In digital electronics, a level shifter, also called level converter or logic level shifter, or voltage level translator, is a circuit used to translate signals from one logic level or voltage domain to another, allowing compatibility between integrated circuits with different voltage requirements, such as TTL and CMOS.
Current mode logic (CML), or source-coupled logic (SCL), is a digital design style used both for logic gates and for board-level digital signaling of digital data. The basic principle of CML is that current from a constant current generator is steered between two alternate paths depending on whether a logic zero or logic one is being represented.
A level shifter connects one digital circuit that uses one logic level to another digital circuit that uses another logic level. Often two level shifters are used, one at each system: A line driver converts from internal logic levels to standard interface line levels; a line receiver converts from interface levels to internal voltage levels.
Stop (logic high (1)): the next one or two bits are always in the mark (logic high, i.e., 1) condition and called the stop bit(s). They signal to the receiver that the character is complete. Since the start bit is logic low (0) and the stop bit is logic high (1) there are always at least two guaranteed signal changes between characters.
Sampling occurs when SCLK transitions from its idle voltage level. For CPHA=1: The first data bit is output on SCLK's first clock edge after SS activates. Subsequent bits are output when SCLK transitions from its idle voltage level. Sampling occurs when SCLK transitions to its idle voltage level. Conversion between these two phases is non-trivial.
The output of an inverter is at the collector. Likewise, it is either a current sink (low logic level) or a high-z floating condition (high logic level). Like direct-coupled transistor logic, there is no resistor between the output (collector) of one NPN transistor and the input (base) of the following transistor.

The Hi-Z state's purpose is to effectively remove a device's influence from the rest of the circuit. If multiple devices output to a shared wire, no device should drive the shared wire to one logical voltage level when another device drives the shared wire to another logical voltage level, since that competition would result in excessive current draw through the short circuit and an uncertain ...
