PCM2900C: Differences between the PCM2900C Datasheet and User's Guide reference schematics

Part Number: PCM2900C

(1) in PCM2900C's Datasheet, the resistor from VBUS (pin 3) to the USB V+ is spec'd in the reference schematic for both the "High Performance" and the "not so High Performance" versions of the schematic as 2.2Ω.  In the PCM2900C's "User's Guide" [sbau195.pdf], however, only the "High Performance" schematic (with a REG103GA-A regulator) is shown, and "R004" is spec'd as 0Ω.  Does it matter enough to worry?

(2) Also, the decoupling caps from pin 10 to ground and pin 14 to ground differ between the two versions (10uF in the Datasheet; 1uF in the User's Guide). The Datasheet just says to use a decoupling cap; I assume either is fine?  If a 1uF ceramic chip will also work just as well for the pin 10 and pin 14 caps, it'd take up less space than a 10uF tantalum.

(3) Should I disregard the lonely 0.0018uF cap in the User's Guide floating down near the bottom left corner? [You have to zoom WAAAY in to see the value.]

Thanks!

  • Hi, Rob,

    Welcome to E2E, Thanks for your interest in our products!.

    Please refer to my comments below:

    1- The resistor in the application circuit is used to filter out the possible high frequency noise from the Vbus supply of the USB line. This might not be used in the end system, it depends on the end-requirements. The EVM has a 0Ω resistor to give the user an option to populate a different component according to end-system requirements.

    2- Altough the use of 10µF cap is preferred, the use of 1µF cap is fine.

    3- Yes, this cap is not used, the EVMs of these parts are quite old and this seems to be a typo...
