MSP430 Software Coding Techniques (Rev. A)

This application report covers software techniques and topics of interest to all MSP430 programmers. The first part of the document discusses the MSP430 standard interrupt-based code flow model, recommended for the vast majority of applications. The next part discusses a handful of techniques that should be considered by any developer that sets out to develop an MSP430 application. Using these methods can greatly reduce debug time and/or provide additional robustness in the field. They include initialization procedures, validation of supply rails before performing voltage-sensitive operations, and use of special functions. Code examples are provided.
