I have recently started writing a blog on PIC16F628A. I am using mikroC PIC compiler. You will also find where to buy low cost PIC Programmers?

Nice looking site Raj.
By the way, what are their differences? They are all 8 bits right? Differences?
Nick,
I am experimenting on PIC16F628A these days. You can see what am I doing at Experiments with PIC16F628A
Thanks.

Probably i will buy this. 18 pin is enough right? By the way, what is the difference between 18, 28 and 40 pins? Is it the I/O?
Secondly, What is oscillator used for?
Ic, But the chip i am going to buy does not have built-in oscillator. What should i do then? External? How?Nick
Yes, the more pins you have then the more ports you have available for output/input.
The oscillator determines how fast the micro-controller will perform your code, one code instruction is executed for every 4 clock cycles so if you have am 4MHz clock your 'application' will run at 1Mhz or 1 million instructions per second.

Nick I would simply suggest that you buy one with an internal RC to save you some trouble.
RC = Resistor/Capacitor type osc.
how do you calc the RC osc?
