See what I mean...  When you are persistent, it ticks off some people.
 Some people just don't get it.  

micro, did you notice that Robert "thanked" me for my persistence? 
That was the only reason that I continued to ask further.  If he does
not like the question or does not want to answer, I think he can
decide that for himself and respond appropriately.  

I am not here to "stir things up".  I think I am making a valid point
that the information that he is willing to provide to us here, should
be available to everyone considering the chip.  Not many users will
find their way to this group.  Also, not everyone wants to build a
board just so they can measure the current.  I don't think very many
eval boards provide for current measurement points.  

I do agree about the support.  It is very nice to be able to ask
questions and get them answered quickly.  Thanks Robert and the others
from Philips.  You are doing a good job here. 

But like I said, I need the larger 144 pin chip in a smaller package,
so I am not too worried about the data sheets for myself.  I was just
trying to help.  I won't bother you any more... :)

Not me. All those questions and answers are very important to me.

Hehehem, what kind of reply is that? If you do this to one customer,
you'll run out of bussines very soon.

Not true. I am very interested in LPC parts, their power consumption
and package size. I was asking those questions (and lot of others) at
the local seminar about LPC family. Unoftunately I didnt' get
answers.

That works for hobby projects. Can you imagine the company evaluating
various boards, measuring characteristics etc. instead of making money
with final product? I can't. 

And please redsp, bother us! This is the way to make things better.
