CCS/MSP430FR2433: ACLK is not accurate for count 0.0025 second

Part Number: MSP430FR2433


Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

I'm use MSP430FR2433 to make sure other devices are working properly.

The device operates at 400Hz.
So I should be able to measure 0.0025 seconds to find the error.
I tried using ACLK, but it wasn't accurate enough. result was varying for each MSP chip.


DCO, MCLK is 16MHz.


How can I time accurately and precisely?

Thank in advance.
  • Hi,

    Which clock does ACLK come from in your application? Internal REFO or external crystal?
    The internal REFO accuracy is not high, as shown in the figure below:


    You use a timer to generate a timing interrupt at 2.5ms. The clock source of the timer is ACLK? I think you can use SMCLK to improve timing accuracy.

    Best Regards

    Johnson
