I am constructing a mobile IR-transmitter. It will use 4 x AAA (4 x 1.5V = 6V) batterys.
In the datasheet the absolute maximum VDD to a 16F88 is 6V.
Should i insert a diode to lower the voltage 0.5V or is it unnessecary? Can i use the absolute maximum voltage, or will the life get much shorter of the 16F88?
I will use rechargable batterys, and i think they don't have 1.5V but 1.2 or something, right. Or is that just old NiCD batterys?
