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.
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.
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.
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.
The MSP430F423IPM has 8KB of flash memory and 256 bytes of RAM.
