Product details
Overview
MAX3005EBP from Maxim Integrated is an 8-channel unidirectional voltage-level translator enabling bidirectional data flow between +1.2V to +5.5V logic domains (VL) and +1.65V to +5.5V systems (VCC), with guaranteed 20Mbps data rate, ±15kV HBM ESD protection on VCC-side I/Os, and ultra-low 0.1µA shutdown current. It serves in portable communication interfaces where mixed-voltage SPI/MICROWIRE signal routing requires robust, low-power level shifting.
For engineers reviewing the MAX3005EBP datasheet, MAX3005EBP pinout, MAX3005EBP application, or MAX3005EBP equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, package mapping to 4×5 UCSP, functional pin roles, real-world use cases in smart card readers and GPS modules, and two validated alternative parts with precise technical and application differences.
Technical Context
The MAX3005EBP implements unidirectional level translation (VL → VCC only) using a one-shot accelerator output stage that activates only during signal transitions-reducing dynamic power while achieving 20Mbps throughput. Its EN input controls channel enablement with asymmetric shutdown behavior: when EN = low, IVCC1 and OVCC2–OVCC8 enter three-state, while OVL1 and IVL2–IVL8 engage internal 6kΩ pulldowns.
It operates across VL = +1.2V to +5.5V and VCC = +1.65V to +5.5V, with input thresholds at 1/3 and 2/3 of respective supply rails (VIHL/VILL = 1/3VL & 2/3VL; VIHC/VILC = 1/3VCC & 2/3VCC), ensuring noise-immune switching across wide voltage combinations without external biasing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Data Rate | 20Mbps guaranteed over full VL/VCC operating range - supports high-speed SPI clocking up to 10MHz with margin. |
| Supply Range (VL) | +1.2V to +5.5V - enables direct interfacing with 1.2V, 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V, and 5V ASIC/PLD I/Os. |
| Supply Range (VCC) | +1.65V to +5.5V - ensures compatibility with legacy 3.3V/5V microcontrollers and bus controllers. |
| ESD Protection | ±15kV HBM on I/O VCC pins - eliminates need for external TVS diodes in handheld device I/O routing. |
| Shutdown Current | <0.1µA (VCC and VL) - enables battery-powered operation with negligible quiescent drain during sleep mode. |
| Propagation Delay | 15ns max (I/OVL→I/OVCC, CL=15pF) - meets timing budgets for 20Mbps NRZ signaling with <5% jitter contribution. |
| Channel-to-Channel Skew | 5ns max - preserves signal integrity across parallel data buses like memory-mapped GPIO or multi-line SPI. |
Pinout & Package
The MAX3005EBP is packaged in a 4×5 mm, 20-bump UCSP™ (Ultra Compact Silicon Package) with exposed pad (EP) for thermal and electrical grounding. Bump pitch is 0.5mm; recommended solder profile complies with JEDEC J-STD-020.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| I/O VL1–I/O VL8 | VL-referenced inputs/outputs | Accept 1.2V–5.5V logic signals; drive VL-side loads with rail-to-rail swing (VOHL = VL−0.4V, VOLL = 0.4V). |
| I/O VCC1–I/O VCC8 | VCC-referenced inputs/outputs | Translate and drive VCC-side logic; VOHC = VCC−0.4V, VOLC = 0.4V - compatible with CMOS/TTL thresholds. |
| EN | Enable control input | Pulled low disables IVCC1 & OVCC2–OVCC8 (three-state); asserts 6kΩ pulldown on OVL1 & IVL2–IVL8 - selective bus isolation. |
| VL | Low-voltage domain supply | +1.2V to +5.5V reference; bypass to GND with 0.1µF capacitor - critical for noise immunity and stable threshold generation. |
| VCC | High-voltage domain supply | +1.65V to +5.5V reference; bypass to GND with 0.1µF capacitor - sets output logic levels and ESD clamp reference. |
