AtomSoft Well-Known Member Jul 18, 2010 #1 Hey i have seen 18F datasheets where it says "Note 1: I/O pins have diode protection to VDD and VSS." but it seems that some PIC16F and other datasheets are made different where there isnt a I/O section at all but a PORT x section... How can i tell if these PICs have that diode protection? Would this image be all i need to know? If so then ok cool. i have to make sure before i blow something up....
