Tell me about the input tolerant function.
Input/output equivalent circuit and specifications of input/output allowable voltage are shown below:
The input tolerant function is a function to prevent current from input to the power supply when the input is set higher than the power supply voltage or when power supply VCC = 0V.
The specification of the allowable input voltage is described in the input voltage of recommended operating conditions. When input/output specification is 0 - VCC, voltage that exceeds VCC cannot be applied because the circuit has a diode.
The input voltage of VHC/LCX is 0 - 5.5V (with input tolerant function), so voltage up to 5.5V can be applied to input regardless of the power supply voltage. When the power supply voltage VCC = 3.3V, level conversion from 5V to 3.3V is available.
The input voltage of VCX is 0 - 3.6V (with input tolerant function), so voltage up to 3.6V can be applied to input regardless of the power supply voltage. When the power supply voltage VCC = 1.8V, level conversion from 3.3V to 1.8V is available.
