Summing Amplifier
Note: For this and future circuits topics I’ll be using LTSpice, which is provided free from Linear Technology here.  I also recommend viewing my LTSpice Tutorial.  Also, unless otherwise stated, any future discussions involving op-amps will assume an ideal op-amp.  This will assume that the voltages at both inputs are at the same voltage [...]

I just wanted a quick post for people like me who think that some things can’t be as easy as they seem. In this case, using a crystal oscillator.
Looking in the data sheet for your PIC, it will show you the different ways the PIC’s clock can be driven. You’ll notice that in terms of [...]
