INTRODUCTION:
MSP430-HG2231 is header board with MSP430G2231IPW14R ultralow-
power mixed signal microcontroller from Texas Instruments. MSP430G2231IPW14R
has a built-in 16-bit timer, ten I/O pins, a 10-bit A/D converter and built-in commu-
nication capability using synchronous protocols (SPI or I2C). On the board are
available JTAG connector, one status led and extension headers for each microcon-
troller pin, where you can connect your own circuits. All this allows you to build a
diversity of applications.
POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT:
MSP430-HG2231 can take power form:
– EXT1 pin 8 (VIN) and pin 7 (GND) from 4 to 12 VDC
– not typical POWER connector (the connector looks like opened jumper) –
from 4 to 12 VDC
– JTAG
The programmed board power consumption is about 10 mA with all peripherals
enabled.
RESET CIRCUIT:
MSP430-HG2231 reset circuit includes MSP430G2231IPW14R pin 10
(RST/NMI/SBWTDIO), JTAG connector pin 11, and R2 (33kΩ).
CLOCK CIRCUIT:
Quartz crystal 32.768 kHz is connected to MSP430G2231IPW14R pin 12
(XOUT/P2.7) and pin 13 (XIN/P2.6/TA0.1).
