MSP430F5308IPT datasheet by Texas Instruments

MSP430F5308IPT Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum clock frequency that can be used with the MSP430F5308IPT?
  The maximum clock frequency for the MSP430F5308IPT is 25 MHz, but it can be overclocked up to 30 MHz with reduced voltage and temperature range.
• How do I configure the MSP430F5308IPT to use an external crystal oscillator?
  To use an external crystal oscillator, set the XT2OFF bit in the FLLUNLOCK register to 0, and configure the XT2 pins as input pins. Then, connect the crystal oscillator to the XT2 pins and ensure that the crystal frequency is within the recommended range of 3.2 kHz to 16 MHz.
• What is the minimum voltage required for the MSP430F5308IPT to operate?
  The minimum voltage required for the MSP430F5308IPT to operate is 1.8V, but it is recommended to operate at a minimum of 2.2V to ensure reliable operation.
• How do I use the built-in temperature sensor on the MSP430F5308IPT?
  The built-in temperature sensor on the MSP430F5308IPT is a 10-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) that can be accessed through the ADC12 module. Configure the ADC12 module to use the internal temperature sensor as the input channel, and then read the temperature value from the ADC12MEM register.
• Can I use the MSP430F5308IPT with a 5V power supply?
  No, the MSP430F5308IPT is not 5V tolerant and should not be used with a 5V power supply. The recommended operating voltage range is 1.8V to 3.6V.
