That's exactly why you're here in the list!

The PIC16C61 comes in a 18PIN PDIP, SOIC and windowed CERDIP package.
20PIN SSOP is also available. It's basicly pincompatible to the other
18PIN members of the PIC16CXX family.

Speed: DC to 20MHz
14bit wide instructions
2 pages EPROM (1024x14 k)
36 registers
8 level deep stack
3 interrupt sources
        - ext. Int (PIN6)
        - TMR0 timer
        - PortB<7:4> interrupt on change
13 I/O Pins
25mA sink per pin
20mA source per pin
TMR0: 8bit rtcc with 8bit prescaler
WDT, POR, OST
SLEEP mode
RC,LP,HS,XT osc.
serial ISP of EPROM using 2 pins

There a few types not in the '94 databook.

They have:
        PIC16C620       PIC16C621       PIC16C622
RAM     80              80              128
ROM     512             1024            2048
two analog comparators with programmable referece/treshhold

There is a 16C63, but I missed the data's :-(

Also there is another "high performance risc-like CPU",
the PIC16C65. It seems to be a PIC16C64 with 4096ROM and 192 RAM.
Then I've been told about the PIC16C73.
It's a PIC16C74 in a 28PIN package. So it has only 22 I/O PINS (no Port D).
BTW: The PIC16C71 got a new revision (B-Revision) without the bug
regarding the ext. INT.

So, thats all I know about the new stuff. I hope someone can
add a info about the PIC16C63.

Bye
          Henri
