Hi folks, I am looking for an IC that I can use to protect a data bus from the outside world so to speak.
Basically the data bus is going to be connected to a possibly unstable environment and I need to protect against voltage spikes upto roughly 40V.
The data bus is connected to a PIC and therefore needs to be able to swing upto +5V and down to 0V.
So basically what I'm looking for is a voltage clamp from 0V to 5V that will not get damaged by voltages as high as 40V.
Any ideas are very much appreiciated.
