MSP430FG4250IDLR datasheet by Texas Instruments

MSP430FG4250IDLR Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum clock frequency that can be used with the internal oscillator?
  The maximum clock frequency that can be used with the internal oscillator is 8 MHz, but it can be increased to 16 MHz with an external crystal oscillator.
• How do I configure the MSP430FG4250IDLR for low power consumption?
  To configure the MSP430FG4250IDLR for low power consumption, use the low-power modes (LPM0-LPM4) and adjust the clock frequency, disable unused peripherals, and use the built-in brown-out reset (BOR) to detect voltage drops.
• Can I use the MSP430FG4250IDLR with a 3.3V power supply?
  Yes, the MSP430FG4250IDLR can operate with a 3.3V power supply, but it is recommended to use a 2.2V to 3.6V power supply for optimal performance and to ensure that the device operates within its specified voltage range.
• How do I program the MSP430FG4250IDLR?
  The MSP430FG4250IDLR can be programmed using the Texas Instruments Code Composer Studio (CCS) or IAR Embedded Workbench development environments, or using the MSP430 Flash Emulation Tool (FET) or the MSP430 UART Bootstrap Loader (BSL).
• What is the maximum amount of flash memory that can be used for program storage?
  The MSP430FG4250IDLR has 16 KB of flash memory, which can be used for program storage, but it is recommended to leave some space for future firmware updates and debugging information.
