Hi there,
I'm asking for some guidance on how to use the MAPS or the Parametric Search Tool from MICROCHIP.
My project consists of driving a 8x8 LED matrix. So, to make it a little more "easy" for me to program, I'd like to find an MCU that has at least two in-a-raw (from 0 to 7) 8bits Outgoing PORTs (i.e. PORTA.0...PORTA.7 and PORTB.0...PORTB.7).
As I'm short in space, I can not just pick-up a 40 pins MCU and voilà.
I do have some MCUs in my drawer but, unfortunately, most of them have at least one of the PORT working only as an Input (mostly PORTA.5).
Currently, I have to read every and single datasheet to find out what I'm looking for.
But is there a better and faster way to do so?
