Will a pull up resistor work here or is the max voltage on the board 1.1 volts? If there is 5V running around, use a pullup on the output then you can almost swing rail to rail. If there is no supply, could a charge pump fit the bill? At 08:24 AM 12/6/96 -0700, you wrote: >I ran into a small problem with a circuit and was hoping for some help.
