The Hall Effect: If a conductor has a current in it, and a magnetic field is applied perpendicular to the direction of the current, a voltage (the Hall voltage) is generated in a direction perpendicular to both the current and the magnetic field.

Thus,I2=1.2mAandthevalueorR2canbecalculatedsince:

R2=VR2/I2=1.6V/1.2mA=1.33×103=1330Ω

Instead of the register containing the data as in register addressing, the register contains the memory address of the data. Thus, by loading the register with different memory locations, different data is operated on by the instruction.

The 5-bit code whose binary value defines how often the fDCO+1 frequency is used within a period of 32 DCOCLK cycles to modulate and adjust the DCO frequency. During the remaining clock cycles (32-MODx) the fDCO frequency is used. When DCOx = 7, the highest frequency has been selected and modulation is not possible.

Oneotherfeatureofthe MSP430isthatthereis a“failsafe”mechanism builtintotheclocksystem.
