There are many many PICs that meet your requirements. Since you are mentioning manual soldering I'll assume this is for a one off or low volume project. My choice would be the 30F3013, which is available in 28 pin DIP. It has 12 bit A/Ds where other choices only have 10 bit. It's also faster and therefore the "DAC" output via PWM has a higher bandwidth. However you didn't give bandwidth spec for the D/A, so that can be done in software. If you know what you're doing and can live with the constraints, the UART can be done in software too, but I don't recommend that. The smallest PIC to suite your needs is the 16F688 which comes in a 14 pin DIP. That's half the size of the 30F3013. Again, there are many choices in between. ***************************************************************** Embed Inc, embedded system specialists in Littleton Massachusetts (978) 742-9014, http://www.embedinc.com -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
