Adafruit QT 3V to 5V Level Booster Breakout with pixel LEDS

Post by johanni »

Hi,
Are the Adafruit QT 3V to 5V Level Booster Breakout suitable for LED pixels like WS2812?
Is AP3602A fast enough for the data line?

Not the best fit for Neopixels since it designed for bi-directional i2c communication.

The NeoPXL8 Friend uses a 74AHCT125 which is optimal for driving Neopixels. Though designed originally for DMA with certain processors, it works fine as a basic level shifter on any pin.
