Clock / PLL on 18F4550
PostPosted: Thu Jun 01, 2006 7:50 am     Reply with quote

OK, I'm quite confused here. I'm setting up a project with a 18F4550 and can't figure out why I'm gertting the wrong frequency (haven't even gotten to the USB portion yet).

Looking at fig 2-1 in the manual (clock diagram), I had decided on the following setup:

4Mhz crystal
XTPLL mode
PLL1 (no prescaler, 4Mhz input)
CPUDIV4 (to get 24Mhz from the 96Mhz PLL)

When I use the XT fuse and set the clock for 4Mhz, everything works as expected. When I attempt to use XTPLL and set the clock for 24Mhz I get longer durations than expected on the buzzer pin. I scoped it it looked like the clock was running slower than calculated. I changed the clock speed to 16Mhz and timing is correct (RS232 works also). So, somehow it's running at 16 instead of 24. I figure I'm doing somehting wrong, but I'm not sure what (haven't messed with PLL before).

The following code works, but the clock is set for 16 and I expected 24 to be the corect setting.

Code:


   #include <18F4550.h>
   #device adc=8
   #FUSES NOWDT                    //No Watch Dog Timer
   #FUSES WDT128                   //Watch Dog Timer uses 1:128 Postscale
//   #FUSES XT
   #FUSES XTPLL                    //Crystal/Resonator with PLL enabled
   #FUSES NOPROTECT                //Code not protected from reading
   #FUSES BROWNOUT_NOSL            //Brownout enabled during operation, disabled during SLEEP
   #FUSES BROWNOUT                 //Reset when brownout detected
   #FUSES BORV20                   //Brownout reset at 2.0V
   #FUSES PUT                       //Power Up Timer
   #FUSES NOCPD                    //No EE protection
   #FUSES STVREN                   //Stack full/underflow will cause reset
   #FUSES NODEBUG                  //No Debug mode for ICD
   #FUSES NOLVP                    //No low voltage prgming, B3(PIC16) or B5(PIC18) used for I/O
   #FUSES NOWRT                    //Program memory not write protected
   #FUSES NOWRTD                   //Data EEPROM not write protected
   #FUSES NOIESO                   //Internal External Switch Over mode disabled
   #FUSES NOFCMEN                  //Fail-safe clock monitor disabled
   #FUSES NOPBADEN                 //PORTB pins are configured as digital I/O on RESET
   #FUSES NOWRTC                   //configuration not registers write protected
   #FUSES NOWRTB                   //Boot block not write protected
   #FUSES NOEBTR                   //Memory not protected from table reads
   #FUSES NOEBTRB                  //Boot block not protected from table reads
   #FUSES NOCPB                    //No Boot Block code protection
   #FUSES NOMCLR                     //Master Clear pin enabled
   #FUSES LPT1OSC                  //Timer1 configured for low-power operation
   #FUSES NOXINST                  //Extended set extension and Indexed Addressing mode disabled (Legacy mode)
   #FUSES PLL1                     //No PLL PreScaler
   #FUSES CPUDIV4
   #FUSES USBDIV
   #use delay(clock=16000000)

#DEFINE BUZZER PIN_C2   

#use rs232(baud=9600, xmit=PIN_C6, rcv=PIN_C7)


void main(void) {
   unsigned int16 buzzy=0;
   delay_ms(100);
   printf("\r\n\npower on\n\r\n\r");
   for (buzzy=0;buzzy<10000;buzzy++)
      {
      output_high(BUZZER);
      delay_us(500);
      output_low(BUZZER);
      delay_us(500);
      }

   delay_ms(1000);
   printf("\r\n\ndone beeping\n\r\n\r");
   while(1);
      delay_cycles(1);
}




Thanks,

Avery

The more I dig the more confused I am. Here's what MPLAB says my fuses are, under CPU system clock postscaler:

[Osc1/Osc2 src: /4] [96Mhz PLL src: /6]

the 1/6 postscaler would jive with the 16Mhz clock, so I must be reading this completely wrong.

CPUDIV4 gives
[Osc1/Osc2 src: /4] [96Mhz PLL src: /6]

CPUDIV3 gives
[Osc1/Osc2 src: /3] [96Mhz PLL src: /4]

So there's some relation between these things I don't get. Can anyone tell me where I should have seen this in the data sheet? I had assumed that CPUDIV4 (which says system clock by 4 in fuses.txt) meant divide PLL by four, which must be wrong.

Sorry if I'm just talking to myself, going crazy here...

Figure 2.1 "Clock diagram" in the datasheet gives a good overview for how the clocks are done.

Yes, CPUDIV divides differently depending on if you're using the PLL or not. All shown in the diagram.

CCS only has 4 fuse settings, CPUDIV1-4. Therefore picking CPUDIV4 would probably selects configuration bits CPUDIV1 = 1 and CPUDIV0 = 1.

I'd then expect the fuse setting CPUDIV3 to select config bits CPUDIV1 =1 and CPUDIV0 = 0, which should give you what you want as you suspect already.

Yup, it looks like:

CPUDIV2 System Clock by 2

actually loads a value of 2 into the register... Not an actual divisor of 2. I feel stupid for spending so long on sucvh a simple problem. I was hung up on the description in fudses.tct where is says system clock by 2.

Thanks

Avery
