Witch PIC Microship to choose?

[John Miller]

I assume you mean microchip (microship is the Nomadic Research Labs!).

Microchip show the prices for all their products (in US dollars). For
example:

http://www.microchip.com/ParamChartSearch/chart.aspx?branchID=1004&mid=10&lang=en&pageId=74

The website is very easy to navigate. You can get all the datasheets and
other support documentation.

Hope this helps.

John.

Hello!
I would like to know how/where i can choose a PIC. I already went to
Microship, but i would like to know prices... Does anyone know where i

could

find a catalog online? Else a price list...

Digikey caries microchip products. Check out their information on this page

Microchip mentions prices at their website, but these are really
positive indications. Probably for 1000 pieces or more.
A possible source for price information is www.farnell.com
They are not the cheapest but this should give you an impression of
prices and they are located in several countries (you didn't mention
your country).

One funny thing I noticed is that most newer chips are cheaper than
the older designs, even when the newer chips are more veratile. The
only explanation I can think of is that these chips are cheaper
because of more efficient production technologies.

For small to medium programs my favorite is the PIC16F628.

Apologies to the original poster, but the image of ...

little "witches" flying on "microships"

is too good to pass up. Too bad it isn't the Haloween season.

And as I must apologize to you, but Halloween has
2 L's, not one. :o)

Indeed. Sorry.

Hmm. There's an apostrophe, too. Hallowe'en. (Halloweven - All Hallows'
Eve)

So many pagan festivals, too little time....

I assume he does.

PICs are certainly available in many formats and are inexpensive but I
would always recommend
any of the now extensive family of 8051 variants for a microcontroller
application.

The basic 8031/8051/8751 - all CMOS now of course, have great I/O as
standard and the
derivatives have a wealth of A-D, D-A, PWM, extra timers etc options.

Better still, the basic chip is available from multiple vendors,
avoiding the single-source
dilemma of the PIC, and many of the more advanced versions are
multi-sourced too. E.g. I have
just been using the 89C52 ( Flash ROM ) which is available from both
Philips and Atmel.

Best of all - the architecture is identical across all variants with
only sub or supersets of
the I/O to take into account. The core always remains the same.

Now available too are variants that operate internally faster per clock
cycle ( typically 2x
and 6x compared to the originals ) but maintain compatability with the
original parts.

The latest LPC series from Philips are just insanely inexpensive too.

Effectively it was MicroChip... Sorry.

Thank you!
