MSP430F248TPM datasheet by Texas Instruments

MSP430F248TPM Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum clock frequency of the MSP430F248TPM?
  The maximum clock frequency of the MSP430F248TPM is 16 MHz.
• How do I configure the MSP430F248TPM to use an external crystal oscillator?
  To use an external crystal oscillator, connect the crystal to the XIN and XOUT pins, and configure the UCS (Universal Clock System) module to use the external crystal oscillator as the clock source.
• What is the purpose of the RST/NMI pin on the MSP430F248TPM?
  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. When configured as a reset input, it can be used to reset the device. When configured as an NMI input, it can be used to generate an interrupt that cannot be masked by the CPU.
• How do I use the built-in UART on the MSP430F248TPM?
  To use the built-in UART on the MSP430F248TPM, configure the USCI (Universal Serial Communication Interface) module to operate in UART mode, and connect the UART pins (TXD and RXD) to the desired serial communication device.
• What is the power consumption of the MSP430F248TPM in low-power mode?
  The power consumption of the MSP430F248TPM in low-power mode (LPM3) is approximately 0.5 μA/MHz, depending on the clock frequency and other factors.
