3.3.3J6, JMP5, JMP6, B1: Power Connectors

The MSC1211EVM features a flexible power supply. Externally generated power, the onboard regulator circuitry and supplied wall-wart, or a 9V battery can all be used to supply power. Furthermore, the separated analog and digital power supplies can be powered differently; e.g., the analog power supply can be powered externally, and the digital power supply can use the onboard regu- lator, at the same time; this is configured using jumpers JMP5 and JMP6. The exception to this is that the battery and wall–wart cannot be used at the same time (see following paragraph).

Four power connectors are provided: JMP5 (pins 2–3) and JMP6 (pins 2–3) for external power, battery terminal B1 for a 9V transistor radio battery, and J6 for the supplied wall-wart. J6 is a switched jack— connecting a plug to J6 auto- matically disconnects the battery terminal. This prevents the battery and J6 from supplying power simultaneously.

Battery power is regulated by the same circuitry that regulates J6 (wall–wart) power. Note that when a battery is connected to B1, approximately one half of the prototyping area is covered up by the battery.

Caution: Be very careful when connecting external power supplies to JMP5 (pins 2 and 3) and JMP6 (pins 2 and 3). They are not protected against reversed polarity. If you connect them backwards (i.e., with reversed polarity), it is likely that the MSC1211EVM will be permanently damaged.

MSC1211 specifications

Texas Instruments MSC1211 is a highly integrated, low-power microcontroller designed specifically for applications requiring high accuracy and precision in signal processing. As a member of the Texas Instruments Microcontroller family, the MSC1211 targets industrial automation, medical instrumentation, and portable measurement devices, making it a versatile choice for designers across various industries.

One of the standout features of the MSC1211 is its 16-bit ADC (Analog-to-Digital Converter) that boasts a resolution of 16 bits, which enables the microcontroller to accurately convert analog signals into digital data. This high resolution makes it suitable for applications where precision is paramount, such as in medical devices that require accurate readings from sensors. The device can achieve sampling rates up to 1 kSPS (kilo Samples Per Second), making it efficient for real-time signal processing.

Another key characteristic of the MSC1211 is its low power consumption. The microcontroller employs advanced power management features, allowing it to operate in various power modes, making it ideal for battery-operated devices. The sleep mode dramatically reduces power consumption, extending the operational life of portable equipment significantly.

The MSC1211 features a built-in digital signal processor (DSP) that facilitates efficient data processing and filtering, enabling complex algorithms to be executed on the captured signals in real-time. This capability simplifies design considerations for developers, reducing the need for external DSP chips and enhancing system integration.

Connectivity is another significant aspect of the MSC1211. It supports standard communication protocols such as SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) and I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit), making it easy to interface with a variety of sensors and peripherals. This flexibility is crucial in today's interconnected world, allowing developers to design scalable systems that can accommodate future upgrades and enhancements.

Moreover, the microcontroller incorporates onboard memory, including RAM and Flash memory, ensuring ample storage for application codes and operational data. The flexibility in memory allocation allows developers to optimize their applications, balancing memory usage with processing speed.

In summary, the Texas Instruments MSC1211 microcontroller stands out for its high-resolution ADC, low power consumption, integrated DSP capabilities, and flexible communication options. These features make it an exceptional choice for applications in diverse fields such as medical devices, industrial automation, and portable measurement systems, ensuring precision and efficiency in performance.
