RF430F5978EVM User Guide

This manual describes the software installation, driver installation, the modules and peripherals of
RF430F5978EVM. Each description presents the module or peripheral in a general sense. Not all features
and functions of all modules or peripherals may be present on all devices. In addition, modules or
peripherals may differ in their exact implementation between device families, or may not be fully
implemented on an individual device or device family.

Pin functions, internal signal connections, and operational parameters differ from device to device. The
user should consult the device-specific data sheet for these details.
