#188821 - It gets worse.
Responding to: ???'s previous message

While they proclaim 8-bit replacement, yet the LPC11xx and LPC8xx are *not* pin compatible with the LPC9xx/LPC7xx. This is in spite of the fact that the new LPC8xx's interconnect matrix allows to assign IO pins to the individual peripheral functions [almost] completely freely.

So much about how NXP cares about their loyal customers.


It gets worse.

NXP had a nice 8051 upgrade in their LPC98x/LPC97x, which brought Wide Vcc to fix a blind spot in there LPC9xx family.

Instead, they pull the rug, and now pitch a Narrow Vcc part, to replace Wide Vcc sockets ?!

Sounds like too many marketing degrees, and not enough designers left at NXP.

The 8 bit parts we are looking at, all have ADCs - so NXP remove that too !!

We need a small package, and that means small, not DIP8 !!

NXP stated aim, "to make 8-bit architectures obsolete"            01/01/70 00:00      
   Available in DIP!            01/01/70 00:00      
      no continuity            01/01/70 00:00      
         It gets worse.            01/01/70 00:00      
            We need a small package            01/01/70 00:00      
               Not small enough            01/01/70 00:00      
                  Funny, that!            01/01/70 00:00      
                     Nice size, shame about price            01/01/70 00:00      
            Poor NXP, XMC1000 series announced            01/01/70 00:00      
   No 5V option            01/01/70 00:00      
      just curious            01/01/70 00:00      
         Because it is useful.            01/01/70 00:00      
         RE: why the 5V fascination?             01/01/70 00:00      
            well, you will have to redesign anyhow.            01/01/70 00:00      
         Power MOSFET drive and 5V ADC            01/01/70 00:00      
         5V can be surprisingly useful            01/01/70 00:00      
            Most Automotive parts DO use 5V            01/01/70 00:00      
            why?            01/01/70 00:00      
               Close, but no Cigar...            01/01/70 00:00      
                  MOSFET driver            01/01/70 00:00      
                     Silabs 6V ports for Class D audio            01/01/70 00:00      
                     which means they were thinking about logic-level MOSFET driv            01/01/70 00:00      
                        I was looking for something like this            01/01/70 00:00      
                           isn't it a pity ..            01/01/70 00:00      
                              this            01/01/70 00:00      
                                 but that is ~15 bucks :)            01/01/70 00:00      
                                    for one off            01/01/70 00:00      
                                       four bucks!            01/01/70 00:00      
                                 Not 8051            01/01/70 00:00      
                                    HUH?            01/01/70 00:00      
                                       What??? Which SiLabs clocks at >168E6?            01/01/70 00:00      
                                          he means higher than 80Mhz            01/01/70 00:00      
                           just wait            01/01/70 00:00      
                        MOSFET drive            01/01/70 00:00      
               More than 5V tolerant inputs            01/01/70 00:00      
   yeah and your problem is?            01/01/70 00:00      
   You ask me Andy            01/01/70 00:00
