MSP430F2013TN datasheet by Texas Instruments

MSP430F2013TN Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum clock frequency of the MSP430F2013TN?
  The maximum clock frequency of the MSP430F2013TN is 16 MHz, but it can be overclocked to 20 MHz with reduced voltage and temperature range.
• How do I configure the MSP430F2013TN to use an external crystal oscillator?
  To use an external crystal oscillator, set the XT2OFF bit in the FLLUNLOCK register to 0, and configure the XT2 pins as input pins. Then, connect the crystal oscillator to the XT2 pins and ensure the correct load capacitors are used.
• What is the minimum voltage required for the MSP430F2013TN to operate?
  The minimum voltage required for the MSP430F2013TN to operate is 1.8V, but it is recommended to operate at 2.2V or higher for optimal performance and to ensure all peripherals function correctly.
• How do I reduce power consumption on the MSP430F2013TN?
  To reduce power consumption on the MSP430F2013TN, use the low-power modes (LPM0-LPM4), reduce the clock frequency, turn off unused peripherals, and use the built-in brown-out reset (BOR) to detect and respond to voltage drops.
• Can I use the MSP430F2013TN with a 5V power supply?
  No, the MSP430F2013TN is not 5V tolerant and should not be used with a 5V power supply. The maximum recommended voltage is 3.6V, and exceeding this voltage can damage the device.
