PIC2620/4620 and 2520 datasheets wrong?

[Boomslang]

Hi All

In OCSTUNE TUN4:TUN0. That is 5 bits, but in the datasheet it shows 6 bits??? It also shows the 6th bit as unimplemented? I dont have a scope to test if it does in fact use 6 bits to change the OSC speed.

Can anyone of you shed some light on it please?

When in doubt check the device file,

sfr (key=OSCTUNE addr=0xf9b size=1 access='rw rw u rw rw rw rw rw')
reset (por='00-00000' mclr='0--00000')
bit (names='HF256DIV PLLEN - TUN' width='1 1 1 5')
stimulus (scl=rwb pcfiles=rw regfiles=w)

So, it's 5 bits in total.

You'll find the dev file in C:\Program Files\Microchip\MPLAB IDE\Device

Thanks for that, did not know you could check there. That only gives me 16 speed steps each way... not as good as I hoped.

Do you know by what percentage it changes the the OSC speed?

BTW, if you're trying to use the PLL with the internal oscillator you must set OSCCON to 0x60 or 0x70. Setting it to 0x62 or 0x72 stops the PLL from functioning. This is not mentioned in the DS anywhere and had me pulling my hair out.

So you cant tune the speed while using PPL? That would suck.
Thanks,

How are you going to adjust your clock? How will you know if it's running slow or fast? Most applications are happy with the 1% accuracy or use a crystal.

You can tune the clock, you just can't select the internal oscillator in OSCCON (not OSCTUN). You have to select primary oscillator and select internal in the config.

I am building a chronograph, so the adjustment will be once off when calibrating it. I need around +-5% adjustment.

BTW I have it running at 8MHz X 4xPPL = 32MHz. I know that part is working as I used some code from one of my old projects.

 

[Boomslang]

Sorry, I see you are talking about OSCCON... that one had me going for a while before I figured it out.

The internal oscillator will vary with temperature, Vdd and the colour of the sky. If you're making a chronograph I would add a 32kHz crystal as the timer 1 oscillator. You then have a very accurate timer 1 and up to 32MHz internal frequency.

Edit, change that to a 38k crystal if you want a 100Hz or 1kHz interrupt.
