Description
The MX856 and MX857 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, amplifies them to the VCC and GND supply
rails, and generates 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.
The MX856 and MX857 are designed to operate over
a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, and are
available in an 8-lead SOIC package.

1.7 ESD Warning
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges can readily accumulate on test equipment and
the human body in excess of 4000 Volts. This energy can discharge without detection. Although the MX856 / MX857
feature proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may be sustained if subjected to high energy
electrostatic discharges. Proper ESD precautions are recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of
functionality.

proper operation of our devices when handled according to the limitations and information in that standard as well as
to any limitations set forth in the information or standards referenced below.
Failure to adhere to the warnings or limitations as established by the listed specifications could result in reduced
product performance, reduction of operable life, and/or reduction of overall reliability.
This product carries a Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) rating as shown below, and should be handled according to
the requirements of the latest version of the joint industry standard IPC/JEDEC J-STD-033.
2.2 ESD Sensitivity
This product is ESD Sensitive, and should be handled according to the industry standard
JESD-625.
2.3 Reflow Profile
This product has a maximum body temperature and time rating as shown below. All other guidelines of
