ACLK Signal

Started by John October 11, 2012
Hello all,

I have a quick question if you can help me please?

I am working on MSP430F5529. When I set the P1.0 as output and PS1.0 as one to output the digital clock. When I look at this clock on Oscilloscope I see the signal swings from 0.90 to 2.6V rather than from Zero to 3.0 Volts.

High Regards,

John

You need to set BIT0 of P1OUT and also BIT0 of P1SEL. Is that what you did? Is P1.0 connected to anything other than the oscilloscope?

Thank you for the respond.  My question is why the signal is not swinging from 0 to 3.0  since the MSP430 is powered by 3.0V battery.  Why is it swinging from 0.9 to 2.7V?  In response to your question no there is no load on P1.0 other than oscilloscope.

Thanks,

John.

What happens with a heavier load? Try 1 kohm.

Is P1REN.0 set?

frequency?

Hardy
Okay, here are my responses to your questions:

1- The frequency is about 32.89KH rather than 32.768KHz,
2- I did add 1K the signal did not change,
3- I also set the P1REN.0=1 the signal status is still the same.

Thank you for your help,

John.

Hardy





If you set up P1.0 as general purpose digital output and toggle it with "P1OUT ^= BIT0;" will it swing between 0 and 3V? How about other pins of P1?

Set P1REN.0 to 0, not 1.
