#104909 - LPC932 is not reliable component
I have some flash corruption problem with LPC932. It is not just flash scrambling sometimes chips are damaged. I sent chips into PHILIPS.
The PHILIPS support keep talking how chips (what I sent) are good.
I found old thread from AUG 05. It seems it is not finished.
Yes I'm using IAP/ISP and no extern RST.
What to do if Voltage Supervisor doesn't work under some voltage threshold.
I found the following explanation from one of supervisors manufacturer:
"Ensuring A Valid Reset Output Down To VCC = 0

When VCC falls below chip working voltage, (active low) RESET output no longer sinks current; it becomes an open circuit. In this case, high-impedance CMOS logic inputs connecting to (active low) RESET can drift to undetermined voltages. In applications where (active low) RESET must be valid down to 0V, adding a pull-down resistor to (active low) RESET cause any leakage currents to flow to ground, holding (active low) RESET low."
Thanks,
