6.2 F5529 LaunchPad™ Development Kit

The MSP-EXP430F5529LP LaunchPad Development Kit is an inexpensive evaluation module for the MSP430F5529 USB microcontroller. It is an easy way to start developing on the MSP430 MCU, having on-board emulation for programming and debugging, as well as buttons and LEDs for simple user interface.

Rapid prototyping is simple, thanks to 40-pin expansion headers on the LaunchPad development kit that connect to a wide range of available BoosterPack™ plug-in modules. You can quickly add features like wireless, displays, sensors, and much more. You can either design your own BoosterPack plug-in module or choose among many already available from TI and elsewhere. The 40-pin interface is compatible with any 20-pin BoosterPack plug-in module that complies with the standard.

Features of the F5529 LaunchPad development kit include:

  • USB-enabled MSP430F5529 16-bit MCU
    • Up to 25-MHz system clock; 1.8-V to 3.6-V operation
    • 128KB flash; 8KB RAM
    • Five timers
    • Up to four serial interfaces (SPI, UART, I2C)
    • 12-bit analog-to-digital converter
    • Analog comparator
    • Integrated USB, with a complete set of USB tools, libraries, examples, and reference guides
  • Integrated eZ-FET lite emulator, with an application ("backchannel") UART.
  • Ability to emulate and develop USB applications with a single USB cable, made possible with an on-board USB hub.
  • Power sourced from the USB host. The 5-V bus power is reduced to 3.3 V, using an on-board dc/dc converter.
  • Both male and female 40-pin BoosterPack plug-in module headers, configured for stacking. 20-pin BoosterPack plug-in modules can also be attached.
  • Compatible with the 40-pin BoosterPack plug-in module standard.
