MSP-EXP430F5529LP: The maximum clock frequency of supported by launch pad

Part Number: MSP-EXP430F5529LP
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430F5529, ENERGIA

Hi,

The maximum clock frequency that MSP430F5529 controller supports is 25MHz. The crystal oscillator on the Launch Pad is of 4MHz only but in the Energia I see there is board selection option as MSP-EXP430F5525LP on 25 MHz. So I want to know what is the maximum clock frequency at which the microcontroller runs on this launch pad board.

Also I want to know what is the maximum PWM frequency possible for this launch pad.

Thanks

  • The maximum MCLK frequency is 25MHz. The PWM frequency depends on the resolution you need.
  • On LP is 4 MHz crystal for USB / BSL support. For 25 MHz must be used DCO. Don't know how this is related to Energia.

    However, if LP is mine product, than I will release it with 24 MHz crystal on board (not 4 MHz) that can be used as source for precise 24 MHz MCLK.

    Maximum frequency that can be on output pin is MCLK / 2 if samples are copied from memory to pin output by DMA.
