I went ahead and grabbed a DSPIC33FJ64GP802 (DIP version) as I need the=20 rest of the order as soon as and therefore wanted to place before 5pm here. Also grabbed a PIC24HJ64GP202, and a couple of 24-bit Wolfson DACs=20 (WM8524 and WM8523) for good measure. Microchips website and product search tool is not the best for figuring=20 out what's what (e.g. new, with feature x, etc) so I just picked at=20 random one that appeared to have an onboard 16-bit DAC and Codec peripheral= .. Still interested in hearing about other DSP capable uCs though, even=20 non-PIC or FPGA tools (e.g MATLAB/Scilab HDL DSP tools, etc) --=20 http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
