I was refering PIC as Programable Integrated Circuit The name "PIC" as a brand-name for Microchip's range of microcontrollers is so well established that you will only cause confusion with this peculiar (in the nice sense) meaning! http://www.microchip.com/stellent/...odeId=2551 If your college and/or teacher(s) are using "PIC" in this sense, then they really need to stop - they are misleading you! Even taking the words "programmable IC" at face value would suggest something more like a programmable logic chip than a microcontroller; eg, PAL, CPLD, FPGA, etc... meaning 8052 is a PIC with a 8052 arquitecture. No, I think very few people would recognise that terminology. Would it be a good advice to choose the arquitecture i have easy acess? Yes - easy access always counts very heavily "for" an architecture! |

| Very nice acronim,Ricardo | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| Literally, yes - in practice, no | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
