MSP430F2254IDA datasheet by Texas Instruments

MSP430F2254IDA Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum clock frequency that can be used with the MSP430F2254IDA?
  The maximum clock frequency for the MSP430F2254IDA is 16 MHz, but it can be overclocked up to 20 MHz with reduced voltage and temperature range.
• How do I configure the MSP430F2254IDA 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 external crystal oscillator as the clock source.
• What is the minimum voltage required for the MSP430F2254IDA to operate?
  The minimum voltage required for the MSP430F2254IDA to operate is 1.8V, but it can operate down to 1.6V with reduced performance and functionality.
• How do I use the built-in temperature sensor on the MSP430F2254IDA?
  The built-in temperature sensor on the MSP430F2254IDA can be accessed through the ADC12 module. Configure the ADC12 to read the temperature sensor, and use the temperature sensor calibration data provided in the datasheet to convert the ADC reading to a temperature value.
• Can I use the MSP430F2254IDA with a 5V power supply?
  No, the MSP430F2254IDA is not 5V tolerant and should not be used with a 5V power supply. The maximum recommended voltage is 3.6V.
