MSP430F149 RSOC resistor value range

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430F149

The datasheet for MSP430F149 does not have any information indicating how high or low the ROSC resistor value can be.  Where can I find this information? 

In advance, thank you for your help.

  • The only thing I found was in the 1xx user's guide stating:

    Using an External Resistor (ROSC) for the DCO
    The DCO temperature coefficient can be reduced by using an external resistor
    ROSC tied to DVCC to source the current for the DC generator. Figure 4−6
    shows the typical relationship of fDCO vs. temperature for both the internal and
    external resistor options. Using an external ROSC reduces the DCO
    temperature coefficient to approximately 0.1%/C. See the device-specific data
    sheet for parameters.
    ROSC also allows the DCO to operate at higher frequencies. For example, the
    internal resistor nominal value is approximately 300 kΩ, allowing the DCO to
    operate up to approximately 5 MHz. When using an external ROSC of
    approximately 100 kΩ the DCO can operate up to approximately 10 MHz. The
    user should take care to not exceed the maximum MCLK frequency specified
    in the datasheet, even though the DCO is capable of exceeding it.

    So I guess it should be in the range of 300kOhm to 100kOhm.
