BOARD LAYOUT:
POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT:
MSP430-PG2231 is typically power supplied with (3 ÷ 9) VAC and (5 ÷ 13) VDC.
The programmed board power consumption is about 10 mA with all peripherals enabled.
RESET CIRCUIT:MSP430-PG2231 reset circuit includes MSP430G2231IPW14R pin 10
(RST/NMI/SBWTDIO), JTAG connector pin 11, R11 (33kΩ), R10 (100Ω) and RESET button.
CLOCK CIRCUIT:
Quartz crystal 32.768 kHz is connected to MSP430G2231IPW14R pin 12 (XOUT/P2.7) and pin 13 (XIN/P2.6/TA0.1).

JUMPER DESCRIPTION:
P_INWhen this jumper is closed, the board is power supplied by the standard JTAG pin 2. This is only possible when the consumption of the board is not very high which is typically the case with MSP430 microcontrollers. If this jumper is open the board should be power supplied by another external source. This jumper and P_OUT should always be reversely open/closed, i.e. if P_IN is closed, P_OUT should be open and vice versa. Default state is closed.
P_OUTWhen this jumper is closed, the board is power supplied not by the JTAG but from external source. Then the JTAG has to synchronize with the working voltages which is done through this line. This is especially important when debugging with JTAG. This jumper and P_IN should always be reversely open/closed, i.e. if P_OUT is closed, P_IN should be open and vice versa.
Default state is open.
INPUT/OUTPUT:
Status led (yellow) with name LED1, connected to MSP430G2231IPW14R pin 2 (P1.0/TA0CLK/ACLK).
Status led (green) with name LED2, connected to MSP430G2231IPW14R pin 3 (P1.1/TA0.0).
Power-on LED (red) with name PWR – this LED shows that +3.3V is applied to the board.
User button with name B1 connected to MSP430G2231IPW14R pin 4 (P1.2/TA0.1).
User button with name B2 connected to MSP430G2231IPW14R pin 5 (P1.3).
User button with name RESET connected to MSP430G2231IPW14R pin 10 (RST/NMI/SBWTDIO).
