Protecting logic inputs and outputs that go to external connectors
Mar 21st, 2014, 3:53am
 
Hi,

I have two boxes that I'd like to connect together so that when one triggers the other one triggers too. I've come up with the following circuit which I've prototyped and it seems to work well.

The logic signals will end up going to a connector though, and I'm nervous about damage to the devices through over voltage connection and ESD etc.

What sort of protection should I be looking at using to protect the devices?

Thanks,

G
