Mike,

I would start by watching "Introduction to the PIC18 High Pin-Count and High Density family of devices" at http://techtrain.microchip.com/webse...CListArch.aspx.

It gives a fairly good overview as to what the Microship part number means and a good introduction to the various chips in the PIC18 family. You will find that other families like the PIC16 will make more sense as well...

Regards,

Mike
