Hardware FAQs

12. Information memory may not be blank (erased to 0xFF) when the device is delivered from TI.

Customers should erase the information memory before its first use. Main memory of packaged

devices is blank when the device is delivered from TI.

13. The device current increases by approximately 10 ?A when a device in low-power mode is

stopped [using Halt (CCE/CCS) or Esc (C-SPY)] and then the low-power mode is restored [using

Run (CCE/CCS) or Go (C-SPY)]. This behavior appears to happen on all devices except the

MSP430F12x.
