What is TFT driver SSD1963 data voltage

Question

I recently bought a TFT module driven by SSD1963 I have experience on t6963 and ks0108 and by a quick look it seems ok to make a MCU interface to ATMega128. What is confusing to me is the difference between the supply voltage of SSD1963 = 3.3volts and micro bus voltage =5 volts. Should I reduce all voltages on the micro-controller's pins from 5 v to 3.3v?

If possible, I'd recommend to use 3V3 for the entire circuit; the ATMega is perfectly capable to operate at 3v3. But if you can't for some reason (if you already have a board that depends on 5v to work, or whatever), use the staple for level shifting, the TXB0108. Since it has just 8 lines you'll have to use probably 3 of them (for 18-bit rgb and other signals). TI has a version of this IC with more lines, but is BGA only, which is generally impractical for prototypes.

You can do it by several way,

using of your MCU(in this case ATMega128) by 3 or 3.3 volts
using of Voltage divider

and another way that i can't recall...

Voltage divider is not a good idea in general for anything high speed. The RC constant will make fast signals very slow. – Gustavo Litovsky Oct 01 '13 at 22:24
