Either I have to use a voltage regulator, or I could go back to the 555 which can handle the voltage, but that would mean more components again. I found the NXP S912ZVHY32F1VLL, 16bit HCS12Z Microcontroller which can handle up to 18 volts, but its not suitable for my needs.

Thank you all for the pointers so far. I havent played around with this for a long time, scary how quick I forget.

Use an Arduino and let its builtin regulator chop the voltage down to 5V.

I am tinkering with some projects requiring an ATTiny. To keep things simple I would like to use as few parts as possible. The powersource is 8.4 volts and so far I have been using a voltage regulator to bring the voltage down to 5 volts.

 

To save components I have been trying to find an alternative chip that can handle up to 9 volts, but still run nicely at 5 volts too. So far I have not been able to find such a replacement.

 

Do you have any suggestions?

 

Kind regards, Knut

Instead of a standard voltage regulator, you can use an LDO regulator. You can make a power supply module like this for your setup: https://www.pcbway.com/project/shareproject/MCP1700_Mini_Breakout_Board.html

MCP1700 can step down 8.4V to 5V with minimal additional circuitry.

I would never pick a board based on voltage, it's so trivial to adapt almost any supply to almost any voltage needed. I used to do a lot with RV's which are 12V, I had a standard rig of a buck from 12 to 7ish then a VR from 7ish to 5. YMMV.
