Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430F5529

Hi everyone,

Here in the launchpad info http://www.ti.com/ww/en/launchpad/launchpads-msp430-msp-exp430f5529lp.html#tabs

it says that the MCU has 8Kb RAM.

But in the MCU info it says 10Kb RAM. Which is it? http://www.ti.com/product/MSP430F5529

    Hi Luis,

    The MSP430F5529 datasheet and product page show that it has 8kB + 2kB of RAM. The distinction is there is 8kB of RAM, and then an additional 2kB of "USB RAM" set aside for use by the USB to be a USB Buffer. See the datasheet www.ti.com/lit/gpn/msp430f5529 p. 2 Table 1 Family Members, you can see Footnote 1 on the amount of SRAM says:

    "

    The additional 2 KB USB SRAM that is listed can be used as general purpose SRAM when USB is not in use.

    "

    So there's 2kB of SRAM set aside for USB, but if you don't use USB you should be able to use this RAM space for other things.

    Regards,

    Katie
