Hi. I m using Arduino Mega 2560 R3 which has an AVR processor. My 5V Mega is interfacing with a HC-05 bluetooth umm card! I am using a basic voltage divider with 1k and 2k to reduce 5v signal to 3.3v signal from Tx of arduino to Rx of hc-05. And it works fine as far. As far as i am aware of level shifters that has umm transistors so i m thinking to use a level shifter to reduce ( or increase for future projects) the signal voltage in Proper Way. I saw some bi-directional level shifters. Some of them just have transistors like bss138 and some resistors. And they say its a bit sluggish.so they offer umm circuit type level shifters which have TXB0108 and 74HCT245 and so on.. no one wants to have a sluggish signals. So i thinkimg to use circuit for this level shifting. I sae in a site that AVR chips dont work good one of that 2 ( TXB0108 - 74HCT245 ). anyone has information about that compitability issue?
For example Teensy has ARM and they use 74HCT245 for level shifting on their board for teensy add-on. That means 74hct245 is compitable with ARM chip. But my mega has AVR.. which one is compitable for AVR.. because i saw one of them is not and i cant rememebee that website.
