I'm interested in knowing what microcontrollers group members use when they are not using PICs -- specifically in low-power or high-temperature (>=150C) applications. I've used the MSP430 for low-power applications up to 125C and the PIC 16F877 for higher-temperature circuits. And in reference to high-temperature design, what part of the design fails first at the temperature rises -- I have observed the oscillator and external serial flash to be the first to go. Thanks. -Shawn _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx -- http://www.piclist.com hint: PICList Posts must start with ONE topic: [PIC]:,[SX]:,[AVR]: ->uP ONLY!
