Hi,
I am getting a bit confused about creating clock frequencies for a PIC chip (PIC16F72 to be precise).
Looking at the datasheet for the chip I see it has an internal clock, but then some of the schematics seem to have external capacitors etc which I assume is to get the 20Mhz frequency required.
Do I need to create an external 20Mhz freq for the chip? If so how?
If I needed one I thought I would have to use a 555 timer chip - is this not necessary?
Or are these questions dependant on the use of the chip?
Thanks,
Craig
