Mike,

Thanks, you didn't remind me, I just didn't know at all! Sorry about the
earlier email, I thought you meant the chip wouldn't run before unplugging
the debugger. :-)

Why do you have to power cycle it (just out of interest)? Doesn't this cause
problems when using ICSP on production boards? The timing will be all to
cock until you power cycle it. It could cause it to crash.

I have measured that an 18F8720 running in HS mode with a 20MHz xtal uses
10.25mA, and in HS + PLL mode with a 5MHz xtal uses 10.05mA, not as much
difference as I was hoping :-( But will be better for EMC.

Thanks

Graham

By reminding him that the PLL in not enabled immediately after programming
the configuration word, and that the power to the PIC must be cycled to
enable it.
