Hi all... Stupid question if you don't mind.. I'll be using an external RTCC (NXP PCF2127A) which can provide a clock output which I was thinking about connecting as the external clock to drive the PIC24FJ64 processor clock.. However, the spec-sheet for that PIC part (section 2.6) indicates that I should use grounded copper pours and is very specific about parts placement.. However, if I'm just connecting a line from the RTCC's clock-out line to the OSCI line on the PIC24 is this really necessary? I'll not be using an XTAL or caps as far as I know.. I'm still reading up on the external oscillator use in the spec sheet to ensure I'm following it..
I guess I could just skip this and use the internal clock and leave it at that. Any suggestions here? I don't need a super accurate setup since my RTCC will take care of good time keeping for me..
Thx!
