TTL, or... a little electronic prehistory.

The development of digital technology has forced a change in the voltage standards in which newly manufactured ICs work. For many years, the standard for almost all digital electronics was the TTL system - both simple logic gates and the most complex microprocessors at the time worked on the assumption that the low level (L) is indicated by voltages from 0 V to 0.4 V and the high level (H) - from 2.7 V to 5.5 V. A considerable asymmetry resulted directly from the design of the input and output circuits of these circuits, based on classical bipolar transistors (as well as special multi-emeter transistors, but not differing in basic parameters from single BJT structures).

Thresholds and voltage margins in TTL standard

It is worth adding that the above mentioned logical levels concerned output signals - the inputs could work in a wider range, 0..0.8 V(L) and 2..5 V(H) respectively. The difference between the corresponding limits is the so-called switching margin - its relatively large width allowed for reliable cooperation of one output with many inputs, which - consuming some non-zero direct current - caused its load and, as a result, shifted the actual voltage on a given line towards the "center" of the range. Thus, for proper operation of the whole system, it was required that on no digital line the voltage - in any situation - should exceed the range of acceptable input voltages. The actual switching threshold was therefore somewhere between 0.8V and 2.0V - its exact value was different for different units, but the tolerance had to be accepted by all systems, described as TTL.

Modern standards

Today, it is difficult to identify one common standard of tensions. It is usually assumed that the margin is symmetrical and is usually 30% of the supply voltage (for both low and high levels). For example, a 5V power supply system can interpret voltages not exceeding 1.5V as low state, and as high state - from about 3.5 to 5V. This means that the output of a system supplied with 3.3V may not have a chance to properly control 5-volt inputs. In such cases a 5V 3.3V converter becomes necessary. Very often used nowadays logic level converters allow to choose the direction of the transmitted signal, although some versions automatically "recognize" which side of the circuit is the input and which side is the output. A willingly used solution is a circuit consisting of low-power MOSFET field transistors and a few resistors, determining their operating point - this design works perfectly well not only in "simple" situations (e.g. when connecting some 3-volt sensors with Arduino 5-volt UART interface), but also... in circuits based on I2C. The presence of separate pull-up resistors on both sides of the system ensures trouble-free cooperation of both devices, supplied with different voltages.
