I2C and 5v slave

Is it possible to interface a 5volt slave device on the I2C bus of the 811 Eval. board directly or do should an approprite bidirectional level shifter be used ?

I understand that the 811 pins are 5 volts tolerant, however I am worried about the OLED.

According to the I2C spec the I2C lines are not driven high, except by the external pull up resistors, but I am not too sure.

TIA.

Re:I2C and 5v slave

I would try to run the i2c lines at 3.3V. There is already a pullup to 3.3V on the 811 board.

The slave pins should be configured as Open Collector anyway and for most chips 3.3V is sufficient as a high input level. This should work if the clock is not to fast.

Hi.

Here is a very simple and elegant solution:
