#187983 - Perhaps certain CPLD's would do the job
Responding to: ???'s previous message
IIRC, the CoolRunner-II (XILINX) family of CPLD's allows you to feed a separate supply to the I/O cells, while operating the logic at the "usual" voltage (3V3, I believe).

Several of the FPGA families that XILINX produced allowed the same on-chip level translation.

Doesn't the family you're using do this? ISTR that several of them, while operating at 1V5 or 1V8, still supported I/O at 3V3. The older Spartan-II family even was 5V0 tolerant.
