constraints.
What package type is used for MAX3002EBP+T?
MAX3002EBP+T is supplied in a 20-bump UCSP (Ultra Compact Silicon Package), measuring 2.1mm × 2.1mm with 0.5mm pitch and an exposed thermal pad (EP) that must be soldered to GND. This package supports high-density layouts typical in smartphones, wearables, and portable medical devices.
How does the EN pin function on MAX3002EBP+T?
When EN is pulled low, MAX3002EBP+T places all eight I/O VCC pins in high-impedance (three-state) mode and activates internal 6kΩ pulldown resistors on all eight I/O VL pins. This enables clean bus isolation during sleep or fault conditions while consuming less than 0.1µA total supply current - critical for battery-operated systems.
Is MAX3002EBP+T compatible with 1.2V logic on the VL side?
Yes, MAX3002EBP+T fully supports VL down to +1.2V, with verified operation including input thresholds (VIHL = 2/3×VL ≈ 0.8V, VILL = 1/3×VL ≈ 0.4V) and output drive capability. This makes it suitable for interfacing with advanced low-power ASICs and next-generation 1.2V I/O standards in portable electronics.
