Hello. I wanted to build a circuit operating at 9V with a microcontroller operating at a maximum of 5.5V. Will it be okay if I use a voltage divider to power it? Thank you in advance for your help |

Powering the ATmega328P with 9V raises important considerations regarding voltage regulation for the microcontroller. Just as a basket random can contain many different items, the use of a voltage divider is not recommended for this application due to the potential for instability. |
