You've just proved yourself an incredible dumb-shit ;-) You have NO clue what "HCT" actually means. It DOES NOT MEAN that a +3.3V CMOS input is satisfactory. There ARE, however, specialty chips made for 3.3V <> 5V logic translators. Sheeesh!

Hi Jim, Nothing wrong with what you've said. It's all stuff I'm reading through so none of it is wasted :-) thanks, Alison

Thanks! These _little_boys_ just get on my nerves chastising me and saying that HCT would work properly in your application. ...Jim Thompson -- | James E.Thompson, P.E. | mens | | Analog Innovations, Inc. | et | | Analog/Mixed-Signal ASIC's and Discrete Systems | manus | | Phoenix, Arizona Voice:(480)460-2350 | | | E-mail Address at Website Fax:(480)460-2142 | Brass Rat | | http://www.analog-innovations.com | 1962 | I love to cook with wine.

Now, now :-) Everything everyone has said is valued. It's enabling me to build up a wider picture of what can be done and what the options are. What I do and don't do I won't announce though. :-) I'll go with what is reliable with my own eyes. The trouble with the net is that since it's so *company* driven, there is only their view since it's so difficult now to Google search for the old fashioned diy and educational stuff. If only we could go back 10-years to when companies laughed at the Internet. Searching was a hell of alot easier before they came along. Usenet has calmed down alot too, we'd be threatening to murder each other with a pickaxe by now. (those were the days). :-) Alison

Your ignorance is very loud and of highest quality, I must admit. Not everybody can achieve that level. Have you ever read datasheet, or any textbook for the EE? "The Art of Electronics" would be a good start. SN74HCT14 (www.ti.com) VT+ max 2.1V VT- min 0.5V SN74HCT04 (www.ti.com.) VT+ max 2.1V VT- min 0.5V Other manufacturers have similar characteristics. Typical 3.3V logic: SN74HC04 VoutH min 3.2V @ 20uA VoutL max 0.1V @ 20uA After all these years of design it is finally time to learn the basics. :) -- WBR, Yuriy. "Resistance is futile"

This is exactly correct.

Extra knowledge only hurts to the fools.

RTFM, dude. It does mean that > 2.0V is guaranteed 1 and < 0.8V is guaranteed 0. The threshold is normally at 1.4V which is exactly what is required for 3.3V CMOS interfacing.

Oh, you don't say.

  Hi Alison,

  Thanks for the reply.

  You might  find breadboarding a lot more pleasant once  you  get the
  hang of  working  with copperclad. It certainly  makes  working with
  high frequency a lot easier, and a well-made board can even  be used
  in place  of  a  pcb.  I like to  use  ordinary  hot  glue  to mount
  components to  the  copper.  This works great  for  parts  that stay
  cool:)

  I'm still using prototypes I made years ago, and they work fine.

  Good luck with your circuit!

  Regards,

  Mike Monett

Just go with a chip designed for the purpose.

Keep it up. Everybody is realizing the "value" of your consultancy ;-) You read a data sheet without understanding. ...Jim Thompson -- | James E.Thompson, P.E. | mens | | Analog Innovations, Inc. | et | | Analog/Mixed-Signal ASIC's and Discrete Systems | manus | | Phoenix, Arizona Voice:(480)460-2350 | | | E-mail Address at Website Fax:(480)460-2142 | Brass Rat | | http://www.analog-innovations.com | 1962 | I love to cook with wine.
