Hello everyone! I am using the 5 channel A/D on the PIC16C73A running at 5V. I am using an external voltage reference of 2.5V on pin RA3/AN3/Vref. My question is: Should I use a zener diode, etc. to protect the port from voltages from 2.5V to Vdd+.6 or will this just give me a full scale reading? Are there any other thought on protecting A/D inputs? Thanks in advance. Steve McAlonan ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
