microcontroller - Most RAM for an MCU in a DIP package



So far the most RAM laden MCU I have found in a hobbyist friendly DIP package is a dsPIC33FJ128GP802, which has 16KB, and the Parallax Propeller, which has 32KB. But does anyone know of chips with more memory in said packages? This is only for prototyping, I also need surface mount chips for production.



Answer



If you only need the DIP format for prototyping, use some adapter boards and prototype with those. With a steady hand you should be able to solder SOIC and TQFP parts.



This kind of thing:

arduino - Can I use TI's cc2541 BLE as micro controller to perform operations/ processing instead of ATmega328P AU to save cost?

I am using arduino pro mini (which contains Atmega328p AU ) along with cc2541(HM-10) to process and transfer data over BLE to smartphone. I...
