As per datasheet it is 250mA. and my measurement shows (ENC + magnetics) 150mA. Eventhough it is lesser than specfied value, 150mA looks big for me. IC is getting hot when running (First time i am encountering this with a digital ic). 250mA is the worst case number from datasheet, I like to know the typical number ? Anybody worked on ENC got similar issues ? regards, palani -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
