PIC18F4620 slow clock problem
PostPosted: Wed Jan 24, 2018 6:24 am     Reply with quote

In my project the PIC18F4620, with 10MHZ crystal result in 312KHz in
while loop. Should not it be: 10MHz crystal div/4 (in the PIC internal divider)= 2.5Mhz?

CCS PCH C Compiler, Version 5.015, xxxx

I did a test code to show the problem:

Code:

#include <18F4620.h>
#device ADC=16

#FUSES NOWDT                    //No Watch Dog Timer
#FUSES NOBROWNOUT               //No brownout reset
#FUSES NOLVP                   
#FUSES NOXINST               
#FUSES NOFCMEN
#FUSES NOIESO
#FUSES HS


#use delay(crystal=10000000)


void main()
{

   while(true)
   {
      output_toggle(PIN_D5);
   }

}


The LST file:

Would be an oscillator configuration problem?

what caps are you using for the xtal?
does another xtal work
can you scope the xtal pin to confirm it's oscillating ?

does the PIC run on internal ?

I'm using 15 pF caps
I used 10Mhz resonator too and the result is the same
I tested the xtal pin in the scope and it run at 10Mhz (very stable)

with these settings, it should be external clock, but really, the resulting frequency seems to be of the internal oscillator.

10MHz crystal
/4 for internal instruction
/4 for number of instructions in loop
/2 for complete cycle (one loop high & one loop low)

10M /4 /4 /2 = 312.5k

In a word, no. While there is only one C statement in the loop, there is more than one instruction: two to do the output and one (braches are two cycle instructions I beleive) to do the loop. I'd expect the output to be 10MHz/4/4 (instructions)/2 (as the loop toggles and one cycle of the output is two loops) = 312.5KHz, which is what you report. Therefore it's working perfectly. Granted its not working as you expect, but it is working as is should.

No, actually its an unrealistic expectation problem.

Hmmm, it's true! Thank you very much for the quick response.
