Programming the 12c508a PLL

[XXL]

Can someone point me in the right direction to program this device. I need software to generate the hex file but I can’t find anything on google.

I know nothing about writing a hex script, I need a program to generate it, like the RDS software.

12c508 like rds ? ,who said it work like this ,have you tried the one babyrds mini here with the hex ? before entering headackes

When programming an RDS device, the pic requires a hex file. But instead of writing it manually, it’s generated by software and then written to the device. I need something like this to program the 12c508a.

The 12c508a is a PIC, and before you can use any kind of code on this PIC you’ll need to know the type of PLL you’ll be using also. The PIC and PLL are two separate devices. The hex file (if you find one online somewhere) will only work with one specific PIC and PLL pair.

There are hex files floating around for the 16F628A and TSA5511 on some sites. I used this PIC/PLL combo in one of my first designs, however I wrote my own code using Microchips XC8 compiler.

Yeh I’m trying to get it working with the MC145170p2. I have been given a load of unprogrammed driver boards from an old rig builder that would have been waiting to go into rigs but the person decided to quit building. They all work, just only VFO.

We need to know more about the driverboard
is it a 50MHz osc and what is the pinout of the 12C508 etc etc
please post a picture of the driverboard and maybe we can help you out

I’ve written code which can control the SPI bus on the MC145170, if you provide more details on how the 12C508 is connected, which pins goto the pins on the PLL then it’s not too difficult to write code for that PIC.
