GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADG3308/ADG3308-1/ADG3308-2 are bidirectional level
translators containing eight bidirectional channels. They can be
used in multivoltage digital system applications, such as a data
transfer between a low voltage DSP controller and a higher
voltage device. The internal architecture allows the device to
perform bidirectional level translation without an additional
signal to set the direction in which the translation takes place.
The ADG3308 is available in a compact 20-lead TSSOP and
a 20-lead LFCSP, the ADG3308-1 is available in a 20-ball
WLCSP, and the ADG3308-2 is available in a backside-coated
20-ball WLCSP. The EN pin is referred to the VCCY supply
voltage for the ADG3308 and to the VCCA supply voltage for the
ADG3308-1 and ADG3308-2.
The ADG3308/ADG3308-1/ADG3308-2 are guaranteed to
operate over the 1.15 V to 5.5 V supply voltage range and the
extended −40°C to +85°C temperature range.
The voltage applied to VCCA sets the logic levels on the A side
of the device, and VCCY sets the levels on the Y side. For proper
operation, VCCA must always be less than VCCY. The VCCA
compatible logic signals applied to the A side of the device
appear as VCCY compatible levels on the Y side. Similarly, VCCY
compatible logic levels applied to the Y side of the device appear
as VCCA compatible logic levels on the A side.
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
1. Bidirectional logic level translation.
2. Fully guaranteed over the 1.15 V to 5.5 V supply range.
3. No direction pin.
The enable pin (EN) provides three-state operation on both the
A side and the Y side pins. When the EN pin is pulled low, the
terminals on both sides of the device are in the high impedance
state. For normal operation, EN should be driven high.
4. Packages: 20-lead TSSOP and 20-lead LFCSP (ADG3308),
20-ball WLCSP (ADG3308-1), and backside-coated 20-ball
WLCSP (ADG3308-2).
