The MSP-EXP430F5529LP is an USB LaunchPad evaluation kit for the MSP430F5529 USB microcontroller. It's an easy way to start developing on the MSP430, with an onboard emulation for programming and debugging, as well as buttons and LEDs for simple user interface. The MSP430F5529 is a 16bit microcontroller with 128KB flash, 8KB RAM, up to 25MHz CPU speed, integrated USB 2.0 PHY, 12bit analogue to digital converter (ADC), timers, serial communication (UART, I2C, SPI) and more. The MSP430 ultra low power microcontrollers consists of several devices featuring different sets of peripherals targeted for various applications. The MSP-EXP430F5529LP LaunchPad target device can be used with a power source other than USB. However, this should be done carefully to ensure proper system behaviour. External power can be supplied by many sources, most commonly a direct power supply or through a battery BoosterPack.
