I need to control an RF transmitter IC, through a SPI port.
It looks like the PIC12F508/509 is the ~lowest cost 8-bit Flash
microcontroller available. Digikey show this at $.78 for one and
$.55 in volume.
Is there any similar controller that costs less ?
thanks,
-steve

For example the ATTiny45. The low pin versions are available in SOIC8 and DIL-8. They run at 1.8V up to 5.5V and have max. 20 MIPS at 20 MHz.

Mouser has 10f200 at $0.49/ea. They're 8-bit Flash.

Go with Microchip.
I use MPLAB IDE 8.46, C18 C compiler, and ICD3 as programmer/debugger.
