#186701 - No best but consider a voltage divider
Responding to: ???'s previous message
There are almost never any "best" design.

You can do a voltage divider solution where one pin drives the divider to 50% of max amplitude. Second pin has zero ohm pull-up resistor so when high signal goes all the way to VCC. Or (since this is 8051 site) consider the reverse. One pin draws resistor to GND. Second pin draws to GND with zero ohm resistor.

If you need to load the signal, you may need to buffer it. Just that analog buffers (like an OP-Amp) normally can't match the rise/fall times of digital signals.

      So, you need to make -15V, 0V and +15V?            01/01/70 00:00

      I think you can do it wih one resistor.            01/01/70 00:00      
         Most 8051 Systems?????            01/01/70 00:00      
            Well add a pull-up resistor then            01/01/70 00:00      
               Would prefer to not have to match internal resistors            01/01/70 00:00      
               You cannot match the weak internal active pull-up!            01/01/70 00:00      
                  Being pedantic.            01/01/70 00:00      
         Hi David            01/01/70 00:00
