question about MSP430F6723A

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430F6723A, MSP430F6723

Hello 

I selected the MSP430F6723A for new project.

But I can’t find the difference between F6723A and F6723.

They almost have the same specifications.

 

Do anyone kindly to tell me?   THANKS

  • Hello,

    As far as peripherals are concerned, the two devices are exactly identical and neither are NRND (not recommended for new designs). The die of the F6723 was altered after its release which changed enough of the device's characteristics for TI to decided that it was necessary to alter the component's name, hence the F6723A. The MSP430F6723 also contains an extra errata (AUXPMM1) where UAXVCC1/AUXVCC2 can not be switched back to DVCC, this combined with the fact that the two devices are sold at the same price would have me conclude that you are correct in selecting the MSP430F6723A for your design.
