The B version is around 30% cheaper probably due to a die geometry
reduction.

Also, the max voltage you can pull RA4 (open drain) up to on the B version
has been lowered.

I think there are a few other spec differences as well, but they escape my
memory. You need to get the datasheets for both and do some careful
comparison.

I think the datasheet for the PIC16C73B actually has a chart near the end
that details the differences.

Good luck.

Hi folks
Does anybody knows the difference between a 16C73A and a 16C73B ?

Thanks Andy
