ST2378E
Bidirectional ±15kV High Speed Level Translator

ST2378E Product Page

ST2378EST's ST2378E is a ±15kV ESD-protected level translator that provides the level shifting necessary to allow bidirectional data transfer in a multi-voltage system. Externally applied voltages, VCC and VL, set the logic levels on either side of the device. It uses a design based on transmission-gates to allow data translation in either direction (VL VCC) on any single data line. The ST2378E accepts VL and VCC from +1.71V to +5.5V, making it ideal for data transfer between low-voltage ASICs/PLDs and higher voltage systems. The ST2378E has a three-state output mode that reduces supply current to less than 1µA, thermal short-circuit protection, and ±15kV ESD protection on the VCC side. The ST2378E operates at a guaranteed data rate of 13Mbps over the entire specified operating voltage range. Within specific voltage domains, higher data rates are possible.
Another two 4 Bit level translators are avilable in TSSOP14.
