Hey all,
Just a quick question. I want to use a 7408 logic Ic in my car.
I have a 5V supply voltage for the IC.
With regards to the logic inputs, can I connect it directly to the 13V? I have used 15V once as an input to test(it worked), but i wonder if the life of the IC will be shortened by using it like this
Has anyone used an IC with high input logic voltages with no IC death?
Also will the spikes from the car's V+ damage the inputs?
Thanks
