2.7 to 5V level shifting

Mar 11, 2007 3 Replies

Dear all Looking for a simple way to interface 2.7V Flash Mmeory to a 5V uC. The various peripherals in the system are 5V (LCD module, programming interface, sensors) so it seems easiest to interface the memory. There doesnt seem to be a serial flash available in 5V. Lots of parallel flash devices at 5V but these are old and take too many lines



One line will have to be bidirectional



Thanks



Richard


There are plenty of multi-bit buffer that include level converters that'll handle 2.7V to 5V. How many bits do you need to convert to 5V?

Re the LCD module - it may be worth a second look at the data sheet. I'm pretty sure that some have 3v compatible logic i/o despite the 5V supply.
