The MPC8555E core voltage must always be provided at nominal 1.2 V (see
for actual
recommended core voltage). Voltage to the processor interface I/Os are provided through separate sets of
supply pins and must be provided at the voltages shown in

respect to the associated I/O supply voltage. OV

based receivers are simple CMOS I/O
