Technical Information |
Are the tools compatible with Windows NT ?
The current versions of the tools do not run under the Windows NT operating system. Does the simulator support the hardware multiplier on the 33x parts?
Version 2.20 of the simulator does support the hardware multiplier. If you have a older copy, contact your TI representative for an upgrade. Will the stack pointer window of the simulator work with Windows 95 ?
Some versions of Windows 95 are not compatible with the stack pointer window. One option is to not open the stack pointer window. A memory window can be used instead to view the stack, but the auto stack pointer tracking will not work. Does the 32x evaluation kit board (EVK) have the 32x starter kit (STK)
part number on it ?
Yes, the EVK is built using the same printed circuit board as the STK, so they both have the STK part number etched into them (MSP-STK430B320). The two can easily be differentiated by the fact that the EVK has a socket for the MSP430 microcontroller on it, while the STK has the microcontroller soldered directly onto the board. Do all versions of the programming adapter support all OTP and EPROM
devices ?
The the revision B programming adapter currently being produced does support all programmable parts. The programming adapter revision A, and about the first 20 revision B adapters did not. To modify an early rev B programmer, connect a 33 ohm resistor in parallel with the 220 ohm resistor R27. Also jumper pin 2 and pin 6 of the resistor array RN2 together. To modify a rev A programmer, connect a 33 ohm resistor in parallel with the 220 ohm resistor R6. Also jumper pin 4 and pin 6 of the resistor array RN2 together. If the ADC is run in 14bit mode are these 4 offsets relevant or should I
just refer to the LAV1 spec (-45/ -10/ 22, min/typ/max lsb) for the entire range ?
No, this is not relevant. If we look at the data there is no such step between the four ranges. Can only the x320 family do A/D conversions ? No, all MSP430 family members can do slope A/D conversions with the Timer/Port module. What is the fastest speed of a S/W based SPI with the MSP430 ? The fastest S/W SPI algorithm needs 10 cycles. The x330 family members also support SPI with the hardware USART.
Can the MSP430 support a 9600 Baud UART?
All MSP430 family members can support high speed UARTS with the 8-bit timer counter and the MCLK as the clock source. Also, the x33x family members support high speed UARTS with the hardware USART. MCLK 2.457 MHz, 9600, 19200, 38400, baud rates are possible.
Correct Termination of unused Pins MSP430 pins not used need to be treated in a defined manner. The list below defines the correct termination for every pin not used in a given application. The shown termination assures lowest supply current. PIN Potential Comment
