GPIO input voltage

Started by Francois Leroux September 27, 2005
Hi, I just need to know if its possible to feed in 5v as high input voltage to the GPIO module and McASP module configured as input or if a 3.3v regulator is needed for a c6713. The spec sheets only specify the minimum high input voltage of 2v and not the maximum..

Thanks,

Frank



Hello Frank,
 
Don't do it!!  Look at the "absolute maximum ratings" on the datasheet.
 
Depending on where the +5v is coming from, you can usually do something fairly simple.
 
Two diodes and a resistor can be used. Connect the two diodes in series to +5v.  The input is clipped to 3.6v - connect a resistor in series with the input.
 
 Another choice is an optical coupler.
