SLAA361A July 2007 – August 2018 MSP430F169 , MSP430F169 , MSP430FG4618 , MSP430FG4618
The MSP430F169 has an integrated 12-bit SAR ADC, a hardware multiplier module that allows efficient realization of digital filters, and an integrated 12-bit DAC module. Figure 4 shows a signal chain circuit in the MSP430F169.
This configuration also works with an external serial flash memory, which could be used for storage of the audio data. It is possible to connect an external flash memory through the I2C or SPI interface of the MSP430 MCU. The CPU loading could be greatly reduced by using the MSP430F169 DMA module for automatic transfers of received data to RAM.
