There are logic level converter chip made for this purpose or you can use a
comparator and compare the 5V clock to ground.  Or just a diode to clip the
sine wave.  If you connect a code.   Sometimes you can set buy with a pair
of resisters wired as a voltage divider.   I like the comparator best
because it will not load the clock.  Diodes will load it for other users.
