Hi!
I have a personal project and your mk160 could be just what I need. However, my project requires hardware which is operating below 0C degrees.
As I’ve learned from this forum is that the PIC 12C508 may have problems operating below 0C. Are there other parts which may have problems below 0C, too?
I’ve also learned that, if the custumer source an equivalent industrial part, you may program it. Please confirm if this is still valid and if the one below is the correct industrial equivalent for your PIC 12C508:
MICROCHIP - PIC12C508-04I/SM - 8BIT CMOS MCU, SMD, 12C508, SOIC8

If yes, please let me know the address and contact person to whom I should send it!
As I’ve said, this is a personal project, but if it proves reliable, than I would like to market it at a larger scale. In this respect, is the programing of the industrial equivalent part still valid and there is any posibility to cooperate directlly, w/o intermediaries?
Thank you for your support,
