Product details
Overview
MAX3013EUP+ from Maxim Integrated is an 8-channel bidirectional logic-level translator IC designed for high-speed voltage domain bridging between low-voltage (VL = +1.2V to +3.2V) and higher-voltage (VCC = +1.65V to +3.6V) digital systems. It guarantees 100Mbps data transfer, features tristate enable (EN), consumes only 0.1µA in shutdown, and supports SPI/MICROWIRE bus translation in portable communication devices.
For engineers reviewing the MAX3013EUP+ datasheet, MAX3013EUP+ pinout, MAX3013EUP+ application, or MAX3013EUP+ equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 100Mbps operation at VL > +1.8V, bidirectional level shifting without inversion, ultra-low quiescent current, TSSOP-20 package compatibility, and precise input threshold ratios (VIHL = 2/3×VL, VIHC = 2/3×VCC).
Technical Context
The MAX3013EUP+ implements a one-shot accelerator output stage architecture that activates only during signal transitions on either VL- or VCC-side I/Os, minimizing static power while enabling fast edge rates. Its bidirectional operation requires no direction control line and maintains consistent logic thresholds referenced strictly to VL or VCC.
It supports asymmetric supply constraints: VL must be ≤ (VCC − 0.4V) during normal operation but tolerates VL ≥ VCC during power sequencing. Input drivers must provide <25Ω impedance and >20mA drive strength to ensure reliable one-shot triggering and sub-4ns rise/fall times into ≤40pF loads.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Data Rate | 100Mbps guaranteed minimum when VL > +1.8V; enables high-speed SPI/MICROWIRE interconnect between 1.8V ASICs and 3.3V peripherals. |
| Supply Voltage Range | VCC: +1.65V to +3.6V; VL: +1.2V to (VCC − 0.4V); allows flexible pairing of modern low-Vdd logic with legacy higher-voltage subsystems. |
| Shutdown Current | 0.1µA total (VCC + VL supplies) when EN = low; critical for battery-powered GPS and portable POS systems requiring zero-leakage sleep modes. |
| Input Thresholds | VIHL/VILL = 2/3×VL / 1/3×VL; VIHC/VILC = 2/3×VCC / 1/3×VCC; ensures robust noise margins across full VL/VCC operating ranges. |
| Rise/Fall Time | tRVCC/tFVCC ≤ 4ns (CIOVCC = 40pF); tRVL/tFVL ≤ 2.5ns (CIOVL = 15pF); meets timing budgets for 100Mbps NRZ signaling with margin. |
| Propagation Delay | I/OVL→VCC: 6.5ns max; I/OVCC→VL: 6ns max (CIO = 15pF); supports tight skew-critical parallel bus translation with ≤4ns part-to-part skew. |
| Output Impedance | I/OVL: 12.5Ω typical; I/OVCC: 18.5Ω typical; matches standard CMOS loads and minimizes reflections on controlled-impedance traces. |
Pinout & Package
The MAX3013EUP+ is housed in a 20-pin TSSOP package (5.0mm × 4.4mm, 0.65mm pitch) with exposed thermal pad (not electrically connected). Pin 1 is marked by a dot; pin numbering follows standard TSSOP convention (counterclockwise from top-left corner).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1–4, 7–10 | I/O VL1–VL4 / VL5–VL8 | Bidirectional data terminals referenced to VL supply; tolerate −0.3V to (VL + 0.3V); require no external direction control. |
| 5 | VL | Low-voltage supply input (+1.2V to VCC−0.4V); must be bypassed to GND with 0.1µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin. |
| 6 | EN | Active-low enable; drives all I/Os into high-impedance state when low; logic-high threshold is 2/3×VL; referenced to VL, not VCC. |
| 11–14, 17–20 | I/O VCC1–VCC4 / VCC5–VCC8 | Bidirectional data terminals referenced to VCC supply; tolerate −0.3V to (VCC + 0.3V); electrically isolated from VL domain. |
| 15 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference common to both domains; must be low-impedance connection shared with bypass capacitors. |
