    Hi all,

    In SLAS677B, on Page 2, Table 1 claims that there are two USCI_A (which can be configured as UART/LIN/IrDA/SPI) for MSP430F5308 in PT/RGZ package. This can also be seen in Fig on Page 5 (Functional Block Diagram). However, in Fig on Page 6 (Pin Designation for PT/RGZ package) and in Table 3 (Terminal Functions) no pins are designated as USCI_A0 (there is only USCI_A1) for the PT/RGZ package.

    Q1: How many USCI_A are available for MSP430F5308 in PT/RGZ package?

    Q2: If there are two USCI_A available, which two pins are USCI_A0 RX and USCI_A0 TX?

    Regards

    MSP430F5308

      I don't have access to my datasheets right now, but it is possible that the USCI_A0 signals can be assigned dynamically to a collection of port pins using the port mapping controller.

      Yes, as Jens-Michael said you can remap P4 pins to any peripheral available to the port. By default P4.4 and P4.5 are mapped to UCA1_TX and UCA1_RX, and you can map any of the other 6 pins to UCA0_TX and UCA0_RX.
