Comparator_A
The primary function of the comparator_A module is to support precision slope analog-to-digital conversions,
battery-voltage supervision, and monitoring of external analog signals.
ADC12 (not implemented in MSP430x43x1 and MSP430x44x1)
The ADC12 module supports fast, 12-bit analog-to-digital conversions. The module implements a 12-bit SAR
core, sample select control, reference generator and a 16 word conversion-and-control buffer. The
conversion-and-control buffer allows up to 16 independent ADC samples to be converted and stored without
any CPU intervention.
Basic Timer1
The Basic Timer1 has two independent 8-bit timers which can be cascaded to form a 16-bit timer/counter. Both
timers can be read and written by software. The Basic Timer1 can be used to generate periodic interrupts and
clock for the LCD module.
LCD driver
The LCD driver generates the segment and common signals required to drive an LCD display. The LCD
controller has dedicated data memory to hold segment drive information. Common and segment signals are
generated as defined by the mode. Static, 2-MUX, 3-MUX, and 4-MUX LCDs are supported by this peripheral.
