It is no more difficult to convert 3V3 to 12 or 24V than converting 5V. Where is the beef.


If I have 5V supply inside a gadget, then I try to use 5V parts.

But if I must use 3.3V parts (e.g. Xilinx coolrunners), then I add a 3.3V regulator and mix 3.3V with 5V parts.

Fortunately most 3.3V parts are 5V tolerant and most 5V parts are with TTL inputs (2.4V = high), so mixing is no problem.


Also if I need 12V I/Os, I convert first the 5 SPI lines from the controller with a single CD4504 and then divide it with some CD4094/4021 to the needed count of I/Os.

Its easier than a single FPGA with tons of level converters around it.