| GND / EP | Ground reference & thermal pad | Common return path; exposed pad must be soldered to PCB ground plane for EMI suppression and thermal dissipation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Unidirectional VL→VCC translation | Eliminates direction-control logic and reduces PCB routing complexity vs. bidirectional translators. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar level translation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TXB0108RKL | Bidirectional architecture; auto-direction sensing; 1.2V–3.6V I/O range; no ±15kV ESD rating. | Suitable for bidirectional buses (I²C, SMBus); not rated for harsh ESD environments like handheld peripherals. | Select when bidirectional operation is mandatory and ESD stress is below 8kV HBM. |
| SN74AVC8T245RHLR | Unidirectional with direction pin; 1.2V–3.6V I/O; 24mA drive strength; no integrated pulldown on disable. | Requires external pull-downs for bus hold; higher drive capability suits noisy industrial backplanes. | Select when higher output current (>12mA) and explicit direction control are needed. |
Compared with TXB0108RKL and SN74AVC8T245RHLR, the MAX3005EBP uniquely combines 20Mbps unidirectional translation, 1.2V VL support, ±15kV ESD hardening, and asymmetric EN-controlled shutdown - making it optimal for compact, battery-powered, ESD-prone portable interfaces where partial bus retention matters.

FAQ
What is the maximum data rate supported by the MAX3005EBP?
The MAX3005EBP guarantees 20Mbps operation across its full VL (+1.2V to +5.5V) and VCC (+1.65V to +5.5V) operating ranges. At optimized conditions (VL = VCC = 2.5V, CL = 15pF), timing characterization shows propagation delay ≤15ns and channel skew ≤5ns - confirming reliable 20Mbps NRZ performance in real PCB layouts. The MAX3005EBP achieves this using a one-shot accelerator output stage activated only during signal transitions.
Does the MAX3005EBP support bidirectional level translation?
No, the MAX3005EBP is a unidirectional level translator designed exclusively for VL → VCC signal flow. Unlike the MAX3000E/MAX3001E/MAX3002/MAX3003, it does not support automatic bidirectional operation. Its EN pin enables selective channel control: pulling EN low places IVCC1 and OVCC2–OVCC8 in three-state while asserting 6kΩ pulldowns on OVL1 and IVL2–IVL8 - a feature tailored for asymmetric bus isolation in portable systems.
What package type is used for the MAX3005EBP?
The MAX3005EBP uses a 4×5 mm, 20-bump UCSP™ (Ultra Compact Silicon Package) with an exposed thermal pad (EP). This leadless, bottom-terminated package has 0.5mm bump pitch and requires Type III solder paste and reflow per JEDEC J-STD-020. The exposed pad must be soldered to a solid PCB ground plane to ensure proper thermal dissipation and EMI suppression - critical for maintaining ±15kV ESD performance.
How does the EN pin function on the MAX3005EBP?
On the MAX3005EBP, the EN pin provides asymmetric shutdown control: when pulled low, IVCC1 and OVCC2–OVCC8 enter high-impedance three-state, while OVL1 and IVL2–IVL8 activate internal 6kΩ pulldown resistors. This configuration retains partial VL-side bus state during sleep - enabling wake-on-event functionality in portable devices. Driving EN high (to VL) restores full 8-channel translation in both directions (VL ↔ VCC) as defined by the unidirectional architecture.
Is ±15kV ESD protection available on all I/O pins of the MAX3005EBP?
±15kV Human Body Model (HBM) ESD protection applies only to the I/O VCC pins (I/O VCC1–I/O VCC8) of the MAX3005EBP, as confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Features sections of the official datasheet. The I/O VL pins (I/O VL1–I/O VL8) are not rated to ±15kV - they meet standard industry ESD levels (typically ±2kV HBM). This asymmetry reflects the device's intended use: VCC-side I/Os connect to external connectors and cables (high ESD risk), while VL-side I/Os interface internally to low-voltage ICs (lower risk).
