Level shifters

Post by egero1 »

Can anyone recommend a level shifter that directly replaces the cd4050bc? I have searched online, and it seems that there are many choices, but I am just wanting something very simple with the same characteristics as teh cd4050bc.

Thanks,
Eric

Yeah, octopart is better, in some ways (better organization of search results), than findchips but I'm a creature of habit. Also, I like findchips as a name because it conveys irony to the newbies. Some one says "I need to find a chip"...
