please can you help me!! can i use pic18f4520 instead of pic18f452? and what are the differences between these two pics??
March 30th, 2013 at 7:07 pm
Hello.
18F452 is an older architecture. 18F4520 is an updated version of 18F452, all of the older features and some new ones.
18F4520 can replace 18F452, definitely.
