Hi
I'm trying to connect two 5V IO devices to a third device which works at 3.3V IO, and is not "5V-IO-tolerant", in a bus topology. Can anybody suggest me of a safe way to interconnect these devices?

Thanx

Your best bet is a DC-DC converter............Try PICO or DALE but there are many good manufacturers of these devices.
