16f84a won't resonate - davidgarciajr - May 30 22:33:00 2004

I am trying to test a 16f84a following

http://www.voti.nl/blink/

I tried with a 4.7 k & 22 pf and also with 20 mhz kds & 2 22 pf and
it won't resonate unless I bump the circuit. It's not loose
connections and using the same circuit sans the external resonator
with a 16f628 using an internal rc works fine. Tried several 16f84a.
Could I have defective 16f84a pics? I am using ICPROG/JDM clone to
program both the 16f628 & 16f84a.

Works if bumped

GND -- VSS 5 |------| 17 RA0 -- 330 -- LED -- VSS
| |
| | 16--|-- 22pf -- VSS
|16f84a| XTAL (20 mhz)
| | 15--|-- 22pf -- VSS
| |
|------| 14 VDD -- 5V

Works if bumped

GND -- VSS 5 |------| 17 RA0 -- 330 -- LED -- VSS
| | 22pf -- VSS
|16f84a| 15 RC --|
| | 4.7k -- VDD
|------| 14 VDD -- 5V

WORKS

GND -- VSS 5 |------| 17 RA0 -- 330 -- LED -- VSS
| |
|16f628|
|------| 14 VDD -- 5V

Have you enabled the XT oscillator (HS for 20 MHz) when programming the
chip? I also use IC-Prog/JDM and it's quite easy to forget it.

Yes, HS is enabled in ICPROG. Weird thing is if I do a reset from VCC
to MLCR for a second, it will work for a bit and then stop.

I ended up connecting vdd and mclr with a 10k resistor after reading
the data sheet. It now resonates, blinks on power up and stays
blinking. Looks like something to do with the power up, power on
reset and waiting to see if the oscillator has stabilized. Is this
correct?

MCLR should be pulled up, as you have done. With the '628 you may enable
PWRT, allowing MCLR to be used for I/O.

Thanks, Vasile. I update them when I done something I think people might
find useful.

Regards,

Leon
