1 Introduction

This document is a snapshot of major functional differences between the MSP430F5xx family of devices and its predecessor device families, MSP430F2xx and MSP430F4xx.

In this document, the term core refers to the key subsystem modules that are common to all MSP430F5xx devices. These include the central processing unit (CPUX), the Power Management module (PMM), the Unified Clock System module (UCS), the System module (SYS), as well as memory mapping and allocation.

Most of the core changes to the MSP430F5xx were required primarily to support the growing demands of microcontroller applications, which include higher levels of integration, higher performance levels at lower power, increased flexibility, and extensions for future enhancements. Although these changes were necessary, the intent was to maintain as much look and feel, as well as compatibility, with earlier MSP430 generations.

This application report contains three major sections. The first section describes the memory mapping present on the MSP430F5xx. The second section describes the core modules and any key differences from existing MSP430F2xx and MSP430F4xx devices. The last section describes each of the peripheral modules that exists on the first MSP430F5xx offerings along with any key differences from similar modules found on MSP430F2xx and MSP430F4xx devices.
