RE: [AVR-Chat] Re: /PEN pin on ATMEGA128 (2)

Hi Ridho,

Tie PEN to your supply (high) no need for a series resistor that’s just a waist of money…

The company I worked for had around 150.000 pieces of a product running all around the globe at the moment in all sorts of environments and it hasn’t failed so far with the PEN being tied high directly and using only SPI for programming.

PEN stand for Parallel Programming Enable if you’re not going to use this FORGET ABOUT IT! Tie it high and don’t listen to what the others say…

I know for a fact that it works when its high… our production numbers speaks its own language.

Regards

Lasse Madsen
