Hi everybody, I have interfaced a 4 GB class 4 Kingston micro SD card with MPC5554 using SPI. I have implemented FAT32 file system driver on it. Everything(reading/writing files) works fine when I keep SPI clock at 3 MHz after initialization. With 3 MHz clock I am able to write 1 MB of data in a file in 1 min which is pretty low speed!! But when I turn to SPI clock above 3 MHz, the SD card ...

I have an external device that's streaming synchronous data on 2 differential lines, clock and data, with RS422 electrical characteristics. The data is not framed/formatted, words 16 bit long are streamed out. Between words there is a pause, during which the clock is not ticking, of the same length as a word. The clock is at 2.5 MHz (but it doesn't tick between words), so on average I get 1.25 Mbs...

Hi All , I am implementing RTC code on an AVR Atmega2560 I have a 32Khz clock crystal to TSOSC1 which is used by timer2 in async mode. I have configured the clock divide to 8 so the clock to the timer is 32768/8 = 4096. It is a 8bit so a interrupt should be generated every 16hz (4096/256). So on 16 ticks make one second. If I add up second to make 5 minutes and light an LED on this eve...

Hi to all,thank you for dedicating me a bit of your time. I'm trying to modify a program that i "inherited", it was done for a similar project,where the c8051 acts as a I2C slave; reading the code i saw that in the I2C section done by the SMBus no mention is done to clock stretching. In this case and similar does it means that clock stretching is automatically managed by the SMBus ...

Hi, I'm trying to communicate with a smart card via iso7816 by emulating the T=0 protocol using a generic MCU's UART interface. One problem I'm having is providing a clock to the smart card(~3.5712MHz) w/o the use of a seperate crystal. Obviously using the GPIO pins would be too slow, and the UART channel doesn't have a SCLK out. It's also impossible to get a divisor for the MCU's clock si...

I need to put a real-time clock on a board. I haven't needed to know anything about the market for this for years, and I see that I'm way out of date. I just need basic clock functionality that I can read and set under software control, I don't need any bells or whistles, and I don't care much about the format. What I do care about is something that I can put on the board easily and...

I've been searching the Internet for a Windows based utility and I'm not finding it: Does anyone know of a utility that does clock throttling as a function of temperature? As a way of protecting the CPU we need a utility that will slow the system clock when the CPU gets too hot. We have a Pentium M, 855GME, ICH based Processor card with a General Software BIOS. We support SpeedSte...

I have a counter chip whose output is decoded. (The 4017 Johnson decade counter). As you clock it, the output pins go high in sequence. It has an asynchronous reset. What I want to do is the following: Loop: * Assert the reset to make sure it starts counting at zero * De-assert the reset * Clock it 8 times goto Loop; Now this would be a trivial exercise if I used two m...

I have a board set up with a PIC16F877 microcontroller and on the I2C bus I have a Phillips PCF8583 clock/alarm chip. I am attempting to use the alarm function of this chip and thus far am having almost no luck getting it to work. I know the I2C bus is good because I have several other devices on it plus the clock function of this chip is working fine. Specifically, no matter what type ...

The environment is an ATmega64 with a 32 KHz watch crystal running a real time clock on AVR timer0. The problem is with an occasional watch dog reset that happens every few days or longer is resetting the AVR processor and wiping out the current real time clock values. The long term fix it to find what is causing the watchdog resets, but saving the real time clock through a watchdog re...

I'd like to run from internal osc (XTAL pins as GPIO), but from the configuration bits it looks like it defaults to ext clk. I can't seem to find docs on their two speed startup and Fail-safe clock monitor thingy. Also, will LVP work?

Hi, Ive studied the Intel 8085 and the 8051 as part of my curriculum. Im curious to know why in both of these devices, the clock that is applied to the device is internally divided by 2? why is half to clock value not given instead? Thanx in anticipation regards Mayank

I am looking for a microcontroller with UART that will run at 1Mhz normally and 8Mhz when more power is available. My problem is the receive on the RS232 when changing the processor clock speed. I think this will cause an upset in any receive characters coming in at the change over. Has any body got any ideas for a low power processor (0.5mA at 1MHz) that can change processor clock speed with...

I have a question regarding the minimum clock rates allowed on LVDS- based LCD display panels. Perhaps someone in the group has some expertise here. I have HD data coming in at 30 frames per second. I have no place to store a full frame. The HD display panel requires a minimum clock rate of at least 50 MHz (which, according to the display data sheet, equates to about 50 frames per secon...

Hi, I've published (as PUBLIC DOMAIN) on alt.sources my code alllowing to receive and process the 24-bit/48kHz data from the I2S ADC (like CS5343) or left-justified I2S-like ADC (like CS5344). Of course only one channel is received! The code was tested on ATmega88 with 18.432MHz clock The clock to ADC was provided by the pin (PCINT0/CLKO/ICP1) PB0 (of course the clock output was enabled...

Does anyone know of an 8-bit microcontroller (among PICs, 8051s, MC68XX, Atmel) that has a built-in i2c module which does the following: ** As a i2c slave device, it's module automatically stretches the i2c clock (SCL) during both a WRITE and a READ by the master? (I currently am using PICs, and clock stretching does not automatically occur when the master does a WRITE. Thus I have a bit ...

Hi, I'm working on using Intel PXA255 to have simultaneous LCD panel & CRT display capability. How do we convert the digital LCD signals to the analog RGB for CRT display. Namely from the PXA255 LCD controller outputs are: L_FCLK : Frame clock L_BIAS : AC Bias / data enable L_LCLK : Line clock L_PCLK : Pixel clock L_DD[15:0] : pixel_data There are dedicated EPSON graphics co...
