User's Guides
MSP430F5xx and MSP430F6xx Family User's Guide
Detailed information on the modules and peripherals available in this device family.
MSP430 Flash Device Bootloader (BSL) User's Guide
The MSP430 bootloader (BSL) lets users communicate with embedded memory in the MSP430 microcontroller during the prototyping phase, final production, and in service. Both the programmable memory (flash memory) and the data memory (RAM) can be modified as required. Do not confuse the bootloader with the bootstrap loader programs found in some digital signal processors (DSPs) that automatically load program code (and data) from external memory to the internal memory of the DSP.
MSP430 Programming With the JTAG Interface
This document describes the functions that are required to erase, program, and verify the memory module of the MSP430 flash-based and FRAM-based microcontroller families using the JTAG communication port. The document also describes how to program the JTAG access security fuse that is available on all MSP430 devices. This document describes device access using both the standard 4-wire JTAG interface and the 2-wire JTAG interface, which is also referred to as Spy-Bi-Wire (SBW).
MSP430 Hardware Tools User's Guide
This manual describes the hardware of the TI MSP-FET430 flash emulation tool (FET). The FET is the program development tool for the MSP430 ultra-low-power microcontroller.
Application Reports
Designing With MSP430 MCUs and Segment LCDs
Segment liquid crystal displays (LCDs) are needed to provide information to users in a wide variety of applications from smart meters to electronic shelf labels (ESLs) to medical equipment. This application note helps explain how segmented LCDs work, the different features of the various LCD modules across the MSP430 MCU family, LCD hardware layout tips, guidance on writing efficient and easy-to-use LCD driver software, and an overview of the portfolio of MSP430 devices that include different LCD features to aid in device selection.
MSP430 32-kHz Crystal Oscillators
Selection of the correct crystal, correct load circuit, and proper board layout are important for a stable crystal oscillator. This application report summarizes crystal oscillator function and explains the parameters to select the correct crystal for MSP430 ultra-low-power operation. In addition, hints and examples for correct board layout are given. The document also contains detailed information on the possible oscillator tests to ensure stable oscillator operation in mass production.
MSP430 System-Level ESD Considerations
System-level ESD has become increasingly demanding with silicon technology scaling towards lower voltages and the need for designing cost-effective and ultra-low-power components. This application report addresses different ESD topics to help board designers and OEMs understand and design robust system-level designs.
Using the MSP430 RTC_B Module With Battery Backup Supply
Some applications need to retain an accurate real-time clock (RTC) through battery changes, power outages, and other events. This application note describes how to use RTC_B with battery backup supply functionality to retain the time and keep the RTC counting through loss of main power supply and how to reinitialize when the main power supply is restored.
