Jay,

I think a 12-bit converter IN a micro is questionable, as achieving that resolution along with sufficient accuracy with the digital noise may be difficult, if not impossible. Do you think that the scenario I mentioned with the micro sleeping while converting would make an internal 12-bit converter viable.

I am not planning on using one of these 12-bit micros, so don't think that I am soliciting professional advice, I am just curious what you think.

You made your previous message sound slightly like the failure of your competitors product was the fault of the PIC. I personaly don't use internal ADCs for instrumentation purposes. I think that their decision to use the internal low resolution converter rather than an external high resolution converter was the problem.
