Just like any other evaluation kit, every Launchpad comes embedded with user LEDs, buttons, I/O port
headers (also known as BoosterPack connectors), onboard power supply, USB-to-serial converter and
programming interfaces.
MSP430s are ultra-low power 16-bit general purpose microcontrollers. A MSP430 micro consists of a
16-bit RISC CPU, wide variety of feature-rich peripherals and a flexible clock system all under the hood
of a von-Neumann architecture. Because of their ultra-low energy consumption profile, MSP430s are
well-suited for battery/solar powered/limited or renewable energy applications.
MSP430G2452 and MSP430G2553 are both almost identical in terms of hardware peripherals and pin
count. MSP430G2553 has some additional hardware features like more RAM-ROM memories, timers
and USCI-based hardware interfaces for LIN and IrDA communications.
