Abstract
By looking at small subprograms that are written to accomplish specific tasks, assembly-language programming is introduced in this chapter. The objective of the chapter is to provide a base of understanding of the formulation of an assembly-language program so that programs can be deciphered, to obtain a feel for what the program is trying to accomplish. The family of microcontrollers is designed specifically for industrial control, instrumentation, and measurement tasks with low-power and extended battery-life applications as prime design objectives. The MSP430F12XX devices have program memory that is Flash memory. The Flash memory—which is made up of a large main memory and a smaller information memory—provides in-system programmability that permits flexible code changes and for remote systems that are battery operated, field upgrades. They have three 8-bit I/Os, a watchdog timer (WDT), and 16-bit PWM timer (TA), a USART communication interface, and analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). Some have no comparators (C), some have brownout reset (BOR), and the ADC varies from slope to SARs.
