Bidirectionnal Interface Between 3V and 5V Buses

12/04/2007 3:34 PM

I am presently designing a few computer boards, for experiences, and need a simple way to interface a 5 volt data bus (indeed in NMOS, so nearer the LS-TTL than CMOS) to 3 volts level (for NAND EEPROM and 3V mixed devices).
Although the bus is specified at 20MHz, I shall at first work at 4MHz, so that slow devices are sufficient.

I have no previous experience with new fast logics such as LV TTL and so on.

There are a number of devices that allow level translation, one that we have used is this 16-bit TI part;

Your 20MHz bus should be no problem for todays logic devices.
