Hi,
so I am trying to make a small pcb board with the MSP430G2252 DIP 20 package. I had a few questions in mind while I looked at the launchpad board.
I see that all the micros have programmable bypass caps in them for the 180 shift, then why does it have space for caps on the board and the ends of the caps don't even go to ground.
Second whats with the resistors in series with the outputs. I don't understand whats the point on even having these as outputs.
Please be descriptive.
Thank you
Edit: One more thing, why are there so many unnecessary vias everywhere on the board. Its not connected to anything is it for heat conduction?
Thanks
