I'm trying to understand a section of the Arduino Uno's schematic. http://i.stack.imgur.com/r9NgC.gif From the arduino's site it recommends that Vin should be between 7 and 12V. However, I was reading the datasheet for the comparator (http://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/lmv358.pdf) and it seems that the voltage range is -0.2 to 5.7V for the input pin.
As a result, wouldn't 12V damage the chip since 12V would input 6V into the comparator?
Thanks for the help in advance!
