I have to make a project involving ethernet, so i'll use a enc28j60 and i need a microcontroller for the rest. what uC has this features?
- it would be very nice to have pps, peripheral pin selection (like PIC24F)
- DIP would be nice, not smd (i don't know if pic24f has this, only TQFB, or at least that says in proteus)
- to have support in proteus (it would be perfect to have dip version in ARES, not only ISIS) and MikroC
- to be programable with icd2, as i don't have something else
- 5V would be nice, pic24f has 3.3V, a minus
- to be cheap, it isn't an unlimited buget
so, pic24f would be nice, but it has some disadvantages (proteus model, 3.3V, etc)

Try 18F series pics...

Re: what microcontroller shoul i use?

Please note that ENC28J60 is a 3.3V device (although the inputs are 5V tolerant).
It's possible to interface it to a 5V MCU (s. datasheet figure 2-4), but I think it's easier using a 3.3V MCU.

PIC18F452, I think there is TCP/IP stack developed by microchip for it, 5v supply and can be programmed using ICD2.

yes, but if i use a uC with 5V i can integrate buffers now ( enc <-> uC) as I know that there is only 1 needed. but what's beyond the uC, i don't know yet; for now there are 1 or 2 motor drivers (L298) but i can add much more, and i thought with 5V it would be easier. but if there is a cheap and popular buffer with many in and out ports, please let me know
