I wish to use the MSP430G2533 to make an accurate time measurement using an external Crystal Clock and an external trigger. I realize that the XIN/XOUT can not be used with a high frequency crystal. I looked at the specifications for digital IO and did not see a maximum frequency or minimum period specification. Can I connect an 8MHz or even a 4MHz crystal oscillator to P1.0 (TA0.TACLK) and use timer A0 with the edge trigger using P1.1 (Timer 0 CCI0A) to make edge to edge time measurements. I assume the same answer would apply if I use P3.7 (TA1.TACLK) as the high frequency clock input and P2.5 (Timer 1 CCI2B) to make edge to edge time measurements.
