MSP430F5438

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430F2370, MSP430F5438

I am trying to use timerb to comp the ACLK however

I cannot get the capture to work. The code works fine on a 2370

so the concepts are ok,  the question is what is different that I might have missed

converting. I changed from  timer 2 to timer 6 any other idea's.

I am only polling for change so this is not an interrupt issue.

  • The MSP430F2370 is implemented with the ACLK output assigned to the same pin of the device as the Timer_A0 capture 2 input.  Looking at the pin schematics for the MSP430F2370, it allows the Timer_A0 capture 2 input to receive the ACLK signal and therefore could be run to capture the ACLK.

    The MSP430F5438 is not implemented in the same fashion.  Therefore, to achieve the same result, you need to externally connect one of the pins that can be configured for ACLK and route it to the Timer_A0 capture 2 input.
