16F628...  16F628...  16F628...

In my opinion, they are the cutest chips ever produced by microChip so
far...  I am switching ALL my previous projects (16F84) to be using the
16F628...  They have tons of features, serial interface, internal RC
oscillator (this one I love), etc, and to top it all, they are cheap (only
$2.05 each if you buy 100 of them from Digikey)...

Subject: [PIC]: My first question to the list!


Hi all,

I'm a newbie to the list. I am just learning about PICs. Thanks to great
books by people like Myke Predko, Paul Benford, Gordon Macnee, Nigel
Gardner, Peter Birnie and John Morton, it's all *just* starting to make
sense to me - thanks guys!

I have now written 3 little projects for the PIC12C508A - one of which has
been produced in reasonable quantities and shipped without a hitch. I am now
working on a project that will use the cheapest 18-pin I can find - most
likely the PIC16C52, 53 or 54.

I have searched everywhere, and I can not confirm if these devices have the
weak pull-ups on Port A and/or Port B. Can anybody confirm whether they have
them or not and how to set them?

Also, is the PIC16C52 still made? There is no reference to them on the
Microchip site, yet I can still buy them from Farnell. Could be just old
stock.

Regards,

Sean Alcorn
