Read the data sheet.

What if it hasn't been written yet?

Why are you designing something for a chip that doesn't exist?

Ask the guy who is trying to sell you the chip?
Ask the guy who told you about the chip?
Use another chip.


Jim designs chips. There are no data sheets until the designs are
complete.

I don't design uP's or uC's, at least not complete ones... small local
controls, occasionally.

Here I have a analog situation where a floating input can cause high
currents (like 250mA) to flow, so I just wanted to make sure it was a
real problem before I added-in a fix. It's done, took me 4 MOS
transistors :-)


I thought you had done some analog parts of ASIC that had a stock CPU
design?
