Recommendations on 18-pin PIC |

I have just realized that the PIC I am using (16F84) does not have enough memory for the program I'd like to implement. I was hoping someone could recommend another micro with more RAM (about 2 or 3 times as much) but about the same size and weight (i.e. a 40 pin PIC is way too heavy for my application).
Thanks in advance,

Try looking at the following:
PIC16F648A
PIC16F819
PIC16F87
PIC16F88
Each one has 4-5 times the RAM and also have other additional features. IT looks like they cost a bit less too.

You can easilly compare prices, RAM, ROM, pin count, etc., and filter them out at the Microchip website.
www.microchip.com
Click on:
PICmicro Microcontrollers --> Memory Type: FLASH
and you'll get an exhaustive table of all PIC flash pic parts. And for the most part, you can assume pin-to-pin compatibility among each of them. |

PIC16F688, 14 pin, 7168 bytes ROM, 256 bytes RAM. And save another gram or two by using the internal oscillator. |

Yeah, i'd agree with Andrew especially since all I have is PCH.
For a somewhat simple program though, i'd get the cheapest one if several thousand of the product will be shipped. |
