Sep 4, 2017 at 10:07 comment added frarugi87 @AliChen in fact skipping the 3.3V regulator is not used because of speed issues (the attiny does not support 16.5MHz at 3.3V, only at 5V; the first versions using an attiny2313 used it out of specs - 12MHz @ 3.3V is not supported)
Sep 1, 2017 at 20:44 comment added Ale..chenski Olin, This is an example of bit-banging low-speed USB, where computing enthusiasts skipped even on 3.3V regulator. So the GPIO pins are running from 5-V rail, and therefore 3.3V clipping is needed. One shouldn't confuse this ATtiny with PIC18, where they have a dedicated USB PHY bonded to dedicated pins, all perfectly certifiable to USB standards.
