The following documents must be acquired:
• Device Datasheet.
This write up covers MSP430G2452 and MSP430G2553 microcontrollers and so we will be
needing the datasheet of these microcontroller for technical specs and characteristics. These
can be found in the following links:
http://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/msp430g2452.pdf
http://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/msp430g2553.pdf
If you are using some other microcontroller then you must acquire its datasheet first.
• Reference Manual.
MSP430G2xx reference manual covers the details of all the hardware available in this family
of microcontrollers. Unlike other microcontrollers, datasheet of a MSP430 micro, only says
about technical specs and characteristics. Reference manuals say about internal hardware,
how to use them and about internal registers. This is the most important document of all.

• Launchpad User Manual and Associated Files.
Visit the following link for Launchpad board user manual and other docs:
http://www.ti.com/tool/msp-exp430g2. This document not just introduces the Launchpad
board, it also contains schematics, layouts and other stuffs. Off all the stuffs in the user
manual, Launchpad board’s schematic is the most valuable thing.
• App Notes.
Though not mandatory, having a collection of MSP430 application notes is a surplus. These
show various ideas and design concepts. Visit TI’s website for these docs.
There are some important websites, online communities and forums that are very helpful. Some of
