A closer look at your new
LaunchPad Development Kit
Featured microcontroller: MSP430FR6989
This LaunchPad is great for...
- Battery-operated LCD applications enabled by the ultra-low-power and integrated LCD driver on the
MSP430FR6989
- Remote sensing and datalogging with up to 128 kB of embedded FRAM
- Rotation detection utilizing the Extended Scan Interface, a dual analog front-end (AFE)

EnergyTrace++ Technology
EnergyTrace technology implements a unique method for measuring MCU current consumption.
EnergyTrace uses a DC-DC solution to measure the time density of charge pulses. On the
MSP430FR6989 device, built in hardware enables EnergyTrace+[CPU States]+[Peripheral States]. The
EnergyTrace technology window allows users to view power data and compare power consumption!
This makes optimizing the power consumption of an application easier than ever before!

1. Connecting to the computer
Connect the LaunchPad using the included USB cable to a computer. A green power LED should
illuminate. For proper operation, drivers are needed. It is recommended to get drivers by installing an IDE
such as TI's CCS or IAR EW430. Drivers are also available at ti.com/MSPdrivers.
2. Running the Out-of-box Demo
When connected to your computer, the LaunchPad will power up and display a greeting message on the
LCD. Press and hold the S1 and S2 buttons simultaneously to select a new mode.
Stopwatch Mode
This mode provides a simple stopwatch application. It supports split time, where
the display freezes while the stopwatch continues running in the background.
Timer Stopped:
S1 - Start time
S2 - Reset time
Timer Running:
S1 - Stop time
S2 - Split time (lap time)
Temperature Mode
This mode provides a simple thermometer application. Using the on-chip
temperature sensor, the temperature is displayed on the LCD.
S1 - Pause current temperature
S2 - Toggle temperature between F/C
