Do you realize that you have (4) NC pins - usually those are the extra (4) pins The ICDDATA, ICDCLK, DBMCLR/VPP pins should be terminated the same way you did in the dip form -----Original Message----- From: Hazelwood Lyle [mailto:LHazelwood@MFGNC.COM] Sent: Thursday, February 06, 2003 10:48 AM To: PICLIST@MITVMA.MIT.EDU Subject: [PIC]: From DIP to PLCC I am moving a project from 18F458 DIP to PLCC. The "extra" four pins are marked: NC ICDDATA ICDCLK DBMCLR/VPP I can handle the NC, but how (if at all) should I terminate the other three? I checked the datasheet, but only found the purpose for the pins, no info on suggested termination if they aren't being used. I am NOT planning any debugger connection, I just want to place them in a stable, inactive state. Any suggestions would be welcomed.
