Hi experts,
I would like to know about the fail-safe feature of MSP430I20xx.
As far as I can tell from "4.2.1.3 Fault Detection and Fail-Safe" in the user's guide, when using the external resistor mode, the DCO fault (For example, the resistor is not connected or is shorted to ground, or the resistance is far from the recommended value) is detected, the DCO automatically switches to the internal resistance mode.
Q:What is the clock used to "switch modes" and "change register contents"?
I think the CPU will not function unless some kind of clock is supplied in order to operate the circuit. Since the system that generates the main clock is abnormal due to a ROSC error, I would like to ask you to check what the system clock is that switches to the internal mode.
ROSC error -> system clock stopped -> what clock is it running on?
Best regards,
O.H
