Someone sent me a hex file for a 12F509, all I have in my parts box is a bunch of 12C509 chips. Will the code still work using the 509's. Years ago I remember an article on how to interpret the Microchip hex code file to determine the chip that the file was compiled for. Anyone know how to do this?
Can someone help, i would like to start a pll synthesizer project, frequency must range from 88.5-108mhz steep of 50k, a pic 12f629 controller and a mc145170 pll ic. This must be a single frequency. Some time back i remember a website call freddospage.nl had some pll with the pic12f629 but thay ware for saa1057 -tsa5511-tsa6057ic but not the mc145170 can you help me with the controller hexcode.
yours fathfuly

I think the main difference between the C & the F is that the F uses flash memory, making it re-programmable. The C series is program once only. Perhaps I'm wrong, trying to recall some readings from sometime ago.

They were talking about what certain hex codes meant in a 16C54 and that they were different for the 16C84 (now 16F84). Sorry I am dating myself!! I believe it was the second, maybe third set of hex codes or at least in the first line. The discussions lead to use of a hex code editor that could change individual characters to get the needed results.
I suppose one could compile a simple program and look at the results in the hex code to identify the difference. Not sure it is worth the trouble.
