Re: [Gumstix-users] Pin Voltage Conversion 1.8 to 5V

[Garry A. <boo...@op...>]

I like the lvc family of logic for level conversion. The inputs will operate at up to 5.5V. The 74lvc1g07 is a single gate buffer with an open collector output. Alternatively you can get them in packages with more gates. In both cases, stepping up or stepping down, set the supply voltage of the logic to the lower voltage.
