General Description
The MAX3394E/MAX3395E/MAX3396E bidirectional level translators provide level shifting required for data transfer in a multi
voltage system. Internal slew-rate enhancement circuitry features 10mA current-sink and 15mA currentsource drivers to isolate capacitive loads from lower current drivers. In open-drain systems, slew-rate enhancement enables fast data rates with larger pullup resistors and increased bus load capacitance. Externally applied
voltages, VCC and VL, set the logic-high levels for the device. A logic-low signal on one I/O side of the device appears as a logic-low signal on the opposite I/O side, and vice-versa. Each I/O line is pulled up to VCC or VL by an internal pullup resistor, allowing the devices to be driven by either pushpull or open-drain drivers.
The MAX3394E/MAX3395E/MAX3396E feature a tristate output mode, therm...
