#188843 - Most Automotive parts DO use 5V Responding to: ???'s previous message |

The ARM chips regulate the supply down internally to 1.2-1.8V to power the core and presumably have level shifters for the IO, so you would have thought it wouldn't be that hard to do 5V. It's not 'hard', but it does need a thicker oxide on the I/O - but very cheap (sub 50c) 8 bit Micros are available with 1.8V core and 5.5V io, and there are numerous 32 bit ones with 5V IO too. Infineon have a lot of 5V automotive parts, 8/16/32 bits, and some new ones are even 6-27v, with included Regulators and LIN drivers. |
