I need PWM pulses of 3.3V, and my micro-controller is giving 1.8V PWM signals. I have a voltage source of 3.3V. One way I am thinking is to use two cascaded inverters(like NOT-GATE) using MOSFETs. Is there any other good ways to do this?

    \$\begingroup\$ You can often invert the PWM polarity in the microcontroller and use a single inverter (or transistor in common-emitter mode) for level shift. \$\endgroup\$

Logic level converter: -

enter image description here

This one works with two Vcc levels from 0.8V to 3.6V.

You can also use a bi-directional voltage-level translation device. Here are some from ti, analog and maxim.
