2.3.1 Sample Level Conversion Circuit
Depending on the micro controller used by an external application ELS61-AUS‘s digital input
and output lines (i.e., ASC0, ASC1 and GPIO lines) may require level conversion. The following
Figure 28 shows a sample circuit with recommended level shifters for an external application‘s
micro controller (with VLOGIC between 3.0V...3.6V). The level shifters can be used for digital
input and output lines with V
OH
max=1.85V or V
IH
max =1.85V.
