View Full Version : Larger array possible if I move to 18Fxxx?

I'm not sure if I'm reading the manual correctly or not -

If I move my project to an 18F device (I'm thinking 18F252), can I use a large (~150 byte) array with PBP?

Alternatively, is there some method to use large arrays (or perhaps quickly swap the contents of two smaller arrays) with the 16F628A I am currently utilising?

Many thanks for any suggestions,

I am using an array of 2,000 bytes for a GPS data recording project with a 18F2620. Conceivably you could use all 3900 bytes of RAM for storage. The '628 is a great chip, but the 18 series kicks butt with extra features.

Thanks Ron, that's very useful. I will [attempt to] migrate my project to an 18F device :)
