Features
VL
The MAX3394E/MAX3395E/MAX3396E bidirectional level
translators provide level shifting required for data transfer
in a multivoltage 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, thermal-shutdown protection, and
±15kV Human Body Model (HBM) ESD protection on the
VCC side for greater protection in applications that route
signals externally.
The MAX3394E/MAX3395E/MAX3396E accept VCC voltages from +1.65V to +5.5V, and VL voltages from +1.2V
to VCC, making them ideal for data transfer between low
voltage ASIC/PLDs and higher voltage systems. The
MAX3394E/MAX3395E/MAX3396E operate at a guaranteed data rate of 6Mbps with push-pull drivers and 1Mbps
with open-drain drivers.
The MAX3394E is a dual-level translator available in
9-bump UCSP™ and 8-pin 3mm x 3mm TDFN packages.
The MAX3395E is a quad-level translator available in
12-bump UCSP, and 12-pin 4mm x 4mm TQFN packages. The MAX3396E is an octal-level translator available in
20-bump UCSP and 20-pin 5mm x 5mm TQFN packages.
The MAX3394E/MAX3395E/MAX3396E operate over the
extended -40°C to +85°C temperature range.

Note 1: All units are 100% production tested at TA = +25°C. Limits over the operating temperature range are guaranteed by design
and not production tested.
Note 2: During a low-to-high transition, the threshold at which the I/O changes state is the lower of VILL and VILC since the two
sides are internally connected by an internal switch while the device is in the logic-low state.

Detailed Description
The MAX3394E/MAX3395E/MAX3396E bidirectional level
translators provide level shifting required for data transfer
in a multivoltage 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 push-pull or open-drain drivers.

Figure 2. Open-Drain Driving I/O VL_ Test Circuit and Timing
The MAX3394E/MAX3395E/MAX3396E feature a tristate output mode, thermal-shutdown protection, and
±15kV Human Body Model (HBM) ESD protection on the
VCC side for greater protection in applications that route
signals externally.
The MAX3394E/MAX3395E/MAX3396E accept VCC voltages from +1.65V to +5.5V, and VL voltages from +1.2V
to VCC, making them ideal for data transfer between
low-voltage ASIC/PLDs and higher voltage systems. The
MAX3394E/MAX3395E/MAX3396E operate at a guaran-

teed data rate of 6Mbps with push-pull drivers and 1Mbps
with open-drain drivers.
Level Translation
The MAX3394E/MAX3395E/MAX3396E utilize a transmission gate architecture to provide bidirectional level
translation between I/O VL_ and I/O VCC_. The transmission gate architecture is comprised of a pass-FET,
gate-control logic, and slew-rate enhancement circuitry.
When both I/O VL_ and I/O VCC_ are logic high,
the gate-control logic disables the pass-FET, providing

capacitive isolation between I/O lines. When one or both
I/O lines are at a logic-low level, the gate-control logic
turns the pass-FET on. When the pass-FET is active, I/O
VL_ and I/O VCC_ are connected, allowing the logic-low
signal to be expressed simultaneously on both I/O lines.
The MAX3394E/MAX3395E/MAX3396E have internal
10kΩ (typ) pullup resistors from I/O VL_ and I/O VCC_
to the respective supply voltages, allowing operation
with open-drain drivers. Internal slew-rate enhancement
circuitry accelerates logic-state transitions, maintaining a fast data rate with a higher bus load capacitance.
Additionally, the 10mA current sink drivers permit the use
of smaller external pullup resistors.
www.maximintegrated.com
Internal Slew-Rate Enhancement
Internal slew-rate enhancement circuitry accelerates logic-state changes by turning on MOSFETs MP1 and MP2
during low-to-high logic transitions, and MOSFETs MN3
and MN4 during high-to-low logic transitions (see the
Functional Diagram). During logic-state changes, speedup MOSFETS are triggered by I/O line voltage thresholds.
MOSFETS MN3 and MN4 sink 10mA during high-to-low
logic transitions. MP1 and MP2 source 15mA during lowto-high logic transitions. Slew-rate enhancement allows
a fast data rate despite large capacitive bus loads, and
permits larger external pullup resistors.

