Hello Wolfgang :D

Yes, the stm32F407ZG can run at 168MHZ.
May I know what is the problem? I didn't quite understand you :shock:

Kindest Regards

I had not noticed before that the product page says: "The power of 216 MHz".

I find that confusing, but presumably ME are trying to say that F4 chip running at 168 MHz has equivalent processing power to some other MCU running at 216 MHz?

I guess that the important point is that 168MHz is the maximum clock speed for this ARM chip.

Hello hexreader
Long time no see. I hope everything is okay with you :D
I guess that number (216) is just a typo, I've got nothing to think of it.

Hello Wolfgang
I can see your point now. I guess it's a typo, but let's wait for an official reply from MikroElektronika regarding this to be 100% sure.
btw, I think you need to give us more details in your future posts. I'm sitting here guessing what you're saying :mrgreen:

Best Regards :D

Hi,

OK will improve me, thought the link is enough to see the 216MHZ is a write error.
(Almost ordered the cheaper board by volatile read)

Ah.... now I get it....

This board with "F7" ARM chip:
https://shop.mikroe.com/smart-displays/ ... -7/stm32f7

Is 216 MHz.

What is written about "F4" ARM chip is just plain wrong :(

@ME Please would you fix the errors in the website for F4 version of the board. Many thanks.

Hello Lana Arsic :D
Thank you so much for your efforts. They are very appreciated :D

I don't mean to hijack the topic, but could you please report another typing mistake?
It's in the user manual of the EasyPIC V7 that is linked below:
https://download.mikroe.com/documents/f ... -v104c.pdf

In pages (25) (GLCD 128x64), the last lines in the paragraph to the right say:
"Full brightness display back light can be enabled with SW4.5 switch, and PWM-driven back light with SW4.6 switch."
The mistake here is the numbers of the switches, where it should say:
"Full brightness display back light can be enabled with SW4.6 switch, and PWM-driven back light with SW4.5 switch."
Keep up the amazing work :D
Always remember that the technical support team is my favourite team :mrgreen:
