5v 3.3v translation
I am looking for the best way to interface a 3.3V to 5V 8 bit data I/O data bus together. Both the 3.3V side and the 5V side can be inputs or outputs on the fly. I currently use a 74VHCT245 with a direction selection pin but the extra overhead in how and who controls this line is not easily attainable. Is there a seamless solution that I have not yet uncovered or is there a creative way to implement this with as little overhead as possible
