MX856 and MX857 (Data Sheet) are high speed single channel level shifters with complementary output drivers. The MX856 features a 5.0V VCC positive supply, and the MX857 features a 3.3V VCC positive supply.

The input buffers accept digital TTL or CMOS level signals, amplify them to the VCC and GND supply rails, and generate complementary outputs. The translator level-shifts these output signals by amplifying them to the VCC and VEE supply rails.

The output drivers then buffer the signals to VOPT and VEE. VOPT may be set within the range of VCC and GND. The output drivers also adjust the complementary signals for minimized skew error.

MX884 (Data Sheet) targets power management applications where high noise immunity and low cost are primary requirements. Its integrated 10-bit ADC provides high resolution, making it ideal for current monitoring systems. The MX884 enables digital power management, in which a microcontroller can readily monitor the current in a system and perform other control functions in power systems and motion control products.

The MX884 converts a small voltage developed across an external “current” sense resistor to a 10-bit digital output. It features a wide common mode input supply voltage range of 3V to 60V and easily interfaces to most microcontrollers. The design is simple yet cost-effective, requiring very few external components, making it especially suitable for high volume applications.
