Future CAN microcontrollers
2005-03-30 by Varuzhan Danielyan
My question is for Philips group. Some time ago on this forum was information, that Philips plans to start this year production of USB and then new CAM (LPC2139?) microcontrollers. Now I am finishing a design of a new module with the LPC2129 and want to make the PCB, if possible, to be compatible with the future CAM microcontroller. I examined the LPC2138 documentation, and noticed, that only pin 17 has another functionality. Pins 49 and 63 are still power, only 3.3V instead of 1.8V. Now my question. I put a 0 Ohm resistor between the pin 17 and pins 49, 63. In case of the LPC2129 I will mount it and connect all them to 1.8V source and for future microcontroller the resistor should not be mounted and 49,63 pins I will connect to 3.3V source. Is my guess right? I am sure, that the answer will be of common interest. Great thanks in advance, Varuzhan [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
