The maximum clock frequency for the MSP430F2013TPW is 16 MHz, but it can be overclocked up to 20 MHz with reduced reliability and increased power consumption.
To use an external crystal oscillator, connect the crystal to the XIN and XOUT pins, and configure the UCSCTL6 register to select the external crystal oscillator as the clock source. Also, ensure that the UCSCTL7 register is set to enable the crystal oscillator.
The minimum voltage required for the MSP430F2013TPW to operate is 1.8V, but it is recommended to operate at a minimum of 2.2V for reliable operation.
To reduce power consumption on the MSP430F2013TPW, use the low-power modes (LPM3 or LPM4) when the device is not actively processing data, and disable any unused peripherals. Additionally, use the clock gating feature to disable clocks to unused modules.
No, the MSP430F2013TPW is not 5V tolerant and should not be used with a 5V power supply. The maximum recommended voltage is 3.6V.
