Abstract
A coupling piece for carrying out digital transmissions between an electrical interface of a first device and an electrical interface of a second device. The devices each use different voltage levels for distinguishing between the two logical states “high” and “low”. An internal circuit is provided for converting the voltage levels of the first device to the voltage levels of the second device, which correspond to the state. The higher voltage level is conveyed to this internal circuit by one of the two devices so that the low level can be converted to the higher level. The internal circuit carries out the conversions using a switching process.
