    Sorry I was unclear.

    The most common I meant - easiest to find and cheapest to buy.
    I'm asking because when I built my nixie clock using PIC16F1519, many many people asked, whenever I can port code to PIC16F887, because it is much easier to buy than 1519.

    P.S. I've slimmed down my code to 2106 bytes Maybe I'll fit it into 16F628A

    Have a look at 16F1827. Same pin count, double memory but many more features and a new (relatively) chip which is less expensive too.

    The 628a is ancient ... With 1827 new ideas will come to your mind exploiting the features of the chip like touch, many timers or the bat voltage check with NO extra input ADC!

    Yes I'm looking for ancient chip, but with more memory.

    P.S. Another 40 bytes went away slimming down code even further.
