GENERAL DESCRIPTION internally pulled down by 6 k resistors, while the Y terminals The ADG3300 is a bidirectional logic level translator that con- are in the high impedance state. The EN pin is referred to VCCA tains eight bidirectional channels. It can be used in multivoltage supply voltage and driven high for normal operation. digital system applications such as data transfer between a low voltage DSP/controller and a higher voltage device. The internal The ADG3300 is available in a compact 20-lead TSSOP package, architecture allows the device to perform bidirectional logic and it is guaranteed to operate over the 1.15 V to 5.5 V supply level translation without an additional signal to set the direction voltage range and extended 40C to +85C temperature range. of the translation. The voltage applied to VCCA sets the logic levels on the A side of the device, while VCCY sets the levels on the Y side. For proper PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS operation, VCCA must always be less than VCCY.
