What is the cause of a "can not see clock" problem in logic analyser?

My LA is agilent 16702. When I use the 400MHz internal clock to sample the clock pin and the data pin with probes, I can see them nicely on the LA, and positive edge of the clock is right in the middle of the data. When I change to sampling data with my external clock pin, LA told me the clock is too weak and can not see a clock in the top-right banner. Of course, I don't see any data. W...

Hello, has anybody hard facts what the requirements for the ration between Jtag/SWD clock and MCU clock is. Main interest is for Cortex-M, but facts for other archs are welcome. Information floating aound in the net tells abound a factor of 6, but some people tell about successfull SWD communication even with a MCU clock much slower than the SWD clock.

Hi all: I have been stuck on this problem for a while - can someone help me figure this out? For the following instruction, the instruction set manual says it should take 5 clock cycles, whereas according to my measurements using an oscilloscope, I should get 4 clock cycles.

I'm trying to figure out if I can run the dsPIC33 at the maximum 40MIPS and use the PWM output to clock an external ADC without introducing the phase noise(into the ADC) associated with the internal clock PLL. Is there a way to have the dsPIC processor use the clock PLL but have the PWM circuitry directly referenced to the external clock? Thomas

I have an odd little problem, I'm hoping one of you could shed some light on it before I spend hours tracking it down. I'm working on a board with a PIC18F8722. We're setting it up to work in external clock mode with a 40MHz clock. This clock is, in turn, sourced by an integrated oscillator module from ECS (ECS-8FM). The problem that we're seeing is that sometimes the thing comes up ...

comp.arch.embedded atmega48 adc at faster than best clock speeds Atmel's atmega48 manual states the adc clock should run between 100 kcs & 200 kcs for best, most accurate conversions.

Has anyone checked the accuracy of these converters when used with ...

Followup to the message I posted the other week about Nokia 2260 LCDs for my Babylonian clock... the electronics are now working. The clock starts at 10:12:10 and ends at 10:13:08 in this video; you get to see most of the digits. It was slightly tricky to fit the 59 digits (at 32 x 22 pixels) into the 2K MSP430; I wound up making a set of sub-

How can I synchronize those ...
