A Albert Smit New Member May 15, 2008 #1 My pic doesn't want to run from 3V. It works fine with 5V. Can anyone tell me what's the problem?
picasm Member May 15, 2008 #2 You need the LF version to work on 3V and even then it may require a higher voltage when using a higher clock frequency. Check the data sheet for the PIC chip that you are using, it shows graphs and tables of it's power requirements.

Most non-LF PICs are specified to run at 2 volts at the frequencies achievable by their internal oscillators. Mike
