The maximum clock frequency of the MSP430F2370IRHAT is 16 MHz.
To configure the MSP430F2370IRHAT to use an external crystal oscillator, connect the crystal to the XIN and XOUT pins, and set the FLLUNLOCK bit in the FLL_CTL0 register to 1. Then, set the XT2OFF bit in the SYS_CTL register to 0 to enable the external crystal oscillator.
The maximum current consumption of the MSP430F2370IRHAT is approximately 2.1 mA at 16 MHz and 3V.
To use the built-in UART module on the MSP430F2370IRHAT, configure the UART module by setting the UCAxCTL0 register to enable the UART module, set the baud rate using the UCAxBR0 and UCAxBR1 registers, and then use the UCAxTXBUF and UCAxRXBUF registers to transmit and receive data.
The JTAG interface on the MSP430F2370IRHAT is used for debugging and programming the device using a JTAG debugger or programmer.
