PICs could serve as counters up to 50 Mhz.
You could tristate outputs configuring them
as inputs, when values are "1", for example.

Were I to embark on making a frequency counter using
just a PIC ( minumim of external components , prescaler
optional ) which PIC would be the most appropraite ?

I think that the 16Cxx parts were pushed to 50MHz + ,
but can the Flash parts perform as well ? Where can I
find this kind of information ? Not the datasheet ...
Electrical specifications are not entirely clear .

And (  ;-)  ) I don't want exactly the manufacturer's=20
spec's ; I want to know what can I push for in the real
world ? Results of frequcnecy achieved may vary amongst=20
PIC's from the same batch etc regardless ? Push it to the
Max , let me get burned .
