Microchip's product pages bugged?

Hi,

For the past week it seems impossible to open any of the MC's product pages - for example trying to open the PIC18F14K50's page redirects you to the main page.

Anyone else having the same problem?

Cheers

Dompie

Yes here the same:
An error occurred while processing your request.
Reference #30.8f633e17.1634057156.4378a80

I'm afraid that MC has a lot of pointless changes in store again

I am having the same problem in Arizona.

I gave up on the Microchip site quite a while back.

It is slow, bloated, and rather pointless for engineers! It is a site that has "bling", but nothing else. :-)

I usually end up accessing the Microchip site via a search engine. Much easier than trying to search from in the site itself :)

Thank you all for the confirmation.

I think Dompie might be right, looks like a new site update is coming.

Hang on, this looks actually useful: https://www.microchip.com/doclisting/TechDoc.aspx?type=datasheet

Hi,
Never had an issue, all I do is put the device into Mr Google and select or add datasheet if it does not come up. From there I just go for the Microchip site offering.

I was thinking, GDeSantis could go round there and knock on their door or has it moved from when I knew it as Arizona Microchip :-)

Now I am looking for a 40-pin DIP PIC with more than 2 UARTs.
Previously you had such a nice overview on the Microchip site where all options could be selected.  :)
Then you selected, for example: 18F + 5Vdc + 40-pins, and all types that met this were filtered out.

I can't find this page either, does anyone know if it's still there somewhere?  ???
Or does anyone know how to find a 40 pin PIC with more than 2 UARTS?

Hmmm, found something on the Microchip site: MAPS (Microchip Advanced Part Selector)  ;)

Started with the link from this topic:

Then:

Yes Frizie, this page this page is very handy.

Microchip like to keep you you on your toes, randomly changing stuff for no apparent reason.

FWIW I use MAPS, its slow and not easy too use but it does have the ability to filter on pretty much everything. I don't know parametric search, maybe it's better. Microchip really should stop writing PC code, they really suck at it.
