Simple as 16F870, but with built-in oscillator and ADC reference?

Thanks a lot!

First 3 chips are good, but their ADC is only 8 bits.
Last chip is good, but it has too many functions.
What I actually need, is 12F1840 in 14 or 16 pin package - it has fast internal oscillator, nice set of features, but nothing I don't need, just 8 pin package is small. IF it has big brother in 16F family, that will be great!

Only you know what you need and what you consider "too many functions". Use the parametric search function and pick the best one for your needs.

Heck, I only use a fraction of the functions on most of the PICs I use in my projects. I've found that a particular family works for me, and tend to use this for similar projects as I already have the code and it makes life easy. Unless I actually need a function such as USB which is only available on a selection of PICs, I stick with what I know. It may be different for commercial projects where cost is a factor, but for hobby stuff I don't think it matters

If you expand the options at the foot of the product page for the 12F1840 on Microchip's web site it displays around half a dozen "similar devices" with pin counts of 14 or more, such as a 16F1824
