The ST6G3237 is a dual supply low voltage
CMOS Level Translator for SD/MiniSD/T-Flash
fabricated with sub-micron silicon gate and fivelayer metal wiring C2MOS technology. Designed
for use as an interface between a 3.3V bus and a
2.5V or 1.8V bus in a mixed 3.3V/1.8V, 3.3V/2.5V
and 2.5V/1.8V supply systems, it achieves high
speed operation while maintaining the CMOS low
power dissipation.

The A port is designed to track VCCA. The B port
is designed to track VCCB.
This IC is intended for two-way asynchronous
communication between data buses and the
direction of data transmission is determined by
CMD-dir/DATA0-dir/DAT123-dir inputs. The B-port
interfaces with the 3V bus, the A-port with the
2.5V and 1.8V bus.
All inputs are equipped with protection circuits
against static discharge, giving them ±2kV ESD
immunity and transient excess voltage.

Electrical ratings
Stressing the device above the rating listed in the “Absolute Maximum Ratings” table may
cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only and operation of the
device at these or any other conditions above those indicated in the Operating sections of
this specification is not implied. Exposure to Absolute Maximum Rating conditions for
extended periods may affect device reliability. Refer also to the STMicroelectronics SURE
Program and other relevant quality documents.

1. CPD is defined as the value of the IC's internal equivalent capacitance which is calculated from the
operating current consumption without load. (Refer to Test Circuit). Average current can be obtained by the
following equation. ICC(opr) - CPD x VCC x fIN + ICC/16 (per circuit)
