  • Page 4: Getting Started

    The MSP430FG4618/F2013 experimenter’s board is based on the Texas Instruments ultra-low power MSP430 family of microcontrollers [1, 2]. Residing on this board are the MSP430FG4618 [3] and the MSP430F2013 [4] microcontrollers. 3. Tools Requirement An MSP430 Flash Emulation Tool (MSP-FET430UIF) is required to download code and debug the MSP430FG4618 and MSP430F2013.

  • Page 8 CC2500EMK/CC2420EMK at an RF carrier frequency of 2.4 GHz. 6.2.2 RS-232 For a serial interface to a PC, the MSP430FG4618 supports the standard RS-232 9-pin interface via its USCI peripheral configured in UART mode. Standard baud rates for transmission and reception can be configured using in software 6.2.3 I2C/SPI...
  • Page 9 6.3.1 Microphone The microphone is connected to the MSP430FG4618 and may be used for various applications. The microphone is enabled/disabled via a port pin connected to the MSP430FG4618. 6.3.2 Analog Filters An active first order high-pass filter (HPF) with a cut-off frequency set at approximately 340Hz follows the microphone to eliminate extremely low input frequencies.
  • Page 10 6.4.2 MSP430FG4618 Clock Sources A standard 32.768kHz watch crystal is populated at footprint X2 and sources source ACLK of the MSP430FG4618 for low frequency, ultra-low power standby operation and RTC functionality. The integrated FLL+ clock module provides a programmable internal high frequency clock source for the CPU and other peripherals on-chip.
