Level shiffter (3.3V / 5V) for controlling transistors












2












$begingroup$


Is it possible to control the base of the transistor using the level shift chip (3.3V / 5V)?
I want to use the SN74AHCT125 level shift chip.



Transistor BC337-16

    It is possible to get bad results too unless you are more specific on your configuration and output spec limits.,

    Please edit your question to include a schematic of what you're really trying to do. As pointed out in the answer, a level-shifter is almost certainly unnecessary.

$begingroup$

There generally is no need to use a level shifter to control a BJT transistor, as long as the high output level is higher than the required $V_{rm BE}$ (1.2V for your BC337-16 transistor, with $I_{rm C} = 300 rm mA$ and $V_{rm CE} = 1 rm V$). WHat are you trying/willing to do?
