CCS/MSP430F6459: Timer A configuratuion.

Part Number: MSP430F6459


Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hello,

As I'm new to this controller world, I have very basic doubt on this.

I'm trying to configure the Timer A0 with external clock. There are two option TACLK  and INCLK, My doubt is:

1. what is the difference between these two clock.

2. And where I can give these clock as input to the controller (is there any particular controller pin I have to connect these external clock or it can be connected to any of the timer A pin).

Thanks in advance

  • The Family User's Guide names the four timer clock inputs TAxCLK, ACLK, SMCLK, and INCLK.

    In the F6459, the first and fourth inputs are connected to the same pin (as shown in tables 16…19 in the datasheet), so the datasheet calls both inputs by the same name.

    The "module input signal" column calls them TACLK and TACLK, so the latter allows you to use an inverted signal.
