MSP430 Current Consumption Estimation
From Texas Instruments Embedded Processors Wiki
How to Estimate the Current Consumption a Given MSP430 Application will Require
There are many configurations for the MSP430 in terms of operating frequency, supply voltage, operating mode, and active peripherals. Because of this only some combinations' current consumption characteristics are enumerated in the device datasheet. For cases that are not listed, estimation is needed to determine the expected consumption.
To estimate the current consumption for the MSP430, the device datasheet lists numbers for each operating mode with certain frequencies and operating voltages. Additionally each peripheral's current consumption is listed separately in it's corresponding section of the datasheet. Adding these values as needed can give a good estimate on current consumption but experimental testing is needed to determine the actual consumption your peripheral configuration will exhibit in the field.
