There are a number of temperature ranges, What is available for each part is typically in the datasheet near the end under "Product Identification System." This is from the PIC12F609/615/617/12HV609/615 datasheet: H =3D -40=B0C to +150=B0C (High Temp) I =3D -40=B0C to +85=B0C (Industrial) E =3D -40=B0C to +125=B0C (Extended) and from the PIC32MX1XX/2XX datasheet: I =3D -40=B0C to +85=B0C (Industrial) V =3D -40=B0C to +105=B0C (V-temp) The specifics of the temperature ratings for the parts are always in the datasheet, from my experience. If you're specifically looking for high temperature parts, the page at has links to the parts that have had reliability testing to AEC Q100 Grade 0 (+150=B0C) Matt Bennett Just outside of Austin, TX 30.51,-97.91 The views I express are my own, not that of my employer, a large multinational corporation that you are familiar with. --=20 http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
