MSP430F423IPM Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum clock frequency that can be used with the MSP430F423IPM?
  The maximum clock frequency for the MSP430F423IPM is 8 MHz, but it can be overclocked up to 16 MHz with reduced voltage and temperature range.
• How do I configure the MSP430F423IPM for low power consumption?
  To configure the MSP430F423IPM for low power consumption, use the low power modes (LPM0-LPM4) by setting the corresponding bits in the status register, and also use the clock gating feature to disable clocks to unused peripherals.
• Can I use the MSP430F423IPM with a 3.3V power supply?
  Yes, the MSP430F423IPM can operate with a 3.3V power supply, but the maximum clock frequency is limited to 4 MHz at this voltage. For 8 MHz operation, a 2.2V to 3.6V power supply is required.
• How do I program the MSP430F423IPM?
  The MSP430F423IPM can be programmed using the Spy-Bi-Wire (SBW) interface or the JTAG interface. TI provides the Code Composer Studio (CCS) integrated development environment (IDE) for programming and debugging the device.
• What is the maximum amount of RAM and flash memory available on the MSP430F423IPM?
  The MSP430F423IPM has 8KB of flash memory and 256 bytes of RAM.
