I've got the databook for that part in my lap right now, and it is not specified for operation above 12 MHz. Are you willing to invest all this time, effort, and expense, in something that, at best, MIGHT work properly? I also looked at it too, and it mentioned one chip (80C51-BH1 I think) had a maximum speed of 16Mhz. Given what I have on hand, and my experiences, Yes. I may be stupid according to you, but at least I have the guts to try to make something halfway decent from an amateur level. You DO know that that's a CMOS device that requires pullups, right? Yes and No. I tried pull-ups and when I took them out, my first unit still worked. How does that help your part operate at 1.5x its' specified rate? Are you playing "fast and loose" with the spec's? The store had 2 crystals I could use to generate common baud rates. The 8.064Mhz (something like that), and the 18.432Mhz. I went with the 18.432Mhz because it was faster, and I didn't have to pay more for it. |
