PIC10F322 XC8 Code – how to get a clock reference output on Port.A2
Reference Clock Output allows you to, basically turn the Port.A2 pin into a clock out device that you can use to drive other devices that require a clock input (think Z80 Clock input).
What is nice you can program different clock frequencies .
The output is based on the system clock (internal oscillator) divided by 4.
The internal OSC can be set to the following frequencies.
16 MHz
8 MHz (default power on value)
4 MHz
2 MHz
1 MHz
500 kHz
250 kHz
31 kHz (LFINTOSC)
Take those, divide by 4 and you get the reference output.
Below is a screen shot from the reference showing the wave form on Port.A2 running at 16Mhz – thus a 4Mhz output.
