msp403afe253 on a bread board

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430AFE253

Hi,

I want to use the MSP430AFE253 on a breadboard and use it for energy measurement. Can a simple DIP adapter be used or do I need to make other changes as well?

Thank you

Of course you can use a 24 pin TSSOP adapter to bring it into DIP format. Why not?

Such an adapter might introduce additional resistances and capacitances, but this is usually not much of a problem unless you are using high-frequency signals.

If you're using a crystal, all the usual guidelines still apply. In that case, it might be a good idea to solder the crystal (and the decoupling capacitors, while you're at it) directly on the adapter. This would be somewhat similar to the Arduino Nano board.
