I'm drooling over the list that has the new 8 pin PIC parts on it.
     I'm looking at the PIC12C670/671.  Eight pins, WITH AN A/D, and I'm
     thinking - JUST GIVE ME A PWM AND I'M IN FAT-CITY!!!!

     Hey Microchip -  PUT A PWM AND THE A/D in one of the 8 pin parts.

     Then I could use it for my analog designs.  A control system...
     In software...
     Initial conditions all programmed in...
     No weird boundary conditions...
     A couple of lines from the processor to synchronize it/reset it.  If
     it sells for four - eight dollars I could even afford to design it in.

     Wow, I'm getting dizzy just thinking about it.

     I see little 8 pin parts everywhere  :)

     Life is good.
