MAX3372E–MAX3379E/
MAX3390E–MAX3393E
±15kV ESD-Protected, 1μA, 16Mbps, Dual/Quad
Low-Voltage Level Translators in UCSP
General Description
The MAX3372E–MAX3379E and MAX3390E–MAX3393E
±15kV ESD-protected level translators provide the level
shifting necessary to allow data transfer in a multivoltage system. Externally applied voltages, VCC and VL,
set the logic levels on either side of the device. A lowvoltage logic signal present on the VL side of the device
appears as a high-voltage logic signal on the VCC side of
the device, and vice-versa. The MAX3374E/MAX3375E/
MAX3376E/MAX3379E and MAX3390E–MAX3393E unidirectional level translators level shift data in one direction (VL → VCC or VCC → VL) on any single data line.
The MAX3372E/MAX3373E and MAX3377E/MAX3378E
bidirectional level translators utilize a transmission-gatebased design (Figure 2) to allow data translation in
either direction (VL ↔ VCC) on any single data line. The
MAX3372E–MAX3379E and MAX3390E–MAX3393E
accept VL from +1.2V to +5.5V and VCC from +1.65V to
+5.5V, making them ideal for data transfer between lowvoltage ASICs/PLDs and higher voltage systems.
All devices in the MAX3372E–MAX3379E, MAX3390E–
MAX3393E family feature a three-state output mode
that reduces supply current to less than 1μA, thermal
shortcircuit protection, and ±15kV ESD protection on the
VCC side for greater protection in applications that route
signals externally. The MAX3372E/MAX3377E operate
at a guaranteed data rate of 230kbps. Slew-rate limiting reduces EMI emissions in all 230kbps devices.
The MAX3373E–MAX3376E/MAX3378E/MAX3379E and
MAX3390E–MAX3393E operate at a guaranteed data
rate of 8Mbps over the entire specified operating voltage
range. Within specific voltage domains, higher data rates
are possible. (See the Timing Characteristics table.)
The MAX3372E–MAX3376E are dual level shifters available in 3 x 3 UCSP™, 8-pin TDFN, and 8-pin SOT23-8
packages. The MAX3377E/MAX3378E/MAX3379E and
MAX3390E–MAX3393E are quad level shifters available
in 3 x 4 UCSP, 14-pin TDFN, and 14-pin TSSOP packages.

MAX3372E–MAX3379E/
MAX3390E–MAX3393E
±15kV ESD-Protected, 1μA, 16Mbps, Dual/Quad
Low-Voltage Level Translators in UCSP
Detailed Description
The MAX3372E–MAX3379E and MAX3390E–MAX3393E
ESD-protected level translators provide the level shifting
necessary to allow data transfer in a multivoltage system.
Externally applied voltages, VCC and VL, set the logic
levels on either side of the device. A low-voltage logic
signal present on the VL side of the device appears as a
high-voltage logic signal on the VCC side of the device,
and vice-versa. The MAX3374E/MAX3375E/MAX3376E/
MAX3379E and MAX3390E–MAX3393E unidirectional
level translators level shift data in one direction (VL → VCC
or VCC → VL) on any single data line. The MAX3372E/
MAX3373E and MAX3377E/MAX3378E bidirectional
level translators utilize a transmission-gatebased design
(see Figure 2) to allow data translation in either direction
(VL ↔ VCC) on any single data line. The MAX3372E–
MAX3379E and MAX3390E–MAX3393E accept VL from
VL
+1.2V to +5.5V and VCC from +1.65V to +5.5V, making
them ideal for data transfer between low-voltage ASICs/
PLDs and higher voltage systems.
All devices in the MAX3372E–MAX3379E, MAX3390E–
MAX3393E family feature a three-state output mode
that reduces supply current to less than 1μA, thermal
shortcircuit protection, and ±15kV ESD protection on the
VCC side for greater protection in applications that route
signals externally. The MAX3372E/MAX3377E operate
at a guaranteed data rate of 230kbps. Slew-rate limiting reduces EMI emissions in all 230kbps devices.
The MAX3373E–MAX3376E/MAX3378E/MAX3379E and
MAX3390E–MAX3393E operate at a guaranteed data
rate of 8Mbps over the entire specified operating voltage
range. Within specific voltage domains, higher data rates
are possible. (See the Timing Characteristics table.)

Level Translation
For proper operation ensure that +1.65V ≤ VCC ≤ +5.5V,
+1.2V ≤ VL ≤ +5.5V, and VL ≤ (VCC + 0.3V). During power-up sequencing, VL ≥ (VCC + 0.3V) will not damage the
device. During power-supply sequencing, when VCC is
floating and VL is powering up, a current may be sourced,
yet the device will not latch up. The speed-up circuitry limits the maximum data rate for devices in the MAX3372E–
MAX3379E, MAX3390E–MAX3393E family to 16Mbps.
The maximum data rate also depends heavily on the load
capacitance (see the Typical Operating Characteristics),
output impedance of the driver, and the operational voltage range (see the Timing Characteristics table).
Speed-Up Circuitry
The MAX3373E–MAX3376E/MAX3378E/MAX3379E and
MAX3390E–MAX3393E feature a one-shot generator
that decreases the rise time of the output. When triggered, MOSFETs PU1 and PU2 turn on for a short time
VL
to pull up I/O VL_ and I/O VCC_ to their respective supplies (see Figure 2b). This greatly reduces the rise time
and propagation delay for the low-to-high transition. The
scope photo of Rail-to-Rail Driving for 8Mbps Operation in
the Typical Operating Characteristics shows the speed-up
circuitry in operation.
Rise-Time Accelerators
The MAX3373E–MAX3376E/MAX3378E/MAX3379E and
the MAX3390E–MAX3393E have internal rise-time accelerators allowing operation up to 16Mbps. The rise-time
accelerators are present on both sides of the device and
act to speed up the rise time of the input and output of the
device, regardless of the direction of the data. The triggering mechanism for these accelerators is both level and
edge sensitive. To prevent false triggering of the rise-time
accelerators, signal fall times of less than 20ns/V are recommended for both the inputs and outputs of the device.
Under less noisy conditions, longer signal fall times may
be acceptable.

