===== CV Protection ===== CV protection is something you have to be aware of when doing CV related mods. If your CV device outputs too high a voltage, or even a negative voltage, then the out-of-bounds input might just hose your x0xb0x. Here are a few ideas on how to deal with the problem. ==== Protection from Negative CV ==== VerifyMe: Just connect the cathode of a [[diode]] between the CV in and the rest of your circuit. This should shunt any negative voltage to ground before affecting the rest of your ciruit. CV In o-----+-----O Circuit | - ^ Diode | --- GND ==== Protection from Extreme Positive CV ==== VerifyMe: Use a ZenirDiode, set up like the above, but instead of shunting it to ground.
