MSP430F2617TPN datasheet by Texas Instruments

MSP430F2617TPN Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum clock frequency that can be used with the MSP430F2617TPN?
  The maximum clock frequency for the MSP430F2617TPN is 16 MHz, but it can be overclocked up to 20 MHz with reduced voltage and temperature range.
• How do I configure the MSP430F2617TPN 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 inputs. Then, connect the crystal oscillator to the XT2 pins and set the MCLK frequency to the desired value using the CSCTLx registers.
• What is the minimum voltage required for the MSP430F2617TPN to operate?
  The minimum voltage required for the MSP430F2617TPN to operate is 1.8V, but it is recommended to operate at 2.2V or higher for optimal performance and to ensure that all peripherals function correctly.
• How do I use the built-in temperature sensor on the MSP430F2617TPN?
  The built-in temperature sensor on the MSP430F2617TPN is a 10-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) that can be accessed through the ADC10 module. Configure the ADC10 module to read the temperature sensor channel, and then use the ADC10MEM register to read the temperature value.
• Can I use the MSP430F2617TPN with a 3.3V power supply?
  Yes, the MSP430F2617TPN can operate with a 3.3V power supply, but it is recommended to use a voltage regulator to ensure that the voltage remains within the recommended operating range of 1.8V to 3.6V.
