Hardware Installation
Power may be provided locally from two onboard AAA batteries, externally from a FET, or from an
external supply. The power source is selected by configuring jumpers VCC_1, VCC_2, and BATT. PWR1
and PWR2 independently control the power supply to each MSP430 MCU. See Section 6.5.1 the location
of these jumpers. Figure 3 shows the jumper hierarchy and configuration options.

Figure 3. Jumper Settings for Power Selection
The battery jumper BATT is used to select the onboard batteries to power the system, independent of the
FET connections. The user must ensure that this voltage meets the requirement for proper functionality of
the MSP430 MCU.
The power selection jumpers VCC_1 and VCC_2 select the power connections between the board and
each FET interface. These jumpers are two rows of 3-pin headers, one for each MSP430 onboard.
VCC_1, the bottom row, is for the MSP430FG4618 and, VCC_2 on the top row, is for the MSP430F2013.
A jumper placed on the right 2 pins (FET) selects the JTAG FET as the power source. A jumper placed on
the left 2 pins (LCL) enables local power (either from the batteries or an external supply) to be applied to
each FET for proper logic threshold level matching during program and debug.
Headers PWR1 and PWR2 have been provided to enable power to the individual MSP430s. A jumper
placed on PWR1 provides power to the MSP430FG4618 and a jumper placed on PWR2 provides power
to the MSP430F2013. Individual device current consumption can be measured through each of these
jumpers. Do not make interconnections to the MSP430 MCU that could influence such a measurement.
When the required power selections have been made, the experimenter board is ready to be used. Both
the MSP430FG4618 and MSP430F2013 are factory programmed. After power up, the MSP430FG4618
executes an ultra-low-power real-time clock displayed on the LCD. The MSP430F2013 pulses LED3 from
LPM3 using the VLO for periodic wakeup.

Hardware Overview
This section contains information about the various onboard interfaces and their functionality and about
the various peripherals enabling these interfaces. Wireless applications are facilitated using the
capabilities of the MSP430 MCUs to interface with the wireless evaluation modules (CCxxxxEMK) from TI.
The onboard LEDs and LCD display give visual feedback. Audio applications that leverage the full analog
signal chain of the MSP430FG4618 can be implemented using the microphone and the audio output jack.
In addition, communication across components on and off the board has been integrated.
6.1
Interfaces
Some of these interfaces have the option of being inactive when not in use to conserve power. This is
made possible by port pin configurations on the MSP430 MCUs or hardware jumpers on the experimenter
board. For details of the jumper configurations and positions, see Section 6.5.1.
6.1.1
4-Mux LCD Display
The integrated SoftBaugh SBLCDA4 LCD display supports 4-MUX operation and interfaces to the LCD
driver peripheral of the MSP430FG4618. More information on the LCD can be obtained from the
SoftBaugh website.
6.1.2

Two external push buttons (S1 and S2) connect to port P1, an interrupt-capable digital I/O port on the
MSP430FG4618.
6.1.3
Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs)
The experimenter board has four LEDs. Three connect to the MSP430FG4618, and one connects to the
MSP430F2013. The LEDs are primarily used for display purposes. Two of the LEDs can be disconnected
using jumpers to reduce the overall power consumption of the board.
6.1.4
Buzzer
A buzzer connects to and is driven by a digital I/O port of the MSP430FG4618. The buzzer can be
disconnected by jumper JP1.
6.1.5
Single-Touch Sensing Interface
A capacitive touch sensing interface in the shape of a "4" is provided. This touchpad is connected to the
digital I/O ports of the MSP430F2013. A total of 16 individual segments form the touchpad, and the
MSP430F2013 monitors activity on the touchpad. The resulting data is communicated to the
MSP430FG4618 through the onboard MCU intercommunication connections.
6.2
Communication Peripherals
The experimenter board supports numerous communication interfaces for onboard and offboard
connections.
6.2.1
Wireless Evaluation Module Interface
Interface to the wireless world is accomplished through the wireless evaluation module header supporting
the CCxxxxEMK boards. The transceiver modules are connected to the USART of the MSP430FG4618
configured in SPI mode. For libraries that interface the MSP430 MCUs, visit the CC2500 product page.
The CC2420EMK (obsolete) supports the IEEE 802.15.4 and Zigbee standards. The CC1100EMK
(obsolete) supports an RF carrier frequency up to 868 MHz, and the CC2500EMK and CC2420EMK
support an RF carrier frequency of 2.4 GHz.

