Using the PLL Prescaler in the 18F97J60
PostPosted: Sat Dec 12, 2009 12:54 pm     Reply with quote

PIC- 18F97J60
Compiler- 4.085

I am trying to use the PLL pre-scaler to scale the 25 MHz xtal to a 12.5 MHz system clock.

I followed the syntax defined in the CCS manual:

Quote:
//application is using a 10Mhz oscillator, but using the 4x PLL
//to upscale it to 40Mhz. Compiler will set H4 config bit.
#use delay(clock=40M, oscillator=10M)


Here is my test program:

Code:
#include <18F97J60.h>
#device PASS_STRINGS = IN_RAM

#fuses HS,NOWDT,PROTECT,NOFCMEN
#use delay(clock=12500000, oscillator=25M)

//Debug         
//#use rs232(BAUD=9600, XMIT=PIN_D3, BITS=8, PARITY=N)

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//Functions//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

void setup_io() {
   set_tris_a(0xFF);
   set_tris_b(0xFF);
   set_tris_c(0xFF);
   set_tris_d(0xFF);
   set_tris_e(0xFF);
   set_tris_f(0xFF);
   set_tris_g(0xFF);
   set_tris_h(0xFF);
   set_tris_j(0xFF);

   output_high(PIN_D7);      //ss eeprom
   output_high(PIN_J6);      //relay cs
}

void main(void) {
   disable_interrupts(GLOBAL);
   setup_io();

   while(1) {
      output_toggle(PIN_D3);
      delay_ms(1000);
   }
}


When I scoped the waveform on D3, I saw a 500 ms delay between toggles. Furthermore, when I print serial data, it comes out at 19200 (2x the baud rate I declare). So the compiler thinks that I am compiling a program for a PIC with a 12.5 MHz crystal, and is actually running 2x too fast. I read the OSCTUNE=0x00, so I know the PLL and post-scaler are both disabled. There is no HSPLL fuse for my version of the compiler, so I used the HS fuse.

My question is: How do I use the delay statement to tell the compiler that I want to use the divide-by-2 prescaler and/or postscaler to divide the xtal clk by 2 (or 4)?

Thanks for your help.

I have:

Code:
#use delay(clock=41666700)
#fuses H4_SW



And eventually in main(),

Code:
setup_oscillator(OSC_PLL_5_DIV_3);


This sets me up for the 25x5 = 125MHz /4 = 41.66MHz / 4 = Fcy or 10.416MHz

Do you need 12.5 /4?

I don't think you can get that with the combination of /2 or /3 with a 25MHz XTAL.


See DS39762D.pdf - page 44 and you'll see what I mean.

I'm going to double check though.

No. You can't do that.

The aforementioned table in the PDF is on the money even though the text might be interpreted that one might be able to use the postscaler without the prescaler. You can't.

That did the trick

Thanks for responding.

I read the text and missed the table. Good call on that.

I don't need 12.5/4 MHz. I just want to reduce power consumption in the PIC, and I don't need to run at 25 MHz.

I followed your example and used the x5 PLL with the /3 prescaler and postscaler to reduce the system clock to 13.89 MHz.

This reduced the current draw by 4 mA.
