One-channel one-direction level shifter for WS2812/APA?

[Zekiel]

Hi!

We are designing a small board that will among other things will drive just one strip of LEDs (but many). What an alternative to 74HCT245 that is just one-way and one-channel? A single direction 3.3v-5v shifter. Is there a transistor style component you would recommend?

Cheers!

Maybe use the same one as Teensy LC has? It works very well.

Whoa. Well that works just out of the box! Thanks Paul. You rock
