How is an open drain output from the 3.3V side *not* going to=20 meet the 4V input spec on the 5V side, if the line is pulled up to 5V? Unless I'm missing something, the 5V tolerant feature of the 3.3V part=20 means you can just pull both lines up to 5V. But if the 3.3V input side clamps the 5V output, the 5V side would get=20 confused when it's master?
