MSP430F2001IN datasheet by Texas Instruments

MSP430F2001IN Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum clock frequency that can be used with the MSP430F2001IN?
  The maximum clock frequency for the MSP430F2001IN is 16 MHz, but it can be operated at frequencies up to 20 MHz with reduced voltage and temperature ranges.
• How do I configure the MSP430F2001IN to use an external clock source?
  To use an external clock source, connect the clock signal to the XIN pin and set the UCSSELx bits in the UCSCTL6 register to select the external clock source. Also, make sure to configure the XT2 oscillator by setting the XT2OFF bit in the UCSCTL6 register to 0.
• What is the minimum voltage required for the MSP430F2001IN to operate?
  The minimum voltage required for the MSP430F2001IN to operate is 1.8V, but it is recommended to operate at a minimum of 2.2V for reliable operation.
• How do I use the built-in UART module on the MSP430F2001IN?
  To use the built-in UART module, configure the UART pins as outputs by setting the PxDIR register, then configure the UART mode by setting the UCMODEx register, and finally set the baud rate by writing to the UCBRx register.
• Can I use the MSP430F2001IN with a 3.3V power supply?
  Yes, the MSP430F2001IN can be used with a 3.3V power supply, but it is recommended to use a voltage regulator to ensure a stable voltage supply to the device.
