'[PIC]: Overclocking'
2001\01\16@000359 by Jeethu Rao

Hi there guys, I am working on an implementation of the TEA Encryption algorithm for PIC. But, I read somewhere on the maximum speed possible on mid-range family PIC running @ 20 Mhz is just 6k/s. Now, can I overclock a 16f877 or 16f84A to say about 50 Mhz ? Will it just draw more power or will it have some more serious implications ? I'll bet atleast someone might have tried this.

I've try something at 36MHz but it don't work ( I have a LCD connected to pic and maybe I've miss something...)

Please check the archives about overclocking (http://www.piclist.com ). The gist of it is that some people (anecdotal evidence) have clocked 20MHz parts to 36MHz or more, but I've not heard one going that high. I suspect that the pic cannot use a 50MHz crystal (due to drive circuitry limitations) in any case, and a 50MHz oscillator would have to be used, f it worked at all. If you need speed, look at the 18C devices, and look at the scenix devices. The 18C is 4 times faster, but can only be run at 10MHZ or lower, the scenix (sorry, ubicom now...) goes to 50MHz and 100MHz parts are coming Real Soon Now(TM). By my calculations the 18C should be able to double your data rate (12k/s), and the scenix should be able to quintuple your data rate (30k/s). In short, I would overclock the pic, I would use the right tool for the right job. There are few things more painful to debug than an intentionally bad design. -Adam Jeethu Rao wrote: {Quote hidden}> > Hi there guys, > > I am working on an implementation of the TEA Encryption algorithm for PIC.

Hi, OVERCLOCKING was developed for Pentium processors, they dont have any problem with that. Except that they usually die much earlier than expected. Germain Morbe -- http://www.piclist.com hint: To leave the PICList RemoveMEpiclist-unsubscribe-requestspam_OUTKILLspammitvma.mit.edu

Actually, overclocking has been around a _lot_ longer than thePentium. And it has _never_ been a good idea, except for certain limited conditions where reduced reliability (flakiness) can be tolerated because of the higher speed.

I overclocked a 4MHz m*t*r*la processor to 16MHz "just to see". Then I "confidently" ran it at 8MHz for hours. I stressed it by warming it up, cooling it off, making faces at it. I installed it in my application and ran it for months. Then it started acting flaky. It was only for a personal application, so I accepted the odd behavior. But I won't do it again. Just not worth operating out of spec. Anybody else overclock their own pacemaker?

Well, I had overclocked 386's and 486's way back when, and new poeple who overclocked older parts... > Except that they usually die much earlier than expected. Which may not be a problem in the PC arena, where the technology changes rapidly and you plan on upgrading the CPU's every 6 months (or shorter if you really screw it up ;-) )... but I would not build a circuit overclocking a chip if I expected it to work over the long haul... I suppose it could depend on the project requirements and life expectancy...

Excuse me mention the -Pentium- as an acronym for personal computer CPUs and even for the early 8 bitters. Now i realized that a whole bunch of Piclist members have some era of computer experience like me. Maybe even more for some. Overclocking in fact has a long tradition, because there where allways guys searching to get more out of their hardware as they have paid for.While this is absolutely OK for personal use at ones own risk, i would strongly suggest not to take such ideas into account in development of commercial products. As i felt most piclist members to be professionals, i say there is no need for overclocking as there is allways a chip offering the required performance. It simply has its price mostly.

>Indeed.. Asymmetrical clocking too. I think that the asymmetrical beast was the 8080. The Z80 required a *very* clean 50.000% duty cycle rail to rail drive and used to get hotter than some Pentiums get now ;-) Peter -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The PICList is archived three different ways.
