GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADG3308 is an 8-Channel bidirectional level transla-
tor. Its function is to provide level shifting in a multi-
voltage system. The voltage applied to VCCA sets up the
logic levels on the A side of the device, while VCCY sets
the levels on the Y side. In this way, signals applied to the
VCCA side of the device appear as VCCY compatible logic
on the other side of the device and vice versa as the device
is designed to handle bidirectional signals. The device is
guaranteed for operation over the supply range 1.2 V to
5.5 V.
These devices are suited to applications like data transfer
between a low voltage DSP/Controller and a higher
voltage device. Other applications include high end
consumer products where constant changes to the chipset
desgins result in multiple supply levels in the application.
VCCY operates from +1.65 to 5.5 V while VCCA from +1.2
to VCCY. VCCA must always operate from a supply that is
lower than VCCY. When the device Enable pin (EN) is
pulled low, the Ax and Yx inputs/outputs are tri-stated.
The EN pin is driven high for normal operation. EN pin
is referred to VCCY voltage.
