CAn't get PLL to work on 18LF4620

[BrianT]

I cannot get the PLL to turn on. I can set the INTRC oscillator to 4 MHz or 8 MHz but I cannot get the 4x PLL to activate. I have scoured the forum but found nothing directly relevant.
MCS+ 3.0.0.5 PBP 2.60L MPASM v5.37

I want to get an internal RC clock of 16 or 32MHz so then I can push the DEBUG speed up.

   OSCTUNE.6 = 1              ' PLL ON

Any help gratefully received.

I dunno OSCTUNE, but modifying the .INC file usually work for me

You have 2 choices for PPL, but I think if you use 4mhz it would be "normal" speed.

here is my config for a 18F2550, using 20Mhz xtal, so this has to be high speed mode(HS)

; __CONFIG _CONFIG1L, _PLLDIV_2_1L & _CPUDIV_OSC1_PLL2_1L & _USBDIV_2_1L
; __CONFIG _CONFIG1H, _FOSC_HSPLL_HS_1H

Give this a shot

@ __CONFIG    _CONFIG1H, _OSC_INTIO67_1H & _FCMEN_OFF_1H & _IESO_OFF_1H
@ __CONFIG    _CONFIG2H, _WDT_ON_2H & _WDTPS_512_2H
@ __CONFIG    _CONFIG3H, _CCP2MX_PORTC_3H & _PBADEN_OFF_3H & _LPT1OSC_OFF_3H & _MCLRE_ON_3H
@ __CONFIG    _CONFIG4L,  _STVREN_ON_4L & _LVP_OFF_4L & _XINST_OFF_4L

DEFINE OSC 32

OSCCON = %01110000
OSCTUNE = %01000000

Thanks Dave,
I pasted your lines of code into my program but now I get a slew of
"ERROR Overwriting previous address contents" messages. Not sure how to handle this.

Cheers

When setting the configs in code space you need to modify the *.inc file for the chip in the PBP directory. Comment out the configs there. Or just modify the *.inc with the new configs.

Thanks Dave but changing the .inc file is more pain than gain.

This little project has three 18F4620. One uses IntIO2 at 4 MHz which is where I want to activate the PLL, another uses HS with a crystal at 20 MHz and the third uses XT with a crystal at 4 MHz. It is easier to just change the Config fuses on the MeLabs USB serial programmer.

Thanks Dave but changing the .inc file is more pain than gain.

That is why I comment the *.inc and set the fuses in code space.

But did you get it working like you want?
