MSP430F1610IPMR Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum clock frequency that can be used with the MSP430F1610IPMR?
  The maximum clock frequency for the MSP430F1610IPMR is 8 MHz, but it can be overclocked up to 16 MHz with reduced voltage and temperature range.
• How do I configure the MSP430F1610IPMR for low power consumption?
  To configure the MSP430F1610IPMR for low power consumption, use the low-power modes (LPM0-LPM4) and adjust the clock frequency, disable unused peripherals, and use the built-in brown-out reset (BOR) and power-on reset (POR) features.
• Can I use the MSP430F1610IPMR with a 3.3V power supply?
  Yes, the MSP430F1610IPMR can operate with a 3.3V power supply, but the maximum clock frequency is limited to 4 MHz at this voltage. For 8 MHz operation, a 2.2V to 3.6V power supply is recommended.
• How do I program the MSP430F1610IPMR?
  The MSP430F1610IPMR can be programmed using the Texas Instruments Code Composer Studio (CCS) or IAR Embedded Workbench development environments, or using the MSP430 Flash Emulation Tool (FET) or the MSP430 UART Bootstrap Loader (BSL).
• What is the maximum amount of flash memory that can be used for program storage?
  The MSP430F1610IPMR has 48 KB of flash memory, but 2 KB is reserved for the bootloader and 1 KB is reserved for the information memory, leaving 45 KB available for program storage.
