I have been searching Microchip.com and haven't found any 8 pin DIP PIC's with 6 output. The MCLR is always an input only, which I basically understand but is there any model with 6 outputs.
Thanks,
Steve

As far as I know you will always have Vdd, VSS and MCLR.
What are you trying to do? Maybe there is another solution?

Always wear safety glasses while programming.
The simple answer to that is, control 6 LED's separately with only a 8 pin DIP package.

And with one input to spare.

Hi Dave,
I figure (?) you're talking about tip 2 I/O multiplexing ? That may just work for my application. I'll take a close look at it now, it however means redesigning my PCB and changing the code.
And wouldn't it leave 2 outputs to spare, GPIO.4 and .5 ?
Thanks,
SS
EDIT: or was it tip 3 ?

Here is another option.

But it would be a complete redesign.
