Internal OSC vs Extenal

[DdtWks]

Hi ! I was wondering if some of you simply ditch the external resonator for the internal clock. On the newer PIC are they more reliable/useful ?

Thank you !

Yes, whenever possible - which is most of the time. YMMV.

I used to use crystals, preferably 20-40MHz way back when (10-15 years).

But today, internals at max speed all the time.

Unless you need the utmost critical timing.

For any other application, even USART at 115Kbps, internal HS Osc works just fine.

Thank you all !
I will be using the internal clock for now on. But keeping the external in the design, just in case.
