GENERAL DESCRIPTION
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
The ADG3231 is a Level Translator designed on a sub
micron process which 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 bi-directional level translation, i.e. it
translates low voltages to higher voltages and vice versa.
The signal path is uni-directional, data may only flow
from A1 to Y1.
1.
2.
Uni-Directional (Up/Down) Level Translation.
The device offers high performance and is
fully guaranteed over a wide supply range; 1.65 V to
3.6 V.
3.
Short Circuit Protection*
3.
Tiny SOT23 package.
This type of device may be used in applications requiring
communication 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 SOT23
package requires only 5.28mm2 max board space.
