How could you get a PIC to totally fry itself when a certain instruction was executed? I understand that it would probably require some external hardware, but where is it most easy to burn it out. I think the chip can handle alot of voltage most ways and I guess the best way would be to use a charge pump circuit and when a gate is active it would send a jolt through the MCU making it not function anymore. Even erasing the memory is good, but that would probably require more parts. Whats the general idea on this? Darren King
