Ok, I got it wrong at the first sight. It means that a 20MHz clock osc PIC can count up to 11Mps without the use of prescaler, with single pulse counting, or 195kps pulse counting with the prescaler (50MHz/256), but losing 8 bits resolution. The tip to multiplex the input and then use another PIC pin to put pulses to the prescaler until it overflows gets back the lower 8 bits. Thanks for you all. -------------------------------------------------------- Wagner Lipnharski - UST Research Inc. - Orlando, Florida Forum and microcontroller web site: http:/www.ustr.net Microcontrollers Survey: http://www.ustr.net/tellme.htm
