Yes, that's the number on the package 12C671/N. I have had them laying=20 around for more than a few years. This is a very simple, a delay for=20 power to stabilize, turn on one of the outputs for say a second, and=20 turn off the output. The power might be on for 10 minutes, and the off=20 for an hour before coming on again. This is a warning that our electric=20 house furnace is on, costing money instead of free natural gaa from our=20 well. The changeover system is automatic, and we need a warning that=20 something needs attention. I do have other chips available including some 18F1320 that are used in=20 other applications. Just thought would be a good use for these little 8=20 pin packages.
