I just came from Microchip searching for a OTP equivalent of the 16F628A and either have overlooked it or maybe there isn't one. Usually the OTP are cheaper and I might save a dime or a penny, Any suggestions?
Thanks

I think you may be mistaken. OTP devices are generally more expensive than their flash equivalents. Take a look here:

Look for any 18-pin OTP device with 3.5K Flash and you will see that it costs more than the 16F628A.
Hi,
Time to wake up ....
OTP devices are disappearing, 16F628A is a 2K FLASH device and you just have to set the config word with "protect memory ON"

PS: looks you have forgotten the Forum SEARCH ... am I wrong ??? The topic is not "brand new" ...
Well, thanks for the reply, and yes I did do a search here on the forum. Perhaps its just this computer but when I searched this forum all I found in return was post that had the '628 mentioned in them. At Microchip's 8-bit page: http://www.microchip.com/ParamChartS...g=en&pageId=74
I just saw the flash, but thought I would ask to make certain that just because it is Monday that maybe I've missed something.
Anyhow, I do appreciate the info.
Thanks
