I've got a design that will use a 16F877 and a 16F676, on the same PCB.  =
In the interest of saving space (& component count), I'm wondering if I =
can reliably drive both OSCIN's with the same XTAL?  I know the =
datasheet says I can use an "external" clock if the device is in "XT" =
config, but obviously I don't want to use the OSCOUT of one device to =
drive the other since it's 1/4 the Frequency.  If anyone's done this, =
what is your approach to determining the necessary cap values?  Table =
12-2 of the PIC16F87X datasheet gives values that I've used in a =
single-device context, but with the extra loading presented by a 2nd =
device, I don't know what behavior to expect.  If there's a valid reason =
*not* to take this approach, I can obviously avoid it, but any words of =
wisdom are appreciated!
Thanks!
Jim
