FEATURES:

DESCRIPTION:

• Patented technology
• High signal -3db passing bandwidth at 1.15GHz
• Near-Zero propagation delay
• VCC = 1.65V to 3.6V
• Ultra-Low Quiescent Power: 0.1 A typical
• Ideally suited for low power applications
•

3.3V to 2.2V level shifting

•

2.5V to 1.6V level shifting

• Industrial operating temperature: -40

°C to +85°C

• Available in 8pin TSSOP package

Potato Semiconductor’s PO3VT3305A is
designed for world top performance using
submicron CMOS technology to achieve GHz
high bandwidth.

The PO3VT3305A is a High-Bandwidth, Hot-
Insertion, 2-Bit, 2-Port, Signal Voltage Translator 
Bus Switch.PO3VT3305A can do voltage level 
shifting from 3.3V to 2.2V or 2.5V to 1.6V.

The switch introduces no additional ground 
bounce  noise or propagation delay.
