Hi Just about any of the modern ‘125 or ‘126 buffer gates will do a pretty good job of generating a logic output:

Close to the rail most gates will only put out around 10 ma. If you want to drive close to the 3.3V level, you will need to parallel up about 6 to 8 gates. It’s probably best to drive them all from a single high speed gate output. If you are picky about the levels, twice that number of gates may be needed. Since you are driving out of an “un-terminated source”, you can expect a bit of ring on your cable. If you want to deliver 3.3V into a 50 ohm load out of a 50 ohm source, you will need a circuit that will handle a 6.6V supply. You *might* be able to select gates that won’t blow up at that voltage. The current will be 2X higher so you will need a few gates. In this case, each one gets a series resistor in it’s output to make up the 50 ohm total.
