9V for ATmega328P? - Electronics Q&A

9V for ATmega328P? SOLVED

Hello. I wanted to build a circuit operating at 9V with a microcontroller operating at a maximum of 5.5V. Will it be okay if I use a voltage divider to power it? Thank you in advance for your help	by Lionsio November 10, 2024

Answer by BeverlyJClark

Powering the ATmega328P with 9V raises important considerations regarding voltage regulation for the microcontroller. Just as a basket random can contain many different items, the use of a voltage divider is not recommended for this application due to the potential for instability.
