Logic Level Shifting and Conditioning Circuit
The following circuit diagram is of a Logic Level shifting and conditioning circuit. This circuit should be
used if you are making your own parameter cable and are using a laptop computer with 3.3 V output parallel
ports.

NOTE: If making your
own parameter setup
cable, be advised
the 3.3V output
parallel ports on some laptop
PC’s may not be sufficient to
communicate with the device
without use of a logic level
shifting and conditioning
Interface.
