The Great Search: Single NOT / inverting gate for 5V signal in SC70-5
from Adafruit Industries · host Adafruit Industries
The TM1814 LEDs we've been looking at this week require an inverted NeoPixel-like signal. While it's not too hard to make a custom library to deal with the prefix bytes, the inversion is a little annoying since you'd have to rewrite a lot of assembly. So, for our level shifter board we designed, let's also add an inverter: It will use 5V power and logic, and we'd like a small SC70-5 package so we can keep the board as compact as possible.
