MSP430C315

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430FR4133, MSP430FR4131

Hi, I have an old design with a MSP430C315 microcontroller which is obsolete. I need to update this to a more recent processor. I don't have a lot of experience with MSP processors.

Where do I have to pay attention to when selecting a newer MSP processor to make it work with the old software? What are the main differences? I can't find a comparrison chart between the 3 series and the 6 series, they have comparrison charts for the 2 and 4.

    Hi,

    Regardless of the microcontroller that you choose, you will need to make changes to the software, because somethings will always be different, such as register names, etc. So I recommend that you chose a new device based on the peripherals, memory, operating frequency, and other relevant factors. If you tell me what peripherals/modules you are using and what your constraints are I can help point you to the right device.

    Hi Nathan,

    The peripherals I need are:

    - LCD controller

    - Precision comparator with timer interrupt

    - Clock freq. 1 Mhz

    It also would be great if it's pin compatible with the MSP430C315IDL SSOP-56 package.

    Also I need more power modes, but I think this is a general feature of the MSP430 which all have nowadays.

    Hi,

    Based on those peripherals, I would suggest that you look at the MSP430FR4133 (or MSP430FR4131 or MSP430FR41312 depending on how much memory you need). I do not believe you will find a device that is completely pin compatible, so you will probably need to update your design. The code will also require some changes, but it should be fairly similar.

    Hi Nathan,

    Those devices don't have a comparator. I need a comparator which is connected to a timer for an external AD-Slope conversion

    Hi,

    I apologize for the oversight. Please see the following link for a searchable list of MSP430 devices. I have added both LCD controller and comparator to the desired features, so you can see the list to pick your part based on price, memory and package shape and size.
