Description

The AX3005M5A is a DC-DC converter used in electronic applications. It belongs to the MAX3000E/MAX3001E/MAX3002–MAX3012 8-channel level translators, providing the necessary level shifting required for data transfer in a multivoltage system. It is designed for bidirectional level translation without using a directional pin.

Comparison

• Bidirectional level translation without a directional pin
• Guaranteed data rate options
• Low quiescent current and ultra-low 0.1µA supply current in shutdown
• UCSP, TQFN, and TSSOP packages available

• This model may not be the best choice for high voltage applications because it operates down to +1.2V on VL
• It only offers unidirectional level translation for a limited range of models (MAX3004-MAX3012)
• It provides ESD Protection on I/O VCC lines for a limited range of models (MAX3000E/MAX3001E)
