Problem with 16F877A but not with 16F876A
I have use the 16f876a for a frequency meter (base on AN592), and works fine.
Yesterday i test the same programm with 16f877a but not work and i don't why.
My configuration is:
' PIC16F877A
' Xtal 4MHZ
CMCON = 7 ' PortA = digital I/O
ADCON0 = %11100001
ADCON1 = %10000000
TRISA = %11111111
The same configuration work with 16F876A.

Hi, Savnik
did you verify the quiescent state collector voltage meets PIC input specs ???
I feel the problem in the Trans. hfe and not in the Pic ....

Why insist on using 32 Bits when you're not even able to deal with the first 8 ones ??? ehhhhhh ...

IF there is the word "Problem" in your question ...
certainly the answer is " RTFM " or " RTFDataSheet " !!!

I use BF199 and not 2N3904(as show at picture).Originally Posted by Acetronics
The same circuit work on 16f876a.
I believe the problem is with the configurations
|
BF 199 has a "special" pinout ( b-e-c )... not the same as 2N3904 ... if my souvenirs are good ...
and hfe is far lower than the 3904 ... ( I've just measured ~ 50 @ 2.5 ma on some of mines )
the Only differences between 876 and 877 is the Port number ... as you do not use PORTD and PORTE ( I hope ...) , you can directly program the 877 with the 876 Hex !!!

The bf199 work with 16f876a.
I have spent many hours with no result.

I'm surprised it works with a 16F876a looking at the current ADCONx settings...

It's not a bug, it's a random feature.
There's no problem, only learning opportunities.

Why;
Where i am wrong with ADCONX
|
Because you've got digital signals going into a port configured for analog input...
|
with 16f876a i use ra0-ra1-ra2-ra5 as analog and ra3-ra4 as digital , and with those configurations work very well.But with 16f877a not.
|
Well, you didn't tell us that now did you?

Refer to ADCON1 register table
http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/e...Doc/39582b.pdf
page 130
The way you have it right now, all AN inputs are analog.
