General Description

The MX856 and MX857 are high speed single

channel level shifters with complimentary output

positive supply.

The input buffers accept digital TTL or CMOS level

rails, and generates complementary outputs. The

translator level shifts these output signals by

and GND. The output drivers also adjust the

complimentary signals for minimized skew error.

The MX856 and MX857 are designed to operate

over a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, and

are available as die in wafer form, die in waffle

pack, 8 lead SOIC package, and SOIC on Tape

and Reel.
