8 pin DIP w/6 outputs ?

[Sam]

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,

And with one output 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 ?
