Hi, As most experts have pointerd out, if the device has a open drain I2C and 5V tollerant interface you should be able to pull the I2C to 5V. TI provides nice single (little logic) buffers with open drain outputs to drive low voltage inputs from a 5V environment. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Doron Fael" <> To: <> Sent: Monday, September 15, 2003 1:20 AM Subject: Re: [68HC12] how to interface between 3.6V and 5V for I2C communication? > > There was a thread on the subject of interfacing 3.3V IIC parts to HCS12 at > 5V last May on this email list. > > The suggestion that I liked the most came from Bob (): > > > Download the I2C specification at > > > http://www-eu2.semiconductors.philips.com/acrobat/literature/9398/39340011.p df > > > > Page 43 shows a simple bidirectional level translation circuit. > > The above solution has a trade-off between the power consumption while in > the logic low level, and the maximum speed.
