gtp usb pcb
The 18F2550 is a 28-pin device. The 18F4550 is a 40-pin device. The 2550 has fewer I/O pins and fewer ADC channels. They are otherwise identical. They have the same amount of code ROM, data ROM, RAM, and other than as stated above, the same peripherals.
Since the 4550 has more pins, you would have to change the layout to accommodate the larger chip. IMHO, more trouble than it is worth. Besides, you can't get the firmware for the plus version. You must purchase a 2550 with firmware installed.
Peace,

I have only 18f4550, and can't find others at this time (and maybe so far). So, can I use 4550 for above gtp usb schematic with the same hex file? I read in datasheet and nothing is diffenrent excepts memory Smile
