General Description
Features
● ±15kV ESD Protection on I/O V
Lines
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 current-
source 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 volt-
