I tried searching the archives for this one, but every listing concentrated around a 32.768kHz oscillator source. Anyways, my PIC application will require an accurate 1 second internal counter for timing, but does require a system clock speed of 4-20Mhz. I was planning on using a PIC16C66 microcontroller which allows the use of a second oscillator at RC0 and RC1 set at 32.768kHz, but I am looking towards possibly using a small PIC device that doesn't have this feature. Any thoughts on how to utilize a second counter using the 4+MHz system clock??? Thanks Dan -- http://www.piclist.com hint: To leave the PICList mailto:piclist-unsubscribe-request@mitvma.mit.edu
