MSP430F6736A: Baud Rate of 1Mbps for UART@ XIN is 32Khz

Part Number: MSP430F6736A

Hi Experts,

I am posting this on behalf of the customer. 

I just need to confirm “MSP430F6736A” The Max clock on Xin for this IC. is only 32.768KHz Yes or No?

And Can I use Higher like 4 Mhz for Xin so that I can achieve 1Mbps Baud Rate at the output ( Based on your Calculator based on yr link below)

At the moment, I am evaluating all the different processors. If The answer is No, Then I have to use another Processor to meet my system requirement of 1 Mbps or higher.

Is there any recommendation?

Best regards,

Jonathan

  • just because the crystal is at 32 KHz does not mean that the system clock is that low.      it can be the reference for the FLL

  • Hello,

    Yes, the max clock on XIN is 32.768 kHz. However, the maximum UART baud rate on this device is 5 Mbaud, which should be more than enough for your application. You would  use the DCO instead of an external crystal.

    Thank you,

    Susan
