The diversity of the currently used types of digital circuits and their manufacturing technology force the designers to work on various supply voltage levels. However, even if power supply circuits of a device make available all power sections necessary for its proper work, it does not mean that the system will work correctly. Properly selected voltage converters are still needed to ensure appropriate voltage levels of digital signals accepted by individual ICs.

Logical levels, i.e. one and one are not equal
The theory of digital circuits in terms of methods for representing logical states is very simple. In the most commonly used so-called positive logic - zero means the low state (L), and the voltage equal to the supply voltage (e.g. 3.3 V or 5 V) corresponds to logical one, i.e. the high state (H). So much theory; the practice, as usual, is much more complex. Each digital circuit correctly interprets input voltages within the range specified by the manufacturer, and the same applies to output signals, which cannot exceed a certain narrow range during normal operation. However, if one system (e.g. a microcontroller) is powered by 5 V and the other by 3.3 V, it is necessary to use a voltage converter (also called a logic level converter), which will not only ensure correct communication between individual systems, but also protect the systems. with a lower supply voltage from potential damage from too high input voltages.
Types and parameters of logical level converters
The basic division of voltage converters is based on in which (how many) directions these elements can transmit digital signals. Many converters transmit digital signals only in a specific direction, although some designs are able to work properly regardless of which direction the information is transmitted (i.e. which of the systems is the transmitter and which is the receiver). This is how very simple but highly effective voltage converters based on low-power MOSFET transistors work. In addition to the direction of operation, the key parameters of each converter are: the number of channels, acceptable voltage levels on both sides, as well as the maximum frequency of transmitted signals and - in some cases - propagation times (i.e. the delay between the change of the signal at the output in relation to the corresponding change at the input of a given channel). ).
Voltage converters available at the Botland store
In this category you will find a number of very useful modules, perfect for both prototype systems and target solutions. All voltage converters are offered in the form of universal modules with convenient goldpin connectors (soldered or intended for self-assembly) - and ready for use with connection cables, available in our store in practical sets. In addition to converters designed to work with digital outputs and inputs, we also have specialized modules enabling I2C communication. These modules (e.g. PCA9306) take into account the specificity of the physical layer of the I2C interface and enable trouble-free, stable cooperation of systems with different supply voltages.
Different digital circuits require different supply voltages to function properly. Moreover, selected electronic designs require operation at various voltage levels. Voltage converters are devices that provide the appropriate voltage level for digital signals, which is necessary for the proper operation of integrated circuits . Lack of a properly matched converter may result in incorrect operation or even damage to the system.
Voltage converters are devices that are distinguished by their durability. The consumption process of the converter is strictly dependent on, among others, on the way it is used and the frequency of operation. The life of the converter is closely related to the quality of the components used in production. The higher quality they are, the longer the converter's lifespan should be (of course, this applies to the situation in which the device is operated in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations).
