Product details
Overview
CC430F5135IRGZ from Texas Instruments is an ultra-low-power System-on-Chip (SoC) microcontroller integrating a sub-1 GHz RF transceiver core (CC1101), 16-bit MSP430 CPUXV2, 16 KB flash, 2 KB RAM, 12-bit ADC with six external inputs plus internal temperature/battery sensors, two 16-bit timers, AES-128 security accelerator, and dual USCI modules (UART/IrDA/SPI + I²C/SPI). It targets battery-powered wireless sensor nodes in smart metering and industrial telemetry.
For engineers reviewing the CC430F5135IRGZ datasheet, CC430F5135IRGZ pinout, CC430F5135IRGZ application, or CC430F5135IRGZ equivalent, key selection considerations include its 48-pin VQFN package, 30 I/O pins, integrated RF transceiver supporting 300–928 MHz bands, programmable data rates up to 500 kBaud, and ultra-low power consumption (1.0 µA in LPM4, 2.0 µA in LPM3 RTC mode).
Technical Context
The CC430F5135IRGZ implements a tightly coupled SoC architecture where the MSP430 CPUXV2 core directly interfaces with the CC1101-derived RF subsystem via dedicated packet handler and digital RSSI/CCA logic - enabling autonomous radio operation without CPU intervention during receive/transmit bursts. Its unified clock system uses an FLL with selectable reference sources (XT1, RF_XIN, or internal REFO) to synchronize MCU timing and RF modulation clocks.
Power management integrates low-dropout regulators (LDO), supply voltage supervisors (SVS), and brownout reset (BOR) across separate DVCC, AVCC, and AVCC_RF domains - ensuring stable analog RF performance while allowing independent digital domain scaling down to 1.8 V. The 12-bit ADC supports autoscan across six external channels plus internal sensors, with configurable sample-and-hold and internal reference.

Pinout & Package
CC430F5135IRGZ is housed in a 48-pin VQFN (RGZ) package measuring 7 mm × 7 mm with exposed thermal pad. Pin functions follow TI's default mapping for the CC430F513x series, with all secondary digital functions fully mappable via port configuration registers.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

FAQ
What is the maximum RF output power supported by the CC430F5135IRGZ?
The CC430F5135IRGZ supports programmable RF output power up to +12 dBm across all supported frequency bands (300–348 MHz, 389–464 MHz, and 779–928 MHz). This value is specified in the device's electrical characteristics table under "Output Power" and is achievable with proper external matching network design and AVCC_RF supply regulation. The CC430F5135IRGZ maintains this output level while meeting EN 300 220 and FCC Part 15 spectral mask requirements.
Does the CC430F5135IRGZ include an integrated temperature sensor?
Yes, the CC430F5135IRGZ includes an internal temperature sensor connected to the 12-bit ADC - documented as "internal temperature sensor" in the ADC12_A channel listing. It provides factory-calibrated readings usable for ambient temperature monitoring or system thermal compensation without external components. This sensor is accessible via ADC channel A6 or through dedicated register reads in the CC430F5135IRGZ's system module.
Can the CC430F5135IRGZ operate from a single 1.8 V supply?
Yes, the CC430F5135IRGZ operates across a wide supply range of 1.8 V to 3.6 V for both DVCC and AVCC domains. At 1.8 V, it maintains full functionality including 16-MHz CPU operation, RF transceiver operation, and ADC conversions - verified in the "Electrical Characteristics" section of the SLAS554I datasheet. This enables direct compatibility with single-cell lithium-thionyl chloride batteries.
How many general-purpose I/O pins does the CC430F5135IRGZ provide?
The CC430F5135IRGZ provides 30 general-purpose I/O pins in its 48-pin VQFN (RGZ) package. These include P1.x (8 pins), P2.x (8 pins), P3.x (8 pins), P4.x (4 pins), P5.x (2 pins), and PJ.x (3 pins), all configurable with interrupt capability and mappable secondary functions. This count is confirmed in Table 3-1 ("Device Comparison") of the SLAS554I datasheet.
Is the CC430F5135IRGZ pin-compatible with other devices in the CC430F513x family?
Yes, the CC430F5135IRGZ is pin-compatible with CC430F5137IRGZ and CC430F5133IRGZ within the same 48-pin RGZ package. All share identical pin numbering, electrical characteristics, and peripheral mappings - differing only in flash (16 KB vs. 32 KB vs. 8 KB) and RAM (2 KB) sizes. This allows hardware reuse across firmware variants without PCB revision.
