However due to cheapness and relatively good availability Launchpad boards are by far most popular,
particularly the MSP-EXP430G2 Experimenter’s Launchpad board.
This board comes boxed with two micros – MSP430G2452 and MSP430G2553. Both of these mixed-
signal MCUs come in PDIP packages. We can take them off from the board and use them in bread
boards, strip boards, PCBs, etc. Shown below is the layout of a MSP-EXP430G2 Launchpad board.
