    Default Resonator Suppliers for 40 MHz?

    I am trying to find a place where I can order a few resonators at 40 MHz. I would prefer a 3-pin throughole style. I can find manufactures and datasheets, but I can't find the parts at any source that will supply in low quanitities (Mouser, Newark, Digikey, etc.).

    A couple questions...

    I have a 20 MHz resonator already, is there a way to "divide" that signal to provide my 40 MHz clock?

    How would I use a crystal in place of my resonator - is there more hardware involved? They only have two pins, so what happens to the third?

    Anyone have a source for 3-pin 40 MHz ceramic resonators?

    TIA!

    Since you mentioned 40MHz, I assume that you are intending to use the resonator with a PIC18. With PIC18s, you can use 40MHz only in EC mode (external oscillator - not crystal or resonator). However, by using a 10MHz resonator (or crystal) in HS mode you can achieve a 40MHz clock by using the 4x PLL. In which case, one these will work:

    Note: the "K" series will support up to 64MHz clock (and the PIC18s with USB, 48Mhz).

    The SMT resonators aren't THAT small. You could always solder wires on to one and *pretend* it's through hole...

    Digikey has 40mhz in stock in SMT package...

    Thanks for that input, it is indeed for a PIC18. Is the 4x PLL a setting in the chip itself?

    It is a config word setting. Here is an example:
    2.1 Oscillator Types

    PIC18F2525/2620/4525/4620 devices can be operated
    in ten different oscillator modes. The user can program
    the Configuration bits, FOSC3:FOSC0, in Configuration
    Register 1H
    to select one of these ten modes:
    1. LP Low-Power Crystal
    2. XT Crystal/Resonator
    3. HS High-Speed Crystal/Resonator
    4. HSPLL High-Speed Crystal/Resonator
    with PLL Enabled

    5. RC External Resistor/Capacitor with
    FOSC/4 Output on RA6
    6. RCIO External Resistor/Capacitor with I/O
    on RA6
    7. INTIO1 Internal Oscillator with FOSC/4 Output
    on RA6 and I/O on RA7
    8. INTIO2 Internal Oscillator with I/O on RA6
    and RA7
    9. EC External Clock with FOSC/4 Output
    10. ECIO External Clock with I/O on RA6

    Thanks!

    Looking up the 18F4420...

    Yup, good to go! Thanks again.
