Working Principles

The MAX4836ETT33C+T is designed to translate logic-level signals between two different voltage domains. It uses a combination of level shifters and voltage regulators to ensure bidirectional translation with minimal signal distortion.

When a logic-level signal is applied to the input pins (A1-A4), the IC translates the voltage level to the corresponding level in the target voltage domain. The translated signal is then available at the respective output pins (B1-B4). The enable (EN) and output enable (OE) control inputs allow for selective channel activation and output tri-state control, respectively.

The IC operates within a specified supply voltage range (1.65V to 3.6V) and supports high-speed data transmission up to 100 Mbps. It is designed to consume low power, making it suitable for battery-powered applications.
