What this part is and where it fits
The MAX3001EAUP+ from Analog Devices is an 8-channel bidirectional voltage level translator in a 20-TSSOP package. It translates logic signals between two supply domains: VCCA from 1.2 V to 5.5 V and VCCB from 1.65 V to 5.5 V.
Auto-direction sensing and data rate
Auto-direction sensing means the MAX3001EAUP+ monitors the bus state on each channel and sets the drive direction accordingly. No DIR pin, no firmware toggling. The 4 Mbps data rate is the maximum.
Package and temperature grade
The 20-TSSOP (4.40 mm width) is a common footprint shared with many logic and translation ICs. Surface-mount only. The -40°C to +125°C range covers industrial and extended-temperature environments.
