The maximum clock frequency of the MSP430F4371IPNR is 16 MHz.
To configure the MSP430F4371IPNR 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 MSP430F4371IPNR is approximately 2.1 mA at 16 MHz and 3.3V supply voltage.
To use the built-in UART module on the MSP430F4371IPNR, configure the UART pins as alternate function inputs, set the UART module to the desired baud rate and data format, and use the UART transmit and receive registers to send and receive data.
No, the MSP430F4371IPNR is not 5V tolerant and should only be used with a power supply voltage between 1.8V and 3.6V.
