Re: Any thoughts on q41 parts?

The chip shortage is kind of why i'm looking at these new parts, they cover most bases 12bit, 5v 64mhz and pps, except usb, and we are moving away from pic based usb anyway.

my plan was to buy some and test them and then buy a batch for stock if all looks good.

Thanks again.

Re: Any thoughts on q41 parts?

Thanks for that Jerry. I have now ordered one and will design a test board to check out some of the features and report back.


on another Note was the Q43 sram errata fixed ? and if so, is it easy to get the new silicon?

Any thoughts on q41 parts?

Re: recent compiler problems

that fixes it.

Thanks Jerry.

I did check one of the other pcb's with the preaviously used 14k50 and the baud rate was correct at 9600 . so i'm pretty sure something changed.

I must admit I don't normally use that low a baud rate but it was needed for historical reasons.

USB problems with windows 10

Has anyone noticed usb problems with windows 10? We have a few older products that use USB hid, where we haven't changed firmware for a few years and we are starting to see connection problems on some computers, has anyone noticed this happening?
