    Default NVRAM storage inside a PIC?

    I'm making a project in Pic Basic that will need some non-volatile memory so I can store settings.

    The settings are a relatively small amount of information, numbers etc.

    I need the settings to remain in the PIC regardless of power or no power and also be changable via my program.

    Does anyone know a suitable PIC? 18 pin footprint, preferably with built in NVRAM?


    Many Thanks,

    Dan

    Don't know about NVRAM - but many PICs have on-board EEPROM which is retained when power is off.
    Limited erase / write cycles, so if you need to write the data very often the EEPROM may not work for you.

    Settings for a chip should be done in EEProm which is on board. If your logging data external NVRAM would be better.
