MSP430F2234IDAR Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum clock frequency of the MSP430F2234IDAR?
  The maximum clock frequency of the MSP430F2234IDAR is 16 MHz.
• How do I configure the MSP430F2234IDAR to use an external clock source?
  To use an external clock source, connect the external clock signal to the XIN pin and set the UCSSELx bits in the UCSCTL4 register to select the external clock source.
• What is the purpose of the RST/NMI pin on the MSP430F2234IDAR?
  The RST/NMI pin is a dual-function pin that can be used as either a reset input (RST) or a non-maskable interrupt (NMI) input.
• How do I use the built-in UART on the MSP430F2234IDAR?
  To use the built-in UART, configure the UART module by setting the UCAxCTL0 and UCAxCTL1 registers, and then use the UART transmit and receive functions to send and receive data.
• What is the power consumption of the MSP430F2234IDAR in low-power mode?
  The power consumption of the MSP430F2234IDAR in low-power mode (LPM3) is approximately 0.5 μA/MHz.
