Hi! Is the 74LVxxx logic available in PDIP?
I guess so…
Wow! That would simplify things!
Thanks and have a nice day!

why not use 74lvxxx logic to interface to the lava board ? - it does the protection and is 5V tolerant - it has been used in propeller interfaces for the same thing and makes the parts count a lot smaller

resistors for 5V to 3.3V level transition. In theory you don't need them
and adding the Zeners are kind of a "belt and suspenders" approach to level
transition. However the LAVA-10 is one expensive component so it is worth a
the extra expense to protect it. I'd consider them optional but a worthy
investment even if not needed.
Thanks and have a nice day!
