This forum is very refreshing - good content and respectful users!
I have a good amount of experience with PIC products, but not full-time day in and day out. My question is regarding the pros and cons of using the advanced versions of the PIC16f family vs the 18f family. I really like the analog peripherals amongst other features and I wonder what others think for new project development?
For example, I am looking at a redesign of a product that currently has been using the PIC16f887 for the last 5 years. I am looking at the PIC16f18877 as a replacement unit and have spent some time wading through the 600+(!) page data sheet looking for opportunities to simplify the original circuit design and take advantage of some of these features. I am not looking for a way to avoid reading the data sheet, just some other points of view.
