Snip -
Especially for LED blinking where a cheapo,4 bit unit is usually sufficient.

Question -

What is a cheapo, 4 bit unit? and what kind of ball park pricing are they for 10K units?

I have been using the 12F629 but would be interested in cheaper options. These costs about $1 now in larger quantities and are the most expensive part of the product.

Thanks,

Paul
