2.5 MSP430FR2355 Microcontroller

The MCF8329HSRRYEVM includes a MSP430FR2355 low-power MCU, shown in Figure 2-5, to communicate through I2C with the MCF8329HS-Q1 IC.

To program the MSP430FR2355, an external MSP430 FET programmer must be connected to the Spy-Bi-Wire (SBW) interface connector J5. Many MSP430 LaunchPad™ development kits provide an onboard eZ-FET Debug Probe that can be jumper-wired to the MCF8329HSRRYEVM to flash the firmware into the onboard MSP430FR2355 microcontroller.

Press the Reset (RST) button at any time to restart the MCU program. Two active-low LEDs, D11 and D1, can be used for debug purposes as well.

The 32-pin shunt jumper bridge J9 ties all signals between the microcontroller and MCF8329HS-Q1 IC. These jumpers can be inserted or removed as needed to isolate the microcontroller from the gate driver. This action allows for microcontroller signal debugging or using the MCF8329HSRRYEVM as a standalone gate driver with an external microcontroller.
