This is getting rediculous. Several people including me have already told you several times what voltage the 16F887 will run down to and roughly what the main tradeoff is. But in any case you need to look up the details yourself. The operating voltage is clearly given in the data sheet right where you'd expect to find it. I even remember telling you the page to look at. Why should we continue to help you if you won't do simple and necessary things yourself like looking in the data sheet? If you don't understand what it says, then ask about that, but don't just ask people to look up the answer for you in the data sheet. I remember you did have some confusion about absolute maximum specs. You got several explainations when you asked about that, including where to find the operational voltage limits you were seeking. So I guess you ignored the answers and never read the data sheet anyway? ******************************************************************** Embed Inc, Littleton Massachusetts, http://www.embedinc.com/products (978) 742-9014.
