Hi!
I would be grateful for newbie comments/help regarding the minimum, reliable, operating voltage of the 28X1.
ONE:
I have looked up the datasheet of the PIC16F886 which states 2v to 5.5v.
I have seen elsewhere that one needs a minimum of 3 volts?
Which is it really?
TWO:
Also, does programming need a higher voltage?
THREE:
Finally, if it does operate down to 2v, can anyone comment as the the accuracy of the delay command as the voltage drops from 3v to 2v (I am NOT using a resonator), or does it stay fairly constant? I suppose 2%-3% for my application would be fine.
Thanks
Mik
P.S. By way of explanation, for various reasons, I HAVE to use two AA (alkaline) batteries.
