What I mean is that I haven't seen any ARM7 parts with a 5-volt supply. That doesn't mean they don't exist.
I've not seen any ARM9/10 parts that don't require multiple (2.5 or 1.8-volt) supplies and can drive a 5-volt output. I find it VERY inconvenient to drive real-world circuitry from devices that are not 5-volt capable and can't drive at least 6 mA on those outputs. By the time I put in level shifters, buffers, etc, I have as much space as a bigger device, and as much cost, too. It's much more sensible, from where I sit, to use multiple 5-volt MCU's instead wherever possible. RE |
