Spent most of the day without any success, researching on Microchip site=20 and back archived emails + web, looking for a possible answer to the=20 following: What does the "K" in Microchip part numbers mean for example PIC18F44K20 ? or What does the "J" in Microchip part numbers mean for example PIC18F46J50 ? I just picked these two from a list,thinking that it would help in=20 researching ... but sigh ... datasheets for reference: http://www.microchip.com/wwwproducts/Devices.aspx?dDocName=3Den026338 http://www.microchip.com/wwwproducts/Devices.aspx?dDocName=3Den539708 When you go to almost the last page; to section "PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION=20 SYSTEM" it offers no help. I found a previous (archived post back in 24/06/2011)post: [PIC] Figuring out Microchip part numbers? by HaroldHallikainen (with reference to different PIC) ...but isn't quite what I'm after... but in a way close. Having been away from PIC's for some years, Microchips product range has=20 grown drastically. I don't have a part in mind yet to point this post to, otherwise I would=20 link it here. I'm hoping there might be a document that explains this, or at least=20 narrows it down a little. Does anyone know of any documentation of sorts that might explain the=20 PIC part numbers? else what terms to type in to search for.
