MAX7360 input voltage range

Thread Summary

The user inquired about the allowable voltage range for GPIO inputs, particularly Port6 and 7, when using an optical 5V rotary encoder. The final answer confirmed that GPIO inputs accept logic levels up to VCC (max 3.6V), requiring a 5V to 3.3V logic level translator like the MAX14959 or MAX3373E for compatibility with a 5V encoder.

Hello,

What is the allowable voltage range of GPIOs when configured as inputs of this chip, especially Port6 and 7 for rotary switch encoder. Examples use 3.3V as voltage source using mechanical encoders, but can these GPIOs can be used with an optical 5V rotary encoder ?

These can be used up to 14V as open drain outputs, but it is not clear if this is true when they are used as inputs.

Thanks in advance,
