8MHz bootloader question

Can Arduino run at 5V on 8MHz Bootloader ?

Explanation:
I want to minimize the circuit and i want to drive relay on arduino without any transistor or driver.
so please tell me will it work if i give it 5V or will i burn it?

Thank you.

If you don´t use transistor, you will burn your ATMEGA.

Thank you for your answer :slight_smile:
i was thinking the same.

The ATMEGA pin can source (sorry, I don´t know if rigth is "source" or "supply") MAX 20mA
common coil of relay need 180mA at 5V.

Got it, thank you. :slight_smile:

"Can Arduino run at 5V on 8MHz Bootloader ?"

Yes it can.

Doesn't help if relay drive >35mA is needed as noted earlier.

The clock rate restriction is that lower voltages mean a lower maximum clock - so 3V3 is only guaranteed upto
about 12MHz for instance, and 5V to 20MHz... Running a lower clock rate has no adverse effects (except running
slower!)
