Excellent.  Thank you.  :-)

I think the traces will be no more than about 10-20mm in length at say
20mils.  I'm certainly not going round the houses.  :-)

If the traces are of any length, put a serial termination resistor in 
each one. That seems to be all as far as I've found out, otherwise they 
just behave.

Hello,

Would anyone have experience of these parts?  Namely, caveats and design
considerations?

I'm intending to use a suitable level translator between a 5v dsPIC (It has
to be 5v for an 8-bit bus) and a 3.3v SPI MMC/SD card.

A voltage divider isn't really suitable due to 3.3v not quite reaching the
dsPIC's 1 threshold.  So it makes sense to digitally convert all of the
lines.

I have 16 of these little TSSOP 0.65mm pitch parts staring at me..  They
look pretty harmless.

Thanks kindly,

Alison
