Don't know about the AD's Yep - look at the 'C' family of parts instead of the 'F' parts. I use 16c73B in my current generation of oven control systems and have had NO problems getting them. I spent an hour on the phone yesterday with my local FAE trying to find a currently shipping part with 10 bit or better a/d on board - the best fit was the 16F876. I can get sample parts right now (FAI) and but, like you, was told that production quantities are 18 weeks away. My client will have to decide if that is acceptable. I'm not stuck on flash - OTP is just fine for my stuff. The only reason for looking at the 16f876 was the 10 bit a/d. Like I said, no problems getting OTP to this point in time. dwayne Dwayne Reid Trinity Electronics Systems Ltd Edmonton, AB, CANADA (780) 489-3199 voice (780) 487-6397 fax Celebrating 15 years of Engineering Innovation (1984 - 1999) * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Do NOT send unsolicited commercial email to this email address.
