1.2V to 5.5V bidirectional level translator
The Maxim Integrated MAX3001EEBP+ is a bidirectional level translator that shifts logic signals between two supply domains spanning 1.2V to 5.5V on each side. This covers the common voltage nodes in mixed-voltage designs — 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V, and 5V — without needing a direction control pin. It is suited for I²C, SPI, UART, and GPIO level shifting in systems where the bus direction changes dynamically.
That means loose parts in an antistatic bag or tube — fine for prototype runs, rework stations, and low-volume production where a pick-and-place feeder isn't justified. If you are feeding a high-speed placement machine, check whether the reeled variant (MAX3001EEBP+T) is a better fit for your line.