The microphone is connected to the MSP430FG4618 and may be used for various applications. The
microphone is enabled or disabled through a port pin connected to the MSP430FG4618.
6.3.2
Analog Filters
An active first-order high-pass filter (HPF) with a cut-off frequency of approximately 340 Hz follows the
microphone to eliminate extremely low input frequencies. An optional second-order Sallen-Key active lowpass filter (LPF) with a cut-off frequency of approximately 4 kHz removes the high-frequency noise on the
analog output of the 12-bit DAC. Figure 5 shows the filter setup. These filters use the integrated op-amps
of the MSP430 MCU. The op-amps OA0 and OA1 facilitate the filtering processes. The gray blocks in
Figure 5 are elements that are internal to the MSP430FG4618.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What devices can be programmed with the experimenter board?
The experimenter board is designed to develop applications using the MSP430FG4618 and
MSP430F2013. These devices can be replaced by MSP430FG461x and MSP430F20xx device
derivatives, respectively.
2. How is power supplied to the experimenter board?
Three supply options exist: 2xAAA battery power, JTAG and external power supplies are supported.
3. Can I use the Parallel FET (MSP-FET430PIF) to program and debug the MSP430 MCUs?
The MSP4304618 supports the USB FET (MSP-FET430UIF) and parallel port FET ( MSPFET430PIF). The MSP430F2013 is supported by the USB FET (MSP-FET430UIF) only. The parallel
port FET does not support the Spy Bi-Wire program and debug mode used.
NOTE: The MSP MCU Programmer and Debugger (MSP-FET) supersedes both the MSPFET430UIF and MSP-FET430PIF.
4. I have erased and reprogrammed the MSP430 MCU. Can I restore the factory-programmed
firmware on the device?
The software source files are available in MSP430Ware for MSP Microcontrollers.

Frequently Asked Questions
www.ti.com
5. The MSP430FG4618 is no longer accessible through JTAG, is something wrong with the
device?
• Verify that the target device is powered properly
• If the target is powered locally, verify Vcc is applied to pin 4 of the JTAG header
• If communication and power are correctly applied to the target and the issue persists, it may be
due to the MSP430FG4618 accidentally being programmed with MSP430F2xx source code. In
some conditions ‘F2xx source code loaded onto the FG4618 can configure the SVS module to
monitor SVSIN (P6.7) and reset the device in case of a low voltage condition externally applied.
Temporarily connecting P6.7 of the FG4618 to Vcc and reprogramming the target device with the
valid source code will eliminate this issue.
6. Does the experimenter board protect against blowing the JTAG fuse of the target devices?
No. Fuse blow capability is inherent to all Flash-based MSP430 devices in order to protect user’s
intellectual property. Care must be taken to avoid the enabling of the fuse blow option during
programming that would prevent further access to the MSP430 device(s) through JTAG.
7. I am measuring system current in the range of 30mA, is this normal?
Current consumption of the system is dependent on the functions and operation of the hardware being
performed. The RF connectivity and isolated UART communication support, when used, can reach
these current consumption levels. Take care that these elements are not accidentally enabled,
specifically the isolated UART, if such system currents are not expected.
8. Can I use two FETs to perform simultaneous access of the FG4618 and F2013 during
program/debug?
Yes, independent flash emulation tools (either USB or Parallel for FG4618 and USB only for F2013)
can be simultaneously used to program the MSP430 target devices. When supplying power from the
FET, it is recommended to use only one FET to source power. The second FET can sense this voltage
level instead of supplying power, to avoid any voltage conflicts in-system. See Section 5 for details
regarding supported power supply configurations.
9. I cannot properly open the workspace and projects provided in the .zip file with IAR, how can I
open the sample code?
The IAR workspace/projects included for the sample code provided has been created using IAR
Embedded Workbench Version 3.42A. These projects are not backward compatible with older IAR
releases and will not open using prior versions. New workspace/projects can be created and the
sample code source files can be added manually in order to build these samples with older versions.
Instruction for setting up a project in IAR are described in the IAR Embedded Workbench IDE Version
7+ for MSP430 MCUs.
10. I have loaded the FG4618 and F2013 sample code for the capacitive touch sensing application.
It doesn’t seem to be working. What is wrong?
Verify that the correct jumper settings are used for H1 enabling the I2C communication link between
MSP430s. Make sure jumper JP2 is removed, disconnecting LED3 from the touchpad circuitry. When
connected, the LED causes the measurement of the capacitive touch element on P1.0 to fail.
