2 MSP430 USB Silicon

MSP430 MCUs include an on-chip USB module on several subfamilies. Each family's module is exactly the same, and each is compatible with the MSP430 USB Developers Package.

Although bit-banging USB is possible, it cannot be done at full speed, and it is likely to consume much of the processor's capacity. Most USB applications tend to use the on-chip USB module.
