Low Noise: VOLP = 0.4V (typ.)
power dissipation.
Low power dissipation: ICC = 2µA (max.) @ TA = 25°C
The internal circuit is composed of 3 stages including

buffer output, which provide high noise immunity and stable output. An input protection circuit ensures that 0V to 7V can be applied to the input pins without regard to the supply voltage. This device can be used to interface 5V to 3V systems and two supply systems such as bat- tery back up. This circuit prevents device destruction due to mismatched supply and input voltages.
