Max Voltage Input

Hey Everyone,
I think I asked before, but what is the MAX input Voltage for the VIN conection?

It sais 20V everywhere, but I took a Look at the Scematics and the TI datashet.
Would be posible to tell us how you kame to 20V? What limits the ICs not to go higer?

It would be great to get a official confirmation as it would allow to use 5s Liion Powertool Batterys
Hope for your awnser

Non-official answer

We have found the board to be very stable at 6Vdc.
No need to run high voltage on these boards.

High voltage just generates more heat, might lookup the specs on the VR’s and calculate the max power dissipation if you need to run from a higher voltage.
