The MSP430 CPU has a 16-bit RISC architecture that is highly transparent to the application. All operations, other than program-flow instructions, are performed as register operations in conjunction with seven addressing modes for source operand and four addressing modes for destination operand.
The CPU is integrated with 16 registers that provide reduced instruction execution time. The register-to-register operation execution time is one cycle of the CPU clock.
Four of the registers, R0 to R3, are dedicated as program counter (PC), stack pointer (SP), status register (SR), and constant generator (CG), respectively. The remaining registers are general-purpose registers.
Peripherals are connected to the CPU using data, address, and control buses. Peripherals can be handled with all instructions.
