Q. Would this be one of the best choices to buffer the action of Raspberry Pi pin(s) when defined as output.
Is this 100% safe way of protecting the Pi even if the Pi pin is accidently redefined as an input pin when still wired as an output pin.
Thank you.
A. Hi N Chettleburgh. Thank you for your question. This should be fine to use when configured as an output. If left in the circuit and re-configured as an input, because of the high impedance we would think that it would do nothing and should not harm the Raspberry Pi.

Ideal for building interface for computers
Reviewed by: Nyge - Friday, August 2, 2013Using this chip it is possible to build a forgiving interface to link computer output to relays ... relays are ideal for operating most everyday technology applications such as motors. It is all straightforward wiring for the novice and a self build will save much cost.
Also used these in a project to pick up light from programmed light patches on monitor using multiple LDRs in a potential divider input - ideal for very many independent outputs - ideal in model railways.
