1. ES449 Overview
The MSP430F44x Evaluation System (ES449) allows convenient prototyping of low-
power handheld LCD projects. Refer to documentation from Texas Instruments for
detailed information for the MSP430F44x variants.
1.1 Features
The key features of this product are:
• Texas Instruments MSP430F449 flash processor
• Our custom 7 digit 3v 4-mux LCD (SBLCDA2)
• Texas Instruments RS232 interface using the MAX3221
• Adjustable TPS7201 LDO for bench top use
• Single-cell AAA 3.3v power supply based on the TPS60310
• 3.3v CR2032 coin cell supply using the TPS60212
• JTAG programming header
• Bootloader header
• 2 user LEDs
• 2 user switches
• Each MSP port pin exposed at IDC headers
• Large prototyping area
• 2Mbit serial flash (not populated on some early models) for data logging applications
1.2 Frequently Asked Questions
Our website contains up-to-date information on all our products, including Frequently
Asked Questions at the bottom of each product page. Please visit our website to review
the Frequently Asked Questions for this and all our products if you encounter difficulty
not addressed in this manual.
1.3 Laboratory Manual
In addition to this User Guide, we also offer a laboratory manual for this product for
separate purchase. The last chapter of this User Guide is a preview of the Laboratory
Manual. The table of contents and the first chapter of the Laboratory Manual are also
available on the webpage for this product.

1.4 Notation
Throughout SoftBaugh documentation, we follow a standard convention to identify
boards, jumpers, other components, and pins.
1.4.1 Boards, Components and Pins
The following notation is used to identify boards, components, and pins:
Board:Component.Pin
Example:
ES449:J12.5 identifies the bootloader header ground pin on the ES449.
Where obvious from the context, the Board: portion may be omitted. If an entire
component rather than a single pin is being identified, then the .Pin portion is omitted.
1.4.2 Jumpers
Unless otherwise noted, pin 1 on a jumper is always square (observed from
underneath), and the silkscreen designator for the jumper is near pin 1. Where
ambiguity could exist, a small '1' is placed near pin 1. Pins are numbered across the
short axis of the jumper first, and then down the long axis.
Jumper settings are indicated by the following notation:
Jumper.Pin-Pin
Jumper.Open
Example:
J20.1-2
A jumper block is to be placed across pin 1 and pin 2 on J20.
In the special case of two-pin jumpers, such as those used to route power or measure
current, the entire jumper may be treated as a SPST switch, and "opened".
Example:
J18.Open
J18 is left open, with no jumper block. In other sources this is referred to as "hanging"
the jumper.
