What this part is and where it fits
The Analog Devices MAX3004EUP+ is an 8-channel unidirectional voltage level translator in a 20-TSSOP package. It bridges logic families across a VCCA range of 1.2 V to 5.5 V and VCCB range of 1.65 V to 5.5 V. With a data rate of 35 Mbps, it handles high-speed serial protocols such as SPI and UART without signal degradation. The tri-state, non-inverted outputs allow multiple devices to share a common bus without contention, useful in multi-drop configurations or when the output needs to be disabled during power sequencing. The industrial temperature range of -40°C to 85°C extends its usability to outdoor telecom cabinets and factory-floor automation where ambient temperatures fluctuate. Integrated power supply decoupling reduces external component count, saving board space in dense layouts.
Supply voltage ranges — what they mean for your BOM
The VCCA side accepts 1.2 V to 5.5 V. VCCB spans 1.65 V to 5.5 V. The unidirectional channel type means data flows only from A-side to B-side.
Lifecycle and sourcing posture
The MAX3004EUP+ is listed as Active on the manufacturer's lifecycle record, so there is no last-time-buy risk or imminent obsolescence.
