Propeller P8X32A?

... it still works on the 4x and lower, but not at the 8x and 16x settings that require more power.

I took a (very) quick look at the data sheet...it seems to indicate the chip boots in 16x PLL mode, and THEN allows you to change the PLL settings? I couldn't get a read on what resonators / crystals are supported....I saw between 4 - 8 MHZ, but then saw settings for higher frequency resonators later on.

Anyway...I brought a 20MHZ resonator in...I'll drop it with Dan today at lunch (I'm attending a cross-country meet after work, so won't be at the create today...)

If it will work for you, feel free...center pin is ground...outside pins go to XTAL0 and XTAL1.

If you can still run 4x PLL, you should be back to full speed!
