The PMM levels on the F543xA are all set to the default levels specified in the user's guide. This has an important implication on the application. The default PMMCOREVx level of 0, for example, limits the maximum DCO speed to 8 MHz. To operate at higher frequencies, the application must first increase the VCORE voltage and the respective SVS and SVM settings during initialization procedures.
NOTE
The procedure to increment the PMMCOREVx and SVS/SVM levels requires specific steps, documented in the PMM chapter of the MSP430F5xx and MSP430F6xx Family User's Guide. The files msp430x54xA_PMM.h and msp430x54xA_PMM.c in the MSP430F543xA code examples implement this procedure in the SetVCore(level) function. This function should be used to increment or decrement the PMMCOREVx levels.