Power-Supply Sequencing
The MAX3394E/MAX3395E/MAX3396E require two supply voltages. For proper operation, ensure that +1.65V ≤
VCC ≤ +5.5V, and +1.2V ≤ VL ≤ VCC. There are no restrictions on power-supply sequencing. During power-up or
power-down, the MAX3394E/MAX3395E/MAX3396E can
withstand either the VL or the VCC supply floating while
the other supply is applied. The device will not latch up in
this state.
www.maximintegrated.com
Tri-State Output Mode
Connect EN to VL or VCC for normal operation. Drive EN
low to force the MAX3394E/MAX3395E/MAX3396E to a
tri-state output mode. In tri-state output mode, all I/O lines
are driven to a high-impedance state, and the pass-FET
is disabled to prevent current flow between I/O lines. Tristate output mode disables the internal pullup resistors on
I/O VL_ and I/O VCC_, and reduces supply current to 3μA
typ (VCC) and 0.7μA typ (VL).

CURRENT WAVEFORM
Figure 6a. Human Body ESD Test Model
Figure 6b. HBM Discharge Current Waveform
The high-impedance state of the I/O lines during tri-state
output mode facilitates use in multidrop networks. In tristate output mode, do not exceed (VL + 0.3V) on I/O VL_
or (VCC + 0.3V) on I/O VCC_.
To ensure full ±15kV ESD protection, bypass VCC to
ground with a 0.1μF ceramic capacitor and an additional
1μF ceramic capacitor as close to the device as possible.
Thermal-Shutdown Protection
ESD performance depends on a variety of conditions.
Contact Maxim for a reliability report documenting test
setup, methodology, and results.
The MAX3394E/MAX3395E/MAX3396E are protected
from thermal damage resulting from short-circuit faults. In
the event of a short-circuit fault, when the junction temperature (TJ) reaches +125°C, a thermal sensor forces
the device into the tri-state output mode. When TJ drops
below +115°C, normal operation resumes.
±15kV ESD Protection
As with all Maxim devices, ESD-protection structures are
incorporated on all pins to protect against ESD encountered during handling and assembly. The I/O VCC_ lines
are further protected by advanced ESD structures to
guard these pins from damage caused by ESD of up to
±15kV. Protection structures prevent damage caused by
ESD events in normal operation, tri-state output mode,
and when the device is unpowered. After arresting an
ESD event, MAX3394E/MAX3395E/MAX3396E continue
to function without latching up, whereas competing devices can enter a latched-up state and must be power cycled
to restore functionality.
Several ESD testing standards exist for gauging the
robustness of ESD structures. The ESD protection of
the MAX3394E/MAX3395E/MAX3396E is characterized
for the human body model (HBM). Figure 6a shows the
model used to simulate an ESD event resulting from contact with the human body. The model consists of a 100pF
storage capacitor that is charged to a high voltage then
discharged through a 1.5kΩ resistor. Figure 6b shows
the current waveform when the storage capacitor is discharged into a low impedance.

ESD Test Conditions
Applications Information
Power-Supply Decoupling
Bypass VL and VCC to ground with 0.1μF ceramic capacitors. To ensure full ±15kV ESD protection, bypass VCC to
ground with an additional 1μF or greater ceramic capacitor. Place all capacitors as close to the device as possible.
Open-Drain Mode vs. Push-Pull Mode
The MAX3394E/MAX3395E/MAX3396E are compatible
with push-pull (active) and open-drain drivers. For pushpull operation, maximum data rate is guaranteed to
6Mbps. For open-drain applications, the MAX3394E/
MAX3395E/MAX3396E include internal pullup resistors
and slew-rate enhancement circuitry, providing a maximum data rate of 1Mbps. External pullup resistors can
be added to increase data rate when the bus is loaded
by high capacitance. (See the Use of External Pullup
Resistors section.)
Serial-Interface Level Translation
The MAX3395E provides level translation on four I/O
lines, making it an ideal device for multivoltage I2C,
MICROWIRE, and SPI serial interfaces.
Use of External Pullup Resistors
The MAX3394E/MAX3395E/MAX3396E include internal
10kΩ pullup resistors. During a low-to-high logic transition, the internal pullup resistors charge the bus capaci-

the low-to-high transition threshold (VCC-TH or VLTH) is
