14-pin PIC

PIC16F505

Yes, the '676 is my favorite in that group (and I'm not alone, judging by Digikey's stock). A distant second is the F684, followed by the F630.

In 18-pin, it's the F628 followed by the F819 (has ADC).

Nothing, IIRC, but the 819 is more established and 20% cheaper.

I think it's probably a good choice especially for low volume applications and for hobbyists who want to standardize on one relatively low-pin-count DIP/SOIC part in the 16F series.

What's special about the ADC in the F819 vs. the F88's ADC? I suppose I could look it all up, but I'm feeling lazy right now. ;-)

I like(d) the 628 too, but I'm stuck on the F88 for now with it's 8Mhz INTOSC, ADC and really low power requirements.

Thanks! All I need.

I guess that's where I come in then. I had always seen the F88 as the next logical step in the F84, F628 series. I honestly had never looked at the F819 before. I glanced thru the datasheet for it and I can see why it comes in cheaper. The F88 has twice the code space, 50% more RAM _and_ it uses slightly less power. It also has 2 comparators and 7 ADC channels. ;-) Interesting, the F819 has no ANSEL register, hmm... For my purposes, I'll likely just stay with the F88, until a "better" 18 pin part comes out (like with 12 bit ADC or faster internal clock).

I dunno. Maybe

Good Luck! Rich
