next-generation PMU discussion / Memory 1.8V

[joerg at openmoko.org]

Very sure our RTC should move from PMU to MPU.
So is there any more need to have a backup battery for the PMU? Can we share 
the battery between 50366 and 430?

Andy: ts scanning won't keep the MPU awake, a touch is triggering a 
hw-interupt on the A/D-input of 430. So no touch, no op (not even NOP ;)


So anybody here who's unhappy with the MSP430FG4618?
Before I start to read the next 100 pages of manual to check if it meets our 
specs.

I'd suggest MSP430FG4618. More RAM (8K) than xx19. Price of this CPU (and all 
xx461x) 12.95$. 
Even MSP430F157 is 7.35$, and it got only 1k RAM. And the large footprint.
