MSP430F2001TRSAT datasheet by Texas Instruments

MSP430F2001TRSAT Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum clock frequency that can be used with the MSP430F2001?
  The maximum clock frequency for the MSP430F2001 is 16 MHz, but it can be overclocked up to 20 MHz with reduced voltage and temperature range.
• How do I configure the MSP430F2001 to use an external crystal oscillator?
  To use an external crystal oscillator, connect the crystal to the XIN and XOUT pins, and configure the UCSCTL6 register to select the crystal oscillator as the clock source. Also, ensure that the UCSCTL7 register is set to enable the crystal oscillator.
• What is the minimum voltage required for the MSP430F2001 to operate?
  The minimum voltage required for the MSP430F2001 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 reduce power consumption on the MSP430F2001?
  To reduce power consumption on the MSP430F2001, use the low-power modes (LPM3 or LPM4) when the device is not performing critical tasks, reduce the clock frequency, and disable unused peripherals. Additionally, use the built-in brown-out reset (BOR) to detect and respond to voltage drops.
• Can I use the MSP430F2001 with a 5V power supply?
  No, the MSP430F2001 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.
