1、中文 5030 字 Embedded Systems Design using the TI MSP430 Series（ selection） This book is intended for the embedded engineer who is new to the field, and as an introduction and reference for those experienced with micro-controller development, but are new to the MSP430 family of devices. I have assumed
2、that the reader has some experience with microcontroller-based design, either professionally or academically. As an example, the book de- scribes interrupt functionality in detail, but assumes that you, the reader, already know what an interrupt is and how to use it. It is also important to note tha
3、t, while much of the information in this book is identical to that which is available from the TI documentation, this book is intended to supplement, not replace that valuable source of information. The Users Guides and Application Notes together offer a depth and breadth of technical information th
4、at would be difficult to replicate in a single source. The intent of this book is to highlight some of the most commonly used information, along with some helpful suggestions and rules of thumb. The MSP430 Family The MSP430 family is a broad family of low power, feature rich 16-bit microcontrollers
5、from Texas Instruments. They share a common, RISC-type, Neumann CPU core. The 430 is competitive in price with the 8-bit controller market, and supports both 8 and 16-bit instructions, allowing migration from most similarly sized platforms. The family of devices ranges from the very small (1k ROM, 1
6、28 bytes for RAM, sub-dollar) up to larger (60k ROM, 2k RAM, with prices in the $10 range) devices. Currently, there are at least 40 flavors available, with more being added regularly. The devices are split into three families: the MSP430x3xx, which is a basic unit, the MSP430x1xx, which is a more f
7、eature-rich family, and the MSP430x4xx, which is similar to the 1xx, with a built in LCD driver. You will find these referred to as 1xx, 3xx, and 4xx devices throughout this book. Part Numbering Convention Part numbers for MSP430 devices are determined based on their capabilities. All device part nu

The part numbering scheme described above is a bit fragmented. There are common features not
11、 consistently represented (type of ADC, number of timers, etc), and there are some other inconsistencies (for example, the 33 family has the multiplier, but the 13 and 43s do not). I would recommend against selecting parts based on their numbering scheme. Rather, once you have a vague idea of your r
12、equirements, go to the TI website (www.TI.com), and use their parametric sort feature. Architecture: CPU and Memory As discussed in chapter 1, the MSP430 utilizes a 16-bit RISC architecture, which is capable of processing instructions on either bytes or words. The CPU is identical for all members of
13、 the 430 family. It consists of a 3-stage instruction pipeline, instruction decoding, a 16-bit ALU, four dedicated-use registers, and twelve working (or scratchpad) registers. The CPU is connected to its memory through two 16-bit busses, one for addressing, and the other for data. All memory, includ
14、ing RAM, ROM, information memory, special function registers, and peripheral registers are mapped into a single, contiguous address space. This architecture is unique for several reasons. First, the designers at Texas Instruments have left an awful lot of space for future development. Almost half th
15、e Status Register remains available for future growth, roughly half of the peripheral register space is unused, and only six of the sixteen available special function registers are implemented. Second, there are plenty of working registers. After years of having one or two working registers, I greatly enjoyed my first experience with the twelve 16-bit CPU scratchpads. The programming style is slightly different, and can be much more
