I have two micro processor in which I need to connect both of them to the same single pole switch which is grounded on one side. One of the micro processors is sitting at 12v while the other is sitting at 5v. I just cant connect these two inputs together and than connect them to the grounded switch...can I?
connecting them together may cause damage or premature triggering. What circuit should go between them? They are just inputs so there should only be a few ma of current. I was considering a diode between the inputs but thought the voltage drop across the diode might cause issues.
The current circuit is very similar to the one attached.
