Using an open drain buffer as a logic level step down converter

I'm trying to convert a 3V3 UART to 1V8 UART with an open drain buffer, but the output of the buffer is always high. See the schematic below for the circuit. On the input to the buffer, there is a 0V -...

Unidirectional level shifter 1.8-5V -> 3.3V

I'm looking for a circuit/IC to shift logic levels between 1.8/3.3/5V and 3.3V. This is to connect various devices via UART to the ESP8266. As such, I only need unidirectional translation - the ...

Would this circuit interface be a safe interface between full duplex and half-duplex UARTs of different logic levels? [duplicate]

I'm primarily a SW developer who dabbles with electronics. I needs to interface my SoC's HW full-duplex UART with an SDI-12 compliant sensor, without burning either of them and hopefully without ...

Connect to LIN bus with logic level shifter as transceiver

Is it good idea to connect my microcontroller to LIN bus with logic level shifter (5 <=> 12 V) instead of factory LIN transceiver (MCP2003, TJA1020, etc.)? As I understand, LIN transceiver just ...

Preventing overvoltage on serial pin

I am trying to send data through serial from a 3.3v Arduino to a 5v Arduino. I assume I can't just connect the 3.3v tx to the 5v rx because, when I program the 5v one I am assuming it will send 5v ...

Component recognition from marking code

I need help to recognize a dead component from a lab instrument control board. It is part of a TTL-serial interface, arguably a logic gate or some level shifter, in a TSSOP-14 package. You can see ...
