MSP430FR6989: Default SMCLK frequency

Part Number: MSP430FR6989

Is the default frequency of the SMCLK 1.048MHz as seen here http://e2e.ti.com/support/microcontrollers/msp430/f/166/t/157922?What-is-MSP430F5XXX-SMCLK-default-frequency-at-Power-on-

or is it automatically calibrated to 1.000 MHz by default? 

My goal is to choose the correct UCBRx UCBRFx and UCBRSx for UART transmission. I am not sure if the BRCLK would be 1048576 or 100000 by default.

  • Hi Tyler,

    I must to tell you that the clock will not be 1048576 or 100000 actually, because every clock has a jitter . Please see the datasheet.  Normally, we will treat it as 1MHz, the jitter is not taken into consideration. Please see the second chart. You can just set the registers according to the chart.

  • Thank you that makes sense as it is sourced by RC which has a larger error tolerance. I have one follow up question:

    You said "Normally, we will treat it as 1MHz"

    is 1MHz considered to be 1000000 or 1048576? 

  • Hi,

    1MHz is considered to be 1000000. You can also check by yourself. Here is the test code. You can output SMCLK from GPIO.

    //   To observe failsafe behavior short the crystal briefly on the target board.
    //   This will cause an NMI to occur. P1.0 is toggled inside the NMI ISR.
    //   Once the fault flag is cleared XT1 operation continues from 32768Hz crystal
