When connecting a 5V <-> 3.3V communcation, do we need transciver or level translator
Transceiver is a device that can be used for transmit and recieving of data. Thus, two components that do not have a tri-state output can be connected together and commmunicate without contention on a bus. If level translation is required since the two devices work at different power supply voltages, this must be done to prevent device damage.
I need to connect a 5V device to a 3.3V device. Do I need a "voltage level translator" IC or a "trasceiver" IC or a "transceiver with voltage translation". In other words, is a voltage level translator also a trasceiver, what is the difference? What do I need?
