I'm appealing to the experts here to provide some advice as to PIC models. I had already started down a poor path with this project, so I decided it's time to consult with others.
I was targeting the PIC12C508A for production, while using a PIC16F84A for development (since the latter is flashable). I recently found that those devices are rather old, and that the PIC12F629 is a much better chip than the 508A for a whole host of reasons (cheap, flash memory, more RAM, more ROM, EPROM, 20 MHz, comparator, etc).
So my question is this. Is the PIC12F629 the most modern "version" of the 508A? I assume the PIC16F628A is the "big brother" to the PIC12F629, as the PIC16F84A is to the 508A. Sound about right?
