An alternative to tempco would be to get ppm/C figures for relevant components and the expected temperature variations for the clock usage time. Factor that in and compute for the average -- http://www.piclist.com hint: PICList Posts must start with ONE topic: [PIC]:,[SX]:,[AVR]: ->uP ONLY! [EE]:,[OT]: ->Other [BUY]:,[AD]: ->Ads
