#122628 - A definite "maybe" Responding to: ???'s previous message |

I am just curious if this is possble. Say with and OSC or the likes. As Jez says, with a properly-buffered clock source (eg, an oscillator module) - Yes! What you can't do is just hang multiple 8051s off the crystal of one 8051. See previous discussions if this is what you want to do... I am also wondering how many you could run from a single clock source That would depend entirely on the output spec of the source in question - you will have to read the Datasheet for that! Also, as Jez mentioned, beware of "clock skew" - where the clock edges get slightly out of sync through the distribution chain. Depending on what exactly you're doing, this may or may not be significant - but you need to understand the issues! |

How many and how far apart? | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
As many as possible I guess. | 01/01/70 00:00 | |

Yes, but is it a million or a dozen? | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
