SIM card voltage translator with thermal shutdown
The Analog Devices LTC1555LEGN-1.8#PBF is a single-channel bidirectional voltage level translator designed specifically for SIM card interfaces. It integrates thermal-shutdown protection and an open-drain output stage, making it a drop-in solution for translating between a low-voltage host controller (VCCA: 1.425 V to 4.4 V) and a SIM card operating at a higher voltage (VCCB: 2.6 V to 6 V). The part is housed in a 16-SSOP surface-mount package and rated for industrial temperature environments from -40°C to 85°C.
Supply voltage ranges — matching the SIM and the host
VCCA accepts 1.425 V to 4.4 V. VCCB spans 2.6 V to 6 V.
Single bidirectional channel — one bit at a time
This is a one-circuit, one-channel translator with bidirectional open-drain outputs.
Thermal shutdown — protection for the SIM slot
The integrated thermal-shutdown protection disables the output drivers if the die temperature exceeds the threshold.
Active lifecycle — no end-of-life concern
The LTC1555LEGN-1.8#PBF is listed as Active with ROHS3 compliance. There is no last-time-buy notice or obsolescence risk for this order code. The Tube shipping medium is suitable for prototype and low-volume builds; if your production line requires Tape & Reel, the LTC1555LEGN-1.8#TRPBF variant uses the same die and package but ships in Tape & Reel, Cut Tape, or Digi-Reel.
