    Jeeze...I don't know how many times I've done that to myself! I've done bunches of applications with the 12Fxxx and it seems like every time, I talk myself into the fact it's a 12-bit...only to RE-figure out after a few days that it's actually a 14.

    Some of the 12Fxxx series are 12-bit core. Just not this one. In general, 12F5xx are
    12-bit core, and 12F6xx are 14-bit core. The Program Memory Organization section of most
    data sheets will normally indicate the core type, so it's worth a quick check if you're not
    sure.
