MSP430FR5043: TACLK and INCLK connection to MSP430

Part Number: MSP430FR5043

Hi

In user guides it is mentioned that " TACLK and INCLK are external clocks that can be connected to MSP430 through external pins." .

1. Are TACLK & INCLK two separate options at pin level.

2. Can i use any GPIO as input clock for timers in addition to TA1CLK, TA0CLK, & TB0CLK ?

3. What is the purpose of TA1.0 TA1.1 TA1.2 pins

Please reply.

    Hi Bivin,

    Yes, if you refer to the port pin functions, section 9.14 in the datasheet, it will show you which level and which PSEL bits to set/clr for each IO pin function.

    No, only those labeled as clock inputs

    These are the outputs for the 3 count/compare modules in the timer.  For example, PWM.

    Hi

    In API userguide, it is mentioned to select clock source as external clock , value to be selected is "Timer_A_Clocksource_external_TXCLK". But this will select, respective clock base, for example TA0CLK for timer A0 base initialization.

    How to choose INCLK as input clock (for example UCA1CLK) while using MSP430 API.

    driverlib timer_a.h says:

    > #define TIMER_A_CLOCKSOURCE_INVERTED_EXTERNAL_TXCLK TASSEL__INCLK

    I see no INCLK option for the EUSCI-s. What is it you would like to accomplish?

    Hi

    Thanks for the reply.

    Yes, exactly i'm not able to find INCLK option in Driver library UG also.

    But it is mentioned in datasheet of MSP that INCLK option is available. So doubt was how this can be used and which pin of MSP430FR5043 corresponds to the same.

    Can you share documents related to INCLK input and how it is used in MSP430 ICs.

    I don't have a copy of the driverlib UG, but most TI documents have a link at the bottom of each page which you can use to tell the writers about any discrepancies you see in the document. In the meantime I expect you can use the symbol I found.

    The datasheet(s) and the user guide(s) are the only documents I know of that discuss INCLK. INCLK usage varies by device. In your case [Ref datasheet (SLASEF5B) Tables 9-12 through 9-17] INCLK for each TAn is the inverse of TAnCLK -- a somewhat arcane usage, but I suppose there's an application for it. For a different device, INCLK may do something different (or maybe nothing at all).
