1. CPU Registers
The CPU incorporates sixteen 20-bit registers. R0, R1, R2 and R3 have dedicated functions. R4 to R15 are working registers
for general use.

PC, R0

SP, R1

SR, CG1, R2

CG2, R3

R4 - R15

Six commonly-used constants are generated with the constant generator registers
R2 and R3, without requiring an additional 16-bit word of program code. The
constants are selected with the source-register addressing modes.
R4 to R15, are general-purpose registers. All of these registers can be used as data
registers, address pointers, or index values, and they can be accessed with byte or
word instructions.

MAC, Operand 1: Unsigned Multiply Accumulate

One of the operand one registers for the 16 bit multiplier. Writing operand one to this register selects
Unsigned Multiply Accumulate mode, but does not start the computation.

MACS, Operand 1: Signed Multiply Accumulate

One of the operand one registers for the 16 bit multiplier. Writing operand one to this register selects
Signed Multiply Accumulate mode, but does not start the computation.

ME2, Module Enable Register

MPY, Operand 1: Unsigned Multiply

One of the operand one registers for the 16 bit multiplier. Writing operand one to this register selects
Unsigned Multiply mode, but does not start the computation.

MPYS, Operand 1: Signed Multiply

One of the operand one registers for the 16 bit multiplier. Writing operand one to this register selects
Signed Multiply mode, but does not start the computation.

OAxCTL0, Opamp Control Register 0

OAxCTL1, Opamp Control Register 1

OP2, 16-Bit Multiplier Operand 2

The second operand to supply the hardware multiplier. Writing to this register causes the multiplier to
begin calculating for the last mode selected (last operand 1 register written too).

PxDIR, Port x Direction Registers

Each bit in each PxDIR register selects the direction of the corresponding I/O pin, regardless of the selected
function for the pin. PxDIR bits for I/O pins that are selected for other module functions must be set as
required by the other function.
Bit = 0: The port pin is switched to input direction
Bit = 1: The port pin is switched to output direction

PxIE, Port x Interrupt Enable Registers (Ports 1 and 2)

Each PxIE bit enables the associated PxIFG interrupt flag.
Bit = 0: The interrupt is disabled
Bit = 1: The interrupt is enabled

PxIES, Port x Interrupt Edge Selection Registers (Ports 1 and 2)

Each PxIES bit selects the interrupt edge for the corresponding I/O pin.
Bit = 0: The PxIFGx flag is set with a low-to-high transition
Bit = 1: The PxIFGx flag is set with a high-to-low transition

PxIFG, Port x Interrupt Flag Registers (Ports 1 and 2)

Each PxIFGx bit is the interrupt flag for its corresponding I/O pin and is set when the selected input signal
edge occurs at the pin. All PxIFGx interrupt flags request an interrupt when their corresponding PxIE bit and
the GIE bit are set. Each PxIFG flag must be reset with software. Software can also set each PxIFG flag,
providing a way to generate a software-initiated interrupt.
Bit = 0: No interrupt is pending
Bit = 1: An interrupt is pending

PxIN, Port x Input Registers

Each bit in each PxIN register reflects the value of the input signal at the corresponding I/O pin when the pin
is configured as I/O function.
Bit = 0: The input is low
Bit = 1: The input is high

PxOUT, Port x Output Registers

Each bit in each PxOUT register is the value to be output on the corresponding I/O pin when the pin is
configured as I/O function and output direction.
Bit = 0: The output is low
Bit = 1: The output is high

PxREN, Port x Pull Resistor Enable Registers

In MSP430x47x devices all port pins have a programmable pullup/pulldown resistor. Each bit in each PxREN
register enables or disables the pullup/pulldown resistor of the corresponding I/O pin. The corresponding
bit in the PxOUT register selects if the pin is pulled up or pulled down.
Bit = 0: Pullup/pulldown resistor disabled
Bit = 1: Pullup/pulldown resistor enabled

PxSEL, Port x Function Select Registers

Port pins are oftenmultiplexed with other peripheral module functions. See the device-specific data sheet
to determine pin functions. Each PxSEL bit is used to select the pin function I/O port or peripheral module
function.
Bit = 0: I/O function is selected for the pin
Bit = 1: Peripheral module function is selected for the pin

RESHI, Multiplier Result High Word

Holds the upper word of the multiplication result. If a signed mode was used, than the msb holds the sign
bit of the result.

RESLO, Multiplier Result Low Word

Holds the lower word of the multiplication result.

SUMEXT, Multiplier Sum Extension Register

The sum extension registers contents depend on the multiply operation that was performed. For signed
multiplication (MPYS, MACS), this register contains 0x0000 or 0xffff depending on whether the result was
positive or negative. For MAC mode, this register contains either 0x0001 or 0x0000 depending on whether
the result had a carry or no carry (respectively). For MPY mode, SUMEXT always contains 0x0000.
