To day when I was soldering up a Led flasher circuit I just snatched out a 28.224 Mhz crystal from an old modem circuit and fixed it just to test.
At 1st attempt(2.4v-which worked earlier) it didn't worked as expected.
but I tried givinga bit high voltage combining 2 rechargeable cells(3.7v+2.4v=6.1v)
whoops!!

it started to work.I'm so impressed thats why I put this on.
This is also th 1st time I've encountered such a thing.

please can experts tell me why then the microchip data sheet explains maximum clock <= 20Mhz.

Please mind me if this looks stupid.

Code: Select all

int clk  ;
void main() {
  PORTB = 0;
  TRISB = 0;
  clk = Clock_mhz();
  Eeprom_Write(0x01,clk);
 while(1) {
    PORTB =  ~PORTB;
    Delay_ms(1000);
  }
}

EEPROM read after execution

Code: Select all

FF1CFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

Read Overclocking and cooling about this topic. When you increase power and clock frequency, you will have to consider about cooling the chip as well.

The same technique used in PC overclocking, increasing FSB freq. and multiplier [final freq=fsb*multiplier] and also increasing core voltage

I doubt that the pic will heat as the frequency isn't a big amount and the voltage less than in absolute maximum ratings as i can remember
