2 * 16bit internal counters PIC chip recommendation

[Joe King]

Hi,

I am currently programmig a 16C74 PIC chip with 2 internal counters ie one
16 bit and one 8 bit counter. Can anyone recommend an equivalent PIC chip
with two 16 bit internal counters.

Thanks.

I believe you'd have to step up to the PIC18 series. Timer0 can be
configured for 16-bit mode, plus there's an additional 16-bit Timer3
that functions almost identically to Timer1.
