Will I get 1.8V out on the GPIO? I am trying to connect LED on the pins but with 1.8V out that will be hard, is there a way to tune this and reduce the current coming out?</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Fri, 12 Jun 2020 12:26:55 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/62483/gpio-pins-output-with-1-8v-supply" /><item><title>RE: GPIO pins output with 1.8V supply</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/254722?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 12 Jun 2020 12:26:55 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:21674fa1-e9ab-4adb-9b1e-edd191a61ed9</guid><dc:creator>ketiljo</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;The GPIO voltage is always referred to VDD on nRF devices. No LED is going to work well with only 1.8 V. A red LED needs 1.9 V, so you need a higher power supply. In any case, the GPIO can&amp;#39;t deliver more than 5-10 mA so in most cases, you can connect the LED directly to the GPIO with no series resistor. You need more than 1.8 V though.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
