It is a device called a bi directional logic level shifter and they can be bought for about 30c delivered.
Bi directional logic level converter circuit.
When connecting 3 3v devices and 5v devices voltage level conversion is required.
This bi directional logic level converter is a small device that.
Basically how you use them is you connect your higher voltage normally 5v to the hv pin and then your lower voltage normally 3 3v to the lv pin and then any signal received on any of the pins will be output on the equivalently.
To deal with this we use special circuits called as logic level converters.
Safely steps down 5v signals to 3 3v.
757 because the arduino and basic stamp are 5v devices and most modern sensors displays flash cards and modes are 3 3v only many makers find that they need to perform level shifting conversion to protect the 3 3v device from 5v we do have some other handy.
Modern systems use level shifters to bridge domains between processors logic sensors and other circuits.
Bi directional mosfet voltage level converter 3 3v to 5v.
In this article we are about to see a logic level converter which converts 5v to 3 3v and vice versa.
The circuit can be easily interfaced via standard jumper wires.
Adafruit industries unique fun diy electronics and kits 4 channel i2c safe bi directional logic level converter bss138 id.
A level shifter in digital electronics also called logic level shifter or voltage level translation is a circuit used to translate signals from one logic level or voltage domain to another allowing compatibility between ics with different voltage requirements such as ttl and cmos.
If you take a peek at the board s schematic you d find that the bi directional logic level converter let s shorten that to bd llc is actually a very simple device there is basically one level shifting circuit on the board which is repeated four times to create four level shifting channels.
These circuits are capable of converting 5v to 3 3v and 3 3v to 5v successfully thus bridging the chip ttl and cmos chip families.

Please provide as much detail as possible regarding item 300 91 221 bss138 bi directional logic level converter.
The pins low side logic input and high side logic input can be interchangeably used as input and output pins.
The 5v to 3 3v bi directional logic level converter circuit can be seen in the below image as you can see we have to provide a constant voltage of 5v and 3 3v to the resistors r1 and r2.
This level converter can also work with 2 8v and 1 8v devices.
The following circuit will allow this to be done bi directionally.
Steps up 3 3v to 5v at the same time.
