+12V input?

Hi all

Anyway of triggering a PDM input of a +12V signal without resorting to a pull down resistor?

Thanks in advance

When configuring the input pins there is the option for active high or active low. For 12v switched inputs use active high.

Unfortunately when no 12v signal is present the source isn't pull to ground so the pdm still gets pulled to +12v anyway by the internal pdm pull-up!

The PDM switch inputs were originally designed for pull to ground type switching so unfortunately the only way to wire a 12V switch into the PDM is by adding a pull down resistor.

Thanks for confirming Adrian.

I have managed to work how to fit them inside a Rostra cruise control stalk.
