18LF2520 Crystal

Hi,
Looking at the Data sheet for 18LF2520 PIC, it shows the highest speed crystal as 25MHz. I only have 32MHz, will they work ok?

I don't think so.... The max speed of this is 40Mhz but 10Mhz (4x) PLL.. So 32Mhz should only be an 8 Mhz crystal with the PLL..

I don't think a 32Mhz crystal would stabilize.... This is just in my opinion...

Hi R,
Ok, that's a shame. Anyone want 20x32MHz crystals?

Hi,
On re-reading the Data sheet, I think the PIC will work without a crystal.

I've tried setting OSCCON and PLL, but 18LF2520 does appear to be running correctly. Can anyone supple the OSCCON and PLL settings for 8MHz and X4 please.

You need to set OSCCON to 0x70 ( 8Mhz) and set the PLL bit in the config register.. I think there is a software bit aswell.

So config FOSC= INTIO2 and PLLEN = 1

Then OSCON = 0x70
Then OSCTUNE bit 6 needs to be 1.

Hi I,
I think I've got it set correctly, but it's too fast.

Can you try it in the simulator please. The SIM is a bit faster than the PCB, but still shows too fast.

There is no INTIO1 and 2 option. I used this:

Thanks, C.

What is too fast?
Waitus 1000?
Define clock_frequency 8 -> change to 32

Hi I,
Changed to 32, that did it I wondered about that.
Thanks, C.
