For most applications this voltage difference is not an issue as the output drive low specification (VOL) of

the SIO bus and the FS400 are both 0.4 Volts. However, in heavily loaded SIO busses the output VOL is

not always preserved.

An easy way to regain the 0.7 Volt difference in the VIL specification of the FS400 and the SIO bus is to

bias the FS400’s input negative by a diode drop (D1). The diode can be biased by a long-tail resistor pair

or a current source pair. Shown below is the long-tail pair:

The long-tail pair is a simple circuit but has the disadvantage of requiring higher voltage power supplies.

Also, these supplies may have to power up in a specific sequence so the surround circuits are not over-

voltage.

The translation circuit below requires only one 5 Volt power supply and has no special sequence

requirements. In addition, the circuit offers a high impedance load (Q1 become reverse biased) to the

SIO bus when its power supply is removed. Unfortunately, it requires more parts. In applications where

transistors are more readily available, R2 and R3 can be replaced with diode connected transistors.
