Looks like the PIC16F886 might be available now. I just got a quote from Arrow showing a lead time of 11 weeks. They are not listed on MicrochipDirect yet. Points of interest are that they have 8K words of Flash (yeah!), and can run at 8MHz at 2V. Not sure if they lack anything compared to a PIC16F88. It doesn't say "Enhanced Flash" but apparently can read/write it's own Flash. -- Brent Brown, Electronic Design Solutions 16 English Street, St Andrews, Hamilton 3200, New Zealand Ph: +64 7 849 0069 Fax: +64 7 849 0071 Cell: 027 433 4069 eMail: brent.brown@clear.net.nz -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
