eZ-FET Emulator

The connection between the eZ-FET emulator and the MSP-EXP430F5529 can be opened by removing

the jumpers on JP16. This is necessary only to ensure there is no interaction between the two

sub-systems. The eZ-FET Emulator can program other eZ430 tools such as the eZ430-F2013 target

board as well. A six-pin header on J17 would need be installed on the PCB for this feature.

The USB interface on the eZ-FET emulator also allows for UART communication with a PC host, in

addition to providing power to Experimenter Board when the power switch is set to 'eZ'. The USCI module

in the MSP430F5529 supports the UART protocol that is used to communicate with the TI TUSB3410

device on the eZ-FET emulator for data transfer to the PC.

Dot-Matrix LCD

The EA DOGS102W-6 is a dot-matrix LCD with a resolution of 102x64 pixels. The LCD has a built-in

back-light driver that can be controlled by a PWM signal from the MSP430F5529, pin P7.6. The

MSP430F5529 communicates with the EA DOGS102W-6 via an SPI-like communication protocol. To

supplement the limited set of instructions and functionalities provided by the on-chip LCD driver, an LCD

driver has been developed for the MSP430F5529 to support additional functionalities such as font set and

graphical utilities. More information on the LCD can be obtained from the manufacturer's data sheet.
