Dear All
I am evaluation the MSP430 for a low power application. One of the key points for the application is a quick wake up time from deep sleep mode, where the CPU clock is stopped.
I have seen the MSP430 seems to have very fast wake up time from deep sleep, in the order of us, I have not been able to ascertain if this is only when running the DCO as the source of CPU clock, or if it is applicable also when the CPU clock source is an external crystal.
Other architectures can also wake up relatively quickly when using the internal RC oscillator as a clock source, but take in the order
