Post by thread:16c554 vs 16c554a

Hi Folks, Does anybody know the difference between the 16C554 and the 16C554A? I went over the data sheets and the only obvious difference I can see is that the 'A' series has a more restricted voltage range.

"A" version chips are smaller die, so cheaper to make, so all new designs should be of this type. Russell
