Hi there Can anyone tell me which are the differences between 16F877 and 16F877A? 10x Cosmin __________________________________ |

Microchip has a conversion chart in the 877A datasheet towards the end, so I recommend you take a look at that. They are interchangeable, to an extent, but the A's have an extra feature or two. The biggest difference I've found is that the A parts program much faster and with fewer errors, using my Epic programmer.

That is due to a totally different programming algorithm, so check whether your programmer explicitly supports the -A version.

The A version as functionality is a clone between 16F628 and 16F877, having the comparator from the first and the AD from the second As the programming algorithm, 877A is incompatible with F877. BTW, reading completely both data sheets will take some time If you have the datasheet in printed form and you don't need to print it first... top 10 wishes, Vasile http://surducan.netfirms.com On Tue, 27 May 2003, Cosmin Gheorghita wrote: > Hi there > > Can anyone tell me which are the differences between 16F877 and 16F877A? > > 10x > > Cosmin > __________________________________ > to unsubscribe, go to http://www.yahoogroups.com and follow the instructions |
