PIC18F2455/2550/4455/4550


OVERVIEW

Devices in the PIC18F2455/2550/4455/4550 family incorporate a different oscillator and microcontrollerclock system than previous PIC18F devices. The addition of the USB module, with its unique requirements for a stable clock source, make it necessary to provide a separate clock source that is compliant with both USB low-speed and full-speed specifications.To accommodate these requirements, PIC18F2455/ 2550/4455/4550 devices include a new clock branch toprovide a 48 MHz clock for full-speed USB operation.Since it is driven from the primary clock source, an additional system of prescalers and postscalers has been added to accommodate a wide range of oscillator frequencies. An overview of the oscillator structure is shown in figure below.Other oscillator features used in PIC18 enhanced microcontrollers, such as the internal oscillator block and clock switching.The pins for PIC 16 and PIC 18 are 97% identical between the two chips.