| 16 | VCC | High-voltage supply input (+1.65V to +3.6V); must be bypassed to GND with 0.1µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bidirectional level translation | Enables single-line, non-inverting voltage domain bridging (VL ↔ VCC) without external direction control or pull-ups. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bidirectional level translation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TXS0108E | 8-bit auto-direction-sensing translator; 32mA drive strength; 3.6V max VCC; no VL ≤ (VCC−0.4V) constraint. | Requires no EN pin; better suited for mixed-voltage I²C/SPI where direction changes dynamically; higher drive capability but larger quiescent current (10µA). | Select TXS0108E when automatic direction detection is required and VL/VCC differential constraint is incompatible with system power sequencing. |
| SN74AVC8T245 | 8-bit configurable unidirectional translator; 3.6V max VCC; 3-state outputs; direction pin required; 12mA drive. | Requires external direction control logic; supports higher data rates (>200Mbps) but lacks native bidirectionality and ultra-low shutdown current. | Select SN74AVC8T245 when strict unidirectional flow is acceptable and maximum speed (>150Mbps) outweighs EN-controlled tristate and 0.1µA shutdown needs. |
Compared with TXS0108E and SN74AVC8T245, the MAX3013EUP+ uniquely delivers guaranteed 100Mbps bidirectional translation with 0.1µA shutdown current and support for VL as low as +1.2V-making it optimal for space-constrained, battery-sensitive portable electronics where manual direction control is undesirable and power sequencing involves wide VL/VCC differentials.

FAQ
What is the minimum VL voltage supported by the MAX3013EUP+?
The MAX3013EUP+ supports VL down to +1.2V, enabling direct interface with advanced low-power ASICs and PLDs operating at 1.2V I/O standards. This specification is validated across the full −40°C to +85°C temperature range and is independent of VCC value as long as VL ≤ (VCC − 0.4V) during normal operation. The MAX3013EUP+ maintains full 100Mbps capability only when VL exceeds +1.8V.
Can the MAX3013EUP+ translate signals between 1.8V and 5V logic domains?
No, the MAX3013EUP+ cannot interface with 5V systems. Its absolute maximum VCC rating is +4.0V, and its specified VCC operating range is strictly +1.65V to +3.6V. Attempting to apply 5V to VCC violates absolute maximum ratings and risks permanent damage. For 1.8V-to-5V translation, discrete solutions or dedicated 5V-tolerant translators such as the MAX3372E series are required. The MAX3013EUP+ is optimized for sub-3.6V multivoltage systems.
How does the EN pin function on the MAX3013EUP+?
The EN pin on the MAX3013EUP+ is an active-low enable input referenced to the VL supply. When pulled low (≤1/3×VL), it places all 16 I/O pins (8 VL-side and 8 VCC-side) into high-impedance tristate mode and reduces total supply current to 0.1µA. During normal operation, EN must be driven to logic high at VL potential (≥2/3×VL). The MAX3013EUP+ does not support VCC-referenced EN logic levels.
What decoupling is required for stable operation of the MAX3013EUP+?
The MAX3013EUP+ requires separate 0.1µF ceramic bypass capacitors placed as close as possible to both the VL pin (Pin 5) and VCC pin (Pin 16), each connected directly to the GND pin (Pin 15). These capacitors suppress supply ripple and prevent data corruption during high-speed switching. No additional bulk capacitance is specified, but board-level power integrity practices (e.g., solid ground planes, short trace lengths) must be followed to maintain sub-4ns edge fidelity.
Is the MAX3013EUP+ pin-compatible with other MAX3013 package variants?
Yes, the MAX3013EUP+ (TSSOP-20), MAX3013EBP-T (5×4 UCSP), and MAX3013EGP (20-pin QFN-EP) share identical pin functions and electrical specifications. All three variants implement the same 8-channel bidirectional level translation architecture, identical EN behavior, and matching I/O voltage thresholds. Mechanical layout differs, but signal routing, power connections, and logic interface are fully interchangeable at the schematic level.
