[0026] The microcontroller can be anything with a maximum 5V rating on the IO pins, so anything above 5V can damage the microcontroller, the first zener diode D1 used in the overvoltage protection circuit of the microcontroller will work normally in the case of overvoltage, if the voltage is greater than 5.1V, the zener diode will pass current and control the voltage up to 5.1V, but below 5.1V, the zener diode will work like a normal diode and block.
[0027] As a preferred, the zener diode protection circuit structure includes an input voltage V, the input voltage V is connected with the ground through the second zener diode D2, one end of the second zener diode D2 is also connected with the power supply end through the first resistor R1, the positive of the power supply end is connected with the negative of the power supply end V1 through the first capacitor C1, and the negative of the power supply end V1 is also connected with the ground, wherein the first resistor R1 is 100R, and the second zener diode D2 connected with the ground is 1N4099.
[0028] The first resistor R1 and the second zener diode D2 are two components for protecting the output from overvoltage protection, wherein the second zener diode D2 is a 6.8V zener diode, and if V1 exceeds 6.8V, the output will be protected, and due to the 6.8V reference voltage of the second zener diode D2, the output will be kept at a maximum of 6.8V.
