DEVICE OVERVIEW
This document contains device specific information for the following four devices:
1\. PIC18C242
2\. PIC18C252
3\. PIC18C442
4\. PIC18C452
These devices come in 28-pin and 40-pin packages. The 28-pin devices do not have a Parallel Slave Port (PSP) implemented and the number of Analog-to Digital (A/D) converter input channels is reduced to 5. An overview of features is shown in Table 1-1.
The following two figures are device block diagrams sorted by pin count: 28-pin for Figure 1-1 and 40-pin for Figure 1-2. The 28-pin and 40-pin pinouts are listed in Table 1-2 and Table 1-3, respectively.
