About This Manual
The MSP430x1xx User’s Guide is intended to assist the development of
MSP430x1xx family products by assembling together and presenting
hardware and software information in a manner that is easy for engineers and
programmers to use.
This manual discusses modules and peripherals of the MSP430x1xx family of
devices. Each discussion presents the module or peripheral in a general
sense. Not all features and functions of all modules or peripherals are present
on all devices. In addition, modules or peripherals may differ in their exact
implementation between device families, or may not be fully implemented on
an individual device or device family. Therefore, a user must always consult
the data sheet of any device of interest to determine what peripherals and
modules are implemented, and exactly how they are implemented on that
particular device.
