Not clear what you mean ?
The pull-up capacitor was connected between VCC and what? AFAIK, a decoupling capacitor is used between VCC and ground and hence my confusion.
- gumby 4y agoInstead of a pull-up resistor between the uart vcc pin and vcc, there was an electrolytic cap. That is why I put “capacitor” in italics — I was trying to emphasize how nonsensical it was. To the DC power to the chip the cap was of course an open circuit and thus by shorting it out I powered the chip up. I assume it was a fumblefinger on the CAD system.
