MSP430FR6043: Number of Pluses

Part Number: MSP430FR6043

Tool/software:

I am using the MSP430FR6043 for a water meter application.
The "SLAU720B Ultrasonic Design Center" states "Number of Pulses Range 0 to 63." On the other hand, the "SLAU367P MSP430FR58xx, MSP430FR59xx, and MSP430FR6xx Family User's Guide" states "The PPG generates up to 127 excitation pulses and up to 15 stop pulses." Could you please explain the difference?

  • Hello,

    The first document that you reference is showing the range that is available in the USS Design Center. The 0 to 63 range is the range that we found to be useful during testing and decided to enable for customers through the GUI.

    The second document shows that the pulse generator peripheral itself is capable of generating up to 127 excitation pulses and 15 stop pulses. This would need to be done by configuring the pulse generator manually, rather than inside of the GUI.

    So the short answer is that the difference comes from one describing what we have enabled in the GUI, vs the other describing the actual limitation of the hardware.

  • Dear

    Thank you for your reply. I understand your answer.

    Regards.
