#87918 - just a zener - naah Responding to: ???'s previous message |
The inputs are also 5v tolerant. so not too much of an issue migrating. just a zener, on the VCC?
I am using a LM2937-3.3 LDO ($0.67 from DigiKey) to drop the 5V to 3.3. I would not go with a zener though it might very well work in some cases (no Vdd load for sink only) but definitely not if you configure the ports for push-pull. Erik A little trick schematicwise for mixed voltage lables. My Vcc is 5V, my Vdd is 3.3 it works well for me and I have parts such as HC7400D and HC7400C with the + terminal conneted respectively defined in ORCAD. |
