PIC24FJ256GA7 96MHZ PLL MODE NOT OPRATE

HELLO
 
I am using pic24fj256ga7 curiosity development board . i use internal FRC clock . configurations are as shown below
 
_FOSCSEL(FNOSC_FRCPLL& PLLMODE_PLL4x  & IESO_OFF)
 
and clock settings are
CLKDIV = 0x3100;
OSCTUN = 0x0000;
REFOCONL = 0x9206;
REFOCONH = 0x0000;
REFOTRIML = 0x0000;
DCOTUN = 0x0000;
DCOCON = 0x0700;
OSCDIV = 0x0000;
OSCFDIV = 0x0000;
RCON = 0x0000;


and also 10uf capacitor available between vdd and vcap pins.
 but still I didn't get proper clock. I only receive 8 MHz clock . 
 
is there any  way to get 32 MHz clock by internal oscillator?

Hi,
Did you check the demo code for this board ?
https://www.microchip.com/DevelopmentTools/ProductDetails/DM240016
Maybe it shows how to initialize it.
I suggest you use MCC plugin to generate code for the clock and you'll be able to see what it needed.
Not only configuration bits but sometimes some initialization code is also needed to wait for PLL lock...
I confirm that it is possible to get Fosc = 32MHz from internal oscillator using PLL
Regards
 

How are you measuring that you only get 8MHz? Details matter!
Also it might help if you give us the full device name - a quick check shows that there are several parts that begin with that name but seem to have different data sheets.

Why not use the REFO? You are already setting it up (in the REFCONL register) but don't show us which pin you have mapped it to.
Using the SPI module is a very round-about way of doing this. You need to show us the SPI setup code and how you are calling the SPI module.
Better still show us ALL of the code for a complete but small app that demonstrates the problem. My guess is that the problem is on part of the code you don't show us.

hello ,Thank you for answers ,i fixed it ,now i use 32MHZ internal frequency using PLL.
