Title: Auto-calibration of the PIC12F6XX Internal RC Oscillator to ± 1%
Name: AN250
Date: 5/12/03
Author: Mike Rylee
Description:

This application note describes a technique used to calibrate the internal oscillator on the PIC12F6XX devices. This technique allows the internal oscillator to
be calibrated within ± 1%. See the test circuit shown in Figure 1.

This application note is useful in the following applications.

  1. High volume production environment.
  2. Battery applications using on-board calibration to recalibrate the internal RC oscillator as the battery voltage drops.
  3. Applications that are exposed to a varying voltage and temperature range could have intelligent on-board recalibration.
