MSP430FR2673: Capacitor value on RST pin

Genius 15750 points
Part Number: MSP430FR2673

Hello,

The datasheet recommend to put a 10nF capacitor if JTAG/Spi-bi-Wire are not used.
Is it possible to increase this capacitor value to improve noise tolerance?

Regards,
Oba

  • Hello,

    That should be fine within reason. Keep in mind that higher capacitances will cause programming issues assuming you're using JTAG or SBW for programming the device. If you're using BSL, then it's not an issue. Also, a larger capacitance will slow down the release time of the RST pin, which will impact the startup time of the device after power-on.
