    Default What competitors chips do!

    Look and hear this un-believable microcontroller from AVR @ 20MHz:

    Is it the chip or the coder?
    I do not think I could do that no matter what chip I had.

    Is there really a big difference between the chips?

    An Atmel chip running @ 20Mhz, is like a PIC with an 80Mhz OSC.

    They don't divide FOSC/4.

    Darrel,
    Could you do it with an 8 bit PIC?

    Oh sure ....
    But I'm a little busy right now trying to get Windows running on a 16F877A.

    The PIC would have to be running @ 160Mhz to get the same video response.
    Or perhaps 4 40MHz PICs in parallel with some logic to sequence their output.

    What is the fastest PIC PBP 2.6 will support?

    Some innovative logic indeed.

    64Mhz
    As far as I am aware.

    Or load some fast SRAM from an SD card and clock it out to the monitor for a single instance.
    A 2nd SRAM slowly loads while the first displays.

    The fact is that this chip is doing all the jobs (sound 4 channels, white noise plus video plus motion) with no extra chips, logic or FPGA. And at 20MHz.

    Now I am very jellous...

    The 8 bit PIC's are slower than AVR however the 16-bit PICs will better AVR
    running up to 40 MIPS with 16 bit (instructions?).
