A discussion group for the PICMicro microcontroller. Also called the Microchip PIC, this list is dedicated to the use and abuse of this fine, simple, microcontroller. Close to topic posts are welcome, ie. general electronics.

not
likely, but could happen. 16F84A is more likely to be available in the
future.
But why
use a chip that much more expensive than the newer ones? check for instance the 16F628A, 16F630.

Yes! The 'F84A replaces the 'F84 and that is on the way out too, with the
'F627/8 doing more and cheaper with little code change. I believe any new
84's being bought are NOS (new old stock). Don't count on them being around
very much longer.

I may be wrong, but I don't think Microchip has ever obsoleted a chip without having a better drop-in replacement.
