I am looking for a microcontroller with the attributes listed below. It is for a network interface that will be interfacing with only one digital or analog I/O. It is desirable use a battery for powering the device. It will be sending the value of the I/O along with a date/time stamp. A few microchip solutions have been listed below, but I would be interested it there is a better solution. Any input would be appreciated. - Ethernet - 8-bit or less - Low power consumption (Battery, Power over Ethernet) - Small - Inexpensive - Less than 4 A/D channels - Minimal 8 to 16 I/O's PIC10F200 http://www.microchip.com/stellent/idcplg?IdcService=SS_GET_PAGE&nodeId=1335&dDocName=en019863 PIC12F675 http://www.microchip.com/stellent/idcplg?IdcService=SS_GET_PAGE&nodeId=1335&dDocName=en010114 PIC12F683 http://www.microchip.com/stellent/idcplg?IdcService=SS_GET_PAGE&nodeId=1335&dDocName=en010115 PIC16F676 http://www.microchip.com/stellent/idcplg?IdcService=SS_GET_PAGE&nodeId=1335&dDocName=en010213
