Figure 4. Timer_A, MSP430x11x1 Configuration
Two interrupt vectors are used by the Timer_A module. One individual vector is assigned to capture/compare
block CCR0, and one common interrupt vector is implemented for the timer and the other two capture/compare
blocks. The three interrupt events using the same vector are identified by an individual interrupt vector word.
The interrupt vector word is used to add an offset to the program counter to continue the interrupt handler
software at the corresponding program location. This simplifies the interrupt handler and gives each interrupt
event the same overhead of 5 cycles in the interrupt handler.
UART
Serial communication is implemented by using software and one capture/compare block. The hardware
supports the output of the serial-data stream, bit by bit, with the timing determined by the comparator/timer. The
data input uses the capture feature. The capture flag finds the start of a character, while the compare feature
latches the input-data stream, bit by bit. The software/hardware interface connects the mixed-signal controller
to external devices, systems, or networks.