Pull THREE-STATE low to place the MAX3372E–
MAX3379E and MAX3390E–MAX3393E in three-state
output mode. Connect THREE-STATE to VL (logic-high)
for normal operation. Activating the three-state output
mode disconnects the internal 10kΩ pullup resistors on
the I/O VCC and I/O VL lines. This forces the I/O lines to a
high-impedance state, and decreases the supply current
to less than 1μA. The high-impedance I/O lines in threestate output mode allow for use in a multidrop network.
When in three-state output mode, do not allow the voltage
Thermal Short-Circuit Protection
Thermal overload detection protects the MAX3372E–
MAX3379E and MAX3390E–MAX3393E from short-circuit fault conditions. In the event of a short-circuit fault,
when the junction temperature (TJ) reaches +152°C, a
thermal sensor signals the three-state output mode logic
to force the device into three-state output mode. When TJ
has cooled to +142°C, normal operation resumes.

±15kV ESD Protection
IEC 1000-4-2
ESD protection can be tested in various ways. The I/O
VCC lines of this product family are characterized for protection to the following limits:
The major difference between tests done using the
Human Body Model and IEC 1000-4-2 is higher peak current in IEC 1000-4-2, because series resistance is lower
in the IEC 1000-4-2 model. Hence, the ESD with-stand
voltage measured to IEC 1000-4-2 is generally lower than
that measured using the Human Body Model. Figure 4a
shows the IEC 1000-4-2 model, and Figure 4b shows the
current waveform for the ±8kV, IEC 1000-4-2, Level 4,
ESD contact-discharge test.
As with all Maxim devices, ESD-protection structures are
incorporated on all pins to protect against electrostatic
discharges encountered during handling and assembly.
The I/O VCC lines have extra protection against static
electricity. Maxim’s engineers have developed state-ofthe-art structures to protect these pins against ESD of
±15kV without damage. The ESD structures withstand
high ESD in all states: normal operation, three-state
output mode, and powered down. After an ESD event,
Maxim’s E versions keep working without latchup, whereas competing products can latch and must be powered
down to remove latchup.
1) ±15kV using the Human Body Model
2) ±8kV using the Contact Discharge method specified
in IEC 1000-4-2
3) ±10kV using IEC 1000-4-2’s Air-Gap Discharge
method
ESD Test Conditions
ESD performance depends on a variety of conditions.
Contact Maxim for a reliability report that documents test
setup, test methodology, and test results.
Human Body Model
The IEC 1000-4-2 standard covers ESD testing and performance of finished equipment; it does not specifically
refer to integrated circuits. The MAX3372E–MAX3379E
and MAX3390E–MAX3393E help to design equipment
that meets Level 3 of IEC 1000-4-2, without the need for
additional ESD-protection components.
The air-gap test involves approaching the device with a
charged probe. The contact-discharge method connects
the probe to the device before the probe is energized.
Machine Model
The Machine Model for ESD tests all pins using a 200pF
storage capacitor and zero discharge resistance. Its
objective is to emulate the stress caused by contact that
occurs with handling and assembly during manufacturing.
Of course, all pins require this protection during manufacturing, not just inputs and outputs. Therefore, after PCB
assembly, the Machine Model is less relevant to I/O ports.
Figure 3a shows the Human Body Model and Figure
3b shows the current waveform it generates when discharged into a low impedance. This model consists of a
100pF capacitor charged to the ESD voltage of interest,
which is then discharged into the test device through a
1.5kΩ resistor.

Applications Information
ideal for level translation between a low-voltage ASIC and
an I2C device. A typical application involves interfacing a
low-voltage microprocessor to a 3V or 5V D/A converter,
such as the MAX517.
Power-Supply Decoupling
To reduce ripple and the chance of transmitting incorrect data, bypass VL and VCC to ground with a 0.1μF
capacitor. See the Typical Operating Circuit. To ensure
full ±15kV ESD protection, bypass VCC to ground with a
1μF capacitor. Place all capacitors as close to the powersupply inputs as possible.
I2C Level Translation
The MAX3373E–MAX3376E, MAX3378E/MAX3379E
and MAX3390E–MAX3393E level-shift the data present
on the I/O lines between +1.2V and +5.5V, making them
Push-Pull vs. Open-Drain Driving
All devices in the MAX3372E–MAX3379E and MAX3390E–
MAX3393E family may be driven in a pushpull configuration. The MAX3373E–MAX3376E/MAX3378E/MAX3379E
and MAX3390E–MAX3393E include internal 10kΩ resistors that pull up I/O VL_ and I/O VCC_ to their respective
power supplies, allowing operation of the I/O lines with
open-drain devices. See the Timing Characteristics table
for maximum data rates when using open-drain drivers.
