Using 16f57 for ultra low cost, I can't get the external rc oscillator to w= ork at all. I can inject clock and CLK2 outputs CLK1/4, but connecting a pullup between 2k2 and 10k to CLK1 simply pulls it high and nothing interesting ev= er happens. There is no table for RC selection in the datasheet of the 16f57. = I could find nothing relevant in the microchip.com search engine. Can someone please point me to a table or other data set which clarifies the rc compone= nt limits for modern 16f57s? And other pics? My current option seems to be trial and error. C is 47pF ceramic for now. F should be about 1MHz with 10k and 47pF, no? I mean, from plain RC circuit t= heory. thanks, Peter --=20 http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
