So do I. But I would not even thing about using them for a
new application today. The newer PIC16F1xxx's are so much
nicer to work with. I also think that the timers are more
advanced and might have better features for your gating
requirements.

It also might be that some of the newer devices with the
"Configurable Logic Cell (CLCx)" option might be of use
for the 1 sec gating application. I have not looked into
into it in detail but maybe you could set it up to gate
the external signal with very low help from the code.

I think you are tying one arm behind you back by staying
with the obsolete 628.

Anyway, I *had* to say this and you are of course free
to use whatever device you like... :-)

Best Regards,
Jan-Erik.
