MSP430G2xx2 Parts are coming :)

[hvontres 22]

Today over on the TI Launchpad wiki (http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/MSP430_LaunchPad_%28MSP-EXP430G2%29) I found this link:

 

http://www.ti.com/lit/zip/slac467

 

 

It looks like the capacitive touch interface could be fun to play with..

thanks for the find, i will complement.

 

i downloaded it and compared it w/ slau80h

 

. for the c sources that matches, only #include header changed, w/ new dates on comments

file name matching is like this (part of a small perl script),

$fn =~ s/g2x12/x20x1/;

$fn =~ s/g2x32/x20x2/;

$fn =~ s/g2xx2/x20x3/;

(except for msp430g2xx2_dco_flashcal.c <> msp430x20x3_dco_flashcal.c)

 

. new files in slac467 (no equivalent in slau80h)

 

msp430g2xx2_pinosc_01.c <> msp430x20x3_pinosc_01.c (new)

msp430g2xx2_pinosc_02.c <> msp430x20x3_pinosc_02.c (new)

msp430g2xx2_pinosc_03.c <> msp430x20x3_pinosc_03.c (new)

msp430g2xx2_pinosc_04.c <> msp430x20x3_pinosc_04.c (new)

msp430g2xx2_ta_uart9600.c <> msp430x20x3_ta_uart9600.c (new)

 

the pinosc are vlo clock usage with also uses the 2nd led launchpad has but not on ez430.

msp430g2xx2_ta_uart9600.c is a higher bit rate software uart, interesting as u can attach 8 leds (or 6 if u use onboard ones too) and the sample will show uart received byte on them (kind of like an very old voice line modem.

 

. some files (f2013 16bit adc usage) are gone in slau467 as they are not applicable in g series.

There are also some new sites;

MSP430G2402;

http://focus.ti.com/docs/prod/folders/p ... g2402.html

MSP430G2452;

http://focus.ti.com/docs/prod/folders/p ... g2402.html

 

but the datasheet are missing

[jsolarski 94]

I just viewed the data sheets

http://focus.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/msp430g2402.pdf

[simpleavr 399]

exciting....

 

the G2402 in 16 pin QFN packaging is "available" @ 3k batches. may be a group buy?

i hope they will have 20 pin dip samples soon. i need the extra io pins.

 

[EDIT]

from datasheet (not detail programming guide)

. timer has 3 capture/compare registers (2 in 2231)

. io pins are touch-sense capable (whatever it means)

. factory calibrated adc / adc clock

Nice finds! Also, confirms my suspicions.

I just placed a sample request for 2 MSP430G2452IN20 parts. They are back ordered until Jan 4,2011, for now

How'd you get a sample request in for the IN20? The site shows "Not Available" for me.

 

Well, at least we have a date. Not that TI's backorder dates have been reliable, mind you.

 

Thanks for the info!

*tries again*

 

Nope, no luck on the PDIP package for any of the new ones, just TSSOP and QFN available. I guess I'll have to wait a while. :?

Thanks for leading the blind to the treasure hvontres!

[gatesphere 45]

TI won't let me order any more...

 

*sigh*

 

Guess I'll just have to buy some when they come out. Not a biggie. I'd gladly pay for a chip with 8k and ADC. It'd be nice to have just one more timer though.

Slow on the uptake, and everything has gone to "Purchase Samples" (with noone having stock, natch). Oh well, It will be a bit before I get to play with the bigger chips. Ha.
