You've been using them for quite a while if you
remember the 13-bit ones. :-)
IIRC, that was the PIC1670 (not PIC16C70!); perhaps there were some other
13-bitters. That was before I started with PICs, though I have the old data
books around here somewhere.
I was using them when they weren't even called PIC's, and were sold
by General Instruments...
