GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADG3231 is a level translator designed on a submicron
process that operates from supplies as low as 1.65 V. The device
is guaranteed for operation over the supply range 1.65 V to 3.6 V.
It operates from two supply voltages, allowing bidirectional level
translation, i.e., it translates low voltages to higher voltages and
vice versa. The signal path is unidirectional, meaning data may
flow only from A1 to Y1.
This type of device may be used in applications requiring commu-
nication between devices operating from different supply levels.
The level translator is packaged in one of the smallest footprints
available for its pin count. The 6-lead SOT-23 package requires
only a maximum of 5.28 mm Ï« 5.28 mm board space.
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
1. Bidirectional level translation matches any voltage level from
1.65 V to 3.6 V.
2. The device offers high performance and is fully guaranteed
across the supply range.
3. Short circuit protection.
4. Tiny SOT-23 package.
