In this article we are about to see a Logic level converter which converts 5v to 3. Here we use a couple of pull-up resistor to realize bi-directional level shifting. It consist of a N-channel enhancement MOSFET, the gate is connected to the lowest supply voltage and the source is connected directly to the low voltage input pin.
The drain is connected to High Voltage input pin with a Pull up resistor pulling the pin to logic 5v. The diode between the drain and the source present a n-p junction as a barrier.
Below you can see the formula that you need to use to calculate the resistors that you need in your circuit:. This the recommended method to level shift signals that require high speed communication serial at a high baud rate, I2C, etc…. You can check this page to find the bi-directional logic level converter module best price. You simply connect the signal with the High Voltage to the HV pins and it outputs the signal with the lower voltage on the other side LV.
With the board shown in the Figure above you have 4 channels available. Thanks for reading. If you like this post probably you might like my next ones, so please support me by subscribing my blog and my Facebook Page.

Thank you so much for taking the time to help. Have a great day, Rui. Can you please submit those errors here? Those two transistors are there only to shift up. I use a MCP as a 3. Keep It Simple, Sir. Hello, I have an SPI communicatin betwwen a 3. Voltage dividers limit how fast you can run SPI.
High resistance values may help limit the current the divider consumes, but they increase the rise and fall time, which in turn lowers the maximum rate at which you can transfer data. Probably worth mentioning this.
Is there another simple way that works with non-5v tolerant parts? From my test results, it is better to power the ESP from a little more than 3V3 to be really rock solid and 5V tolerant.
I experienced some shoot-through failures when powered from 3V3 in 5V environment — probably the 3V3 supply was not hard enough and fluctuated down a bit upon transmitting. The data output of the ESP is 3. At no point does the ESP itself get affected by anything other than 3.
For some circuits, it is enough just ensuring not enough current to damage the input. For this I have often used an inline or ohm resistor when interfacing a 5V output to a 3. The factor here is that the 3. If it has you can safely just use a resistor to limit the current. Therefore the output of the 3. If you read the datasheet closely you will see that this diode, D1, makes the high voltage 4.
Took me a while too! D1 ensures that the 3. Meanwhile the 5V input sees 3. If you closely at the datasheet D1 is actually for the case where the 3. In this case D1 will pull the input level to the 5v part to around 4.
The way I think of it is that current flows from the 5V supply through R1 and D1 to the 3. This is added to the 3. This is high enough to be a logic high to the 5V device. And the 3. My best reasoning about D1: If you removed D1, when the 3. The 5V supply has a current limiting resistor R1 to deal with that problem on its leg.
Interestingly, this circuit seems to require the 3. They do work surprisingly well in a lot of cases and they are convenient to use since you don't have to worry about what way around it goes. But there is always a few situations where they mistake what direction the signals are supposed to be going and cause all sorts of weird problems, they also tend to get confused by pullups in some cases.
Said problems may even be intermittent and very difficult to debug, along with something inconspicuous as a level shifter typically being one of the last things to suspect and check. Just use regular unidirectional level shifters and take the extra 10 seconds to check what direction they are supposed to be pointing, it saves a lot of cursing later. Oh and running SPI over too long of a ribbon cable can also cause issues. The crosstalk of the tracks can inject bumps into the clock line and make it stop working even at low clock speeds, similar can happen with the CS line but not as easily.
You want to run the clock on the edge of the flat cable with the wire next to it being ground. But optimally its best to have a ground wire between all of the signal wires, so half the wires are ground half are signal. This solves the crosstalk issue completely and lets it work with surprisingly long ribbon cables and high clock speeds. Until the roundtrip delay on MISO gets too long. M , tooki. It is pass transistors that essentially connect one side to the other without going through drivers.
The 5 volt rail is dropped by an internal diode so combined with the gate threshold voltage the pass transistors turn off above about 3 volts. So the 5 volt side can't cause harm to the 3. Thanks all for the answers. So what I have gathered: 1. I will stop using the haunted bidirectional converter since I don't need it anyways. I guess I can use these in both ways, however, it would be cool if there were a single 4-line chip so I can save some space.
Any tips for suitable parts? I will try to minimize signal problems by interleaving some ground lines in the cable to the Pi. I guess lots of nF decoupling capacitors would help too.
With only one slave, you could use the previously mentioned 74HCT32, with a 1KK3 potential divider to drop its fourth gate output to 3. You can omit R2 on the 3. Put the MOSFETs and 10K resistors on the 5V side as close as reasonably possible to the 5V I 2 C port expanded, and use narrow tracks, to minimize the track capacitance and get good risetimes on the 5V side in spite of the high 10K pullup value.
Regarding priorities, speed is still too important to use I2C. Besides, as you see I think I have plenty of space left on the board. I think I was mostly thinking about component count. But even that is not a big deal. Performance, correctness, and simplicity is what matters the most. Yep the mosfet level shifter from Ians post is the one bidirectional shifter that actually works. Only issue with it is that it only drives the signal high using a pullup.
This is fine for something like I2C where you need pullups anyway, so its the perfect solution for shifting I2C. But when it comes to SPI stuff tends to run in multi MHz clock speeds and those might need a bit more than just a pullup to drive properly.
