FLL references are divisible

ACLK / SMCLK / MCLK tree is fully orthogonal Clocks on demand MODOSC provided to modules
Flash controller & ADC12_A

OSC Overview
LF Source

REFO OSC: 32kHz OSC, internal, trimmed 3,5% accuracy used as Failsafe clock for XT1 LF VLO OSC : 12kHz OSC, internal, typical 12Khz (spread from 4kHz up to 20 kHz possible) XT1 OSC : up to two speed modes LF (32kHz) and HF(4-40MHz) by ext. crystal or sourced by an external clock source OSC : same as XT1HF, provides external clock source as well

HF Source

XT2

DCO OSC : Digital controlled OSC, can be stabilized by FLL logic, range 100kHz up to >32MHz used as Failsafe clock for XT1HF and XT2

Secured OSC by Failsafe logic

XT OSC CLKs are secured by a logic switching to a failsafe clock source if selected oscillator fails. Fault Threshold depends of the used mode (LF or HF) by checking the XT Clock period Clocks (S,M,ACLK) sourced by the XT OSC will be switched to the failsafe clock (REFO or DCO) An interrupt flag is triggered as well and allows the Software to react accordingly Exception: Watchdog module contains own failsafe logic and switch to the VLO clock source

Power Management Module (PMM)

PMM Introduction
The PMM manages all functions related to the power supply and its supervision for the device. Its primary functions are first to generate a supply voltage for the core logic, and second, provide several mechanisms for the supervision and monitoring of both the voltage applied to the device (DVCC) and the voltage generated for the core (VCORE). PMM features include: Wide supply voltage (DVCC) range: 1.8 V to 3.6 V Generation of voltage for the device core (VCORE) with up to four programmable levels Supply voltage supervisor (SVS) for DVCC and VCORE with programmable threshold levels Supply voltage monitor (SVM) for DVCC and VCORE with programmable threshold levels Brownout reset (BOR) Software accessible power-fail indicators I/O protection during power-fail condition Software selectable supervisor or monitor state output (optional)

SVSx/SVMx Block Diagram and Function

A few remarks: Level versus edge triggered interrupt flags OVP mode: For OVP mode simply inverted output of SVM comparator is used Set of SVSMHDLYIFG is prevented if device is in LPM234

F5438A datasheet: The SVS/SVM circuitry detects if the supply voltage drops below a user-selectable level and supports both supply voltage supervision (the device is automatically reset) and supply voltage monitoring (SVM, the device is not automatically reset). POR (device reset) sources are defined by PMM control register settings, even SVM can trigger a POR event.

MSP430F5xxx with USB

MSP430 Bus Speed/Role

USB speed classes:
Low Speed: 1,5Mbit / sec Full Speed: 12Mbit / sec High Speed: 480Mbit / sec USB device

USB 2.0 is not a speed

USB 2.0 full-speed = 12Mbps USB1.1 was completely superseded by USB2.0, many years ago

MSP430s USB is full-speed, for applications such as:

Uploading data from a mobile device Downloading a firmware update Controlling/configuring a device

USB Power System (UPS)

Independent of the MSP430 Power Management Module 5V bus power can be applied directly to VBUS pin USB signalling pins (D+/D-) can serve as general-purpose high-current I/Os (~100mA) Two LDOs
5V 3.3V 3.3V 1.8V

USB Clocking
USB clocked from HF crystal on XT2 xtal oscillator
XT2 can also be used for system clocks, as usual Or, input a precise clock from another device

Integrated PLL revs to 48MHz, required when USB is active

Can be powered down during USB suspend, & re-activated when resumed USB clocked from LF source during suspend

PLL is very programmable can adapt to any crystal freq

Choose a frequency used elsewhere in the system Or use the cheapest crystal you can find >4MHz (crystal) or >1.5MHz (bypass mode)

Endpoints
A USB device contains a certain number of endpoints
Multiple endpoints allow composite USB devices to be created This can allow more flexible communication with the host

Example: a device that uses

Mass storage class for moving bulk data Human Interface Device class for control/status equals 4 input endpoints and 3 output endpoints

MSP430s USB has:

8 input endpoints 8 output endpoints Complete flexibility!

USB Memory & Data Transfer

2KB USB RAM of configurable buffer space for IN/OUT endpoints 1-7
Can also be used as system RAM if USB disabled

Each endpoint uses an automatic double-buffered scheme

Automatically toggles between X/Y buffers Aids throughput

Each endpoint described by six registers

Endpoint type X/Y buffer addresses in USB RAM Buffer size Number of bytes in X/Y buffers

Timestamp generator, with 62.5ns resolution Integrated USB PHY Transceiver

CPU/DMA loads data in/out of buffers; automatically TX/RX over USB

What is Cap Touch

C3
text

C4

C1

C2

Looking for a change in Capacitance

When a conductive element is present
Finger or stylus Add C3 and C4, resulting in an increase in capacitance C1 + C2 + C3||C4 This becomes part of the free space coupling path to earth ground

When the dielectric (typically air) is displaced

Thick gloves or liquid results in air displacement and change in dielectric Capacitance is directly proportional to dielectric, capacitance (C2) increases (air ~1, everything else > 1)
9/23/2011 84

Capacitive measurement methodology with the MSP430

Representing a change in capacitance as a change in timer counts for a given measurement time.
RC Measure charge and discharge of the capacitor
The measurement window is the time it takes to get from Vit+ to Vit- and Vit- to Vit+ The timer frequency is fixed (DCO, SMCLK)

RO Measuring multiple charge and discharge cycles

The measurement window is fixed. The timer is fed by the relaxation oscillator and the frequency is now a function of the capacitance.
