Hello, I have a question about TI MSP430F5419A. The datasheet shows that the recommended supply voltage of the micro is in the 1,8V-3,6V range. The maximum allowable voltage ( from absolute maximum ratings ) is 4,1V, beyond which the micro can suffer permanent damage. Between 3,6V and 4,1V what can happen to the micro? Can it be electrically damaged or do the effects only affect the correct execution of the software instructions?
Thank you very much for the kindly answer that you will give me.

Hello Daniele,
the recommended operating conditions, especially the operating voltage should be respected. This means you should not operate the device at voltages between 3.6V-4.1V. On one hand the specified parameters are only guaranteed in the recommended operating voltage range, on the other hand, the life time of the device would degrade at these voltages and the device might be subject to parameter degradation or complete failures.
Of course the risk will increase with increasing overvoltage relative to 3.6V and duration of the applied overvoltage.
I hope this answers your question.
Best regards
Peter
