The maximum clock frequency of the MSP430F5244IRGZR is 25 MHz.
To configure the MSP430F5244IRGZR to use an external crystal oscillator, set the XT2OFF bit in the FLLUNLOCK register to 0, and connect the crystal to the XIN and XOUT pins. Then, configure the FLL control registers to select the external crystal oscillator as the clock source.
The maximum current consumption of the MSP430F5244IRGZR is approximately 2.1 mA at 25 MHz and 3.3 V.
To use the built-in UART module on the MSP430F5244IRGZR, configure the UART module by setting the UART control registers, enable the UART module, and use the UART transmit and receive functions to send and receive data.
No, the MSP430F5244IRGZR is not 5V tolerant and should only be used with a power supply between 1.8 V and 3.6 V.
