MSP430G2553 LaunchPad™ Development Kit (MSP

‑EXP430G2ET)

Figure 9. BoosterPack Checker Tool

Figure 10 shows the 20-pin pinout of the connector from the LaunchPad development kit to a BoosterPack

plug-in module.

Software configuration of the pin functions plays a role in compatibility. The LaunchPad development kit

side of the dashed line shows only the applicable function for conforming to the standard. However, each

pin has other functionality that can be configured by the software. See the MSP430G2553 data sheet for

more details on individual pin functions.

20-Pin DIP Socket

The MSP-EXP430G2ET comes with the MSP430G2553 MCU plugged into the DIP target socket.

However, both PDIP14 and PDIP20 packages of the MSP430G2xx entry-level MCUs and the

MSP430F20xx MCUs can be inserted into the DIP socket aligned to pin 1 (see Figure 11). For a complete

list of supported MCUs, see Section 2.9.
