Leandro,

Where are you from?

I successfully tried the PIC 16F84-4 at 10Mhz. As far as I know, you can use
it up to 15 or 16Mhz, depending on the chip. But I won't recommend on doing
it. For testing or home projects, 8, 10 or 12Mhz is Ok. For production, I'm
afraid that you'll have to import "-10" parts....

Subject: 16F84-4 at 10 Mhz CLK is it possible?


Hi!
I was designing an application that requires 10 mhz with a 16F84, but here,
in my country only can find the 16F84-4 that I believe it runs only at 4
MHZ (max) , is possible to run the 16F84-4 at 10 Mhz?, or using it with an
external oscilator?.
I was using the 16F84-4 in the past at 6 Mhz clock (HS setting) without
problem, but 10 Mhz may be too much.

any idea?, 10 Mhz version of 16F84 is unreacheable here...

thanks!
PS:sorry for the bad spelling.
