The maximum clock frequency that can be used with the internal oscillator is 4 MHz. However, it's recommended to use a crystal oscillator or an external clock source for more accurate and stable clocking.
To configure the WDT, you need to set the WDTCLK register to select the clock source, set the WDTCNT register to set the timeout period, and enable the WDT by setting the WDTEN bit in the WDTCTL register. You can also use the WDT reset flag (WDTF) to detect WDT resets.
Yes, the ADC can be used to convert analog signals from external sources. You need to configure the ADC to use an external reference voltage, select the correct ADC channel, and enable the ADC module. You can also use the ADC interrupt to trigger conversions and read the converted values from the ADC result registers.
To implement a UART communication protocol using the SCI module, you need to configure the SCI module to use the correct baud rate, data bits, parity, and stop bits. You can use the SCI control registers to set the communication parameters and enable the SCI module. You can also use the SCI interrupt to trigger transmission and reception of data.
The COP module is a watchdog timer that monitors the MCU's operation and resets the MCU if it detects a fault or a hang condition. The COP module can be used to detect software faults, such as infinite loops or unhandled interrupts, and reset the MCU to a safe state.
