Post by thread:How to use the timing clock from PIC?

Felix Cheang Tak Meng Metronet System email: spam_OUTtakmengTakeThisOuTpl.jaring.my Hello, this is the first time I sent request to this list. I'm trying to interface a DAC with PIC16C84. I wanted to synchronize the DAC clock input with PIC16C84 timing clock. How can I do that since PIC16C84 doesn't provide a clock output?

If your PIC clock frequency is high enough the latency caused by the interrupt will be minimal, adn the code is quite straightforward.
