Fast unidirectional level switch from 5 V to 3.3 V

I came up with this circuit. Is it good or bad to use diodes? In my opinion, this is better than a divider or a FET, at least faster, as you can see from the waveforms. Will such a circuit create ...

What are the output logic levels of this STM32?

I am struggling getting my head around the input and output logic levels, mostly the output levels of this STM32 (STM32F446xC/E). This table shows the output logic levels as dependent on if it is a ...

5V to 3.3V Converter

I have a problem in connecting Raspberry PI to an MCP3202. I am using MCP3202 at 5V and knowing that raspberry pi works on 3.3v. I have found a solution to convert from 3.3V to 5V using 74HCT244. And ...

Are D flipflop inputs and clock thresholds the same for a given logic family?

I'm using an SOIC20 74ACT574 octal flipflop in a design. Vcc is 5 V, and GND is 0 V. The datasheets give V_IH (logic high input, guaranteed minimum) as 2.0 V and V_IL (logic low input, guaranteed ...

Shifting a 2.7V digital signal to Arduino logical levels?

I'm pretty much a beginner in electronics and I'm currently working on a personal project, where I have a device, that is putting out a digital signal (square wave) that goes from 0V - 2.7V and I need ...

Can a Z84C00 CPU directly drive 74HCxxx series logic?

I'm getting confused by the datasheet for the Z84C00 CPU, while trying to work out if I can use it to drive 74HCxxx chips, or if I need TTL-compatible logic (i.e. either 74HCTxxx or 74LSxxx). It's ...

How can I have an ECL logic input for a CMOS logic gate

I'm working on a triggering system that uses a comparator to check if the signal is below a threshold value. I found a great comparator for the job, except its output is ECL logic. I wanted to use the ...

Fast bidirectional 3.3 to 5V level shifter

For a hobby project of mine, I'm thinking about connecting some old 5V SRAM chips like this one to a 3.3V - capable FPGA. The target frequency is 50MHz. After some simulator experiments I found out ...

CMOS Logic system

When I was practicing logic circuit design using PMOS and NMOS, it's said that we have to use all PMOS for Pull Up Network (PUN) and NMOS for Pull Down Network (PDN). But, we know that for input ...

Should I use CMOS vs. TTL?

Now, I know that this question has been asked so many times that it seems like I'm trolling, but I must point out that I couldn't find the right answer to this question anywhere. So yeah, CMOS and ...

making sense of HCT ACT cmos "addional supply current"

I'm trying to make a low-current level shifter from low voltage (~2V) CMOS up to 5V CMOS. I had the idea to use TTL-compatible CMOS gates in the HCT or ACT families. But this line in the 74HCT04 ...
