Hardware

Note that this measurement does not include USB current, which is sourced through the 5V jumper

instead. USB current levels can vary widely, depending on whether the connection is active or suspended,

how much bus activity is happening, how long the cable is, and other factors.

If you are trying to achieve the LPM3 values shown in the F5529 data sheet and are having trouble,

download the F5529 code examples and see MSP430F552x_LPM3_01.c, adjusting the I/O settings for

your application.

2.4 Using an External Power Source

The F5529 LaunchPad target device can be used with a power source other than USB. However, this

should be done carefully to ensure proper system behavior. External power can be supplied by many

sources, most commonly a direct power supply, or through a battery BoosterPack.
