Six-channel level shifter with auto-direction sensing
The MAX13032EETE+ from Analog Devices is a six-channel bidirectional voltage level translator designed for mixed-voltage digital interfaces. It handles data rates up to 100 Mbps across all six channels, with each channel configurable as open-drain or push-pull output. The VCCA supply operates from 1.62 V to 3.2 V, while VCCB runs from 2.2 V to 3.6 V, covering common low-voltage cores (1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.3 V) and higher-voltage peripherals. Built-in power-supply decoupling reduces external component count. The part comes in a 16-TQFN (4x4 mm) package with an exposed pad for thermal management.
100 Mbps — enough for SPI, UART, and most parallel buses
The 100 Mbps data rate covers high-speed SPI, UART, and many parallel memory interfaces without timing margin issues. Because the direction is auto-sensing (bidirectional per channel), you don't need a direction-control pin — the translator detects the drive edge and switches accordingly. Open-drain mode suits I2C and SMBus; push-pull mode works for single-ended signals like GPIO or SPI MOSI/MISO. The 1.62 V minimum on VCCA lets it interface directly with 1.8 V logic without an extra regulator.
Active production — no end-of-life concern
The MAX13032EETE+ carries an active lifecycle status from Analog Devices. The part is RoHS3 compliant. For current availability and pricing, submit an RFQ — we source through independent distribution and confirm both at quote time.
