 I need to connect the nRF52840 (Power by VBAT which is 3V down to 2.1V ) in SPI to another MCU which use constant DC2DC</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Fri, 10 May 2024 11:31:11 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/111050/nrf52840-vih-max-voltage-is-vdd" /><item><title>RE: nRF52840  VIH  MAX voltage  is VDD</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/482777?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 10 May 2024 11:31:11 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:82ad3946-a8e3-4391-b77c-3ad992281bfa</guid><dc:creator>Menon</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hello,&lt;/p&gt;
[quote user=""]Does the definition&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;VIH&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;max=VDD&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; is correct or a mistake?&amp;nbsp; On other MCUs&amp;nbsp; usually the VIH&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;max=VDD+0.5V&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; so the margin is 0.5V above the VDD of the nRF52840[/quote]
&lt;p&gt;Yes, I think the product specification is correct. Apart from the specification you pointed out, there is an absolute maximum rating section(Page No: 623, PS) that shows the maximum rating you can apply, or, I would say, the maximum ratings we have tested. So we recommend smooth working inside this bracket, and values outside have not been tested here.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Kind Regards,&lt;/p&gt;
