Product details
Overview
MSP430F1122IPW from Texas Instruments is an ultralow-power 16-bit RISC microcontroller with 4KB flash, 256B RAM, 10-bit 200-ksps ADC, Timer_A3 with three capture/compare registers, and serial communication support (UART/SPI only in x12x2 variants). It operates from 1.8 V to 3.6 V and targets battery-powered sensor nodes and portable measurement systems.
For engineers reviewing the MSP430F1122IPW datasheet, MSP430F1122IPW pinout, MSP430F1122IPW application, or MSP430F1122IPW equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, package-specific pin functions, real-world use cases, and validated alternative options for embedded design and sourcing decisions.
Technical Context
The MSP430F1122IPW implements a 16-bit RISC CPU with constant generators and seven addressing modes, enabling single-cycle register operations. Its basic clock module integrates a digitally controlled oscillator (DCO), 32-kHz crystal support, and internal resistors - enabling wake-up from standby mode in under 6 µs.
This device belongs to the MSP430x11x2 family and lacks USART0 hardware; it supports only Timer_A3, ADC10 with internal reference and DTC, and two 8-bit I/O ports (P1: 8 pins, P2: 6 pins). No P3 port or UART/SPI peripherals are present - confirmed by functional block diagram and terminal function tables.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Core Architecture | 16-bit RISC CPU with 16 general-purpose registers and constant generators; enables efficient code execution and low-cycle-count interrupt response. |
| Flash / RAM | 4KB flash + 256B RAM; sufficient for compact firmware with ADC data buffering and timer-based control logic in space-constrained designs. |
| ADC Resolution & Speed | 10-bit SAR ADC with 200 ksps sampling rate and integrated reference; supports real-time analog monitoring without external reference components. |
| Power Modes | Five low-power modes including LPM4 (0.1 µA RAM retention); extends battery life in intermittent-sensing applications like environmental loggers. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.8 V to 3.6 V; compatible with single-cell Li-ion, LiFePO₄, or dual alkaline batteries without regulation overhead. |
| Wake-Up Time | <6 µs from standby mode; enables rapid response to external interrupts (e.g., motion or threshold triggers) while preserving energy efficiency. |
| Timer Peripheral | 16-bit Timer_A3 with three capture/compare registers; supports PWM generation, input capture for pulse-width measurement, and precise interval timing. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 20-pin TSSOP (PW), body size 6.5 mm × 4.4 mm, 0.65 mm pitch. Thermal pad not present. Pin 1 marked via dot or bevel.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 / TEST | JTAG test mode select | Input that enables JTAG debug interface on P1.x pins; must be pulled low during normal operation to avoid unintended test activation. |
| 2 / VCC | Supply voltage | Main power input (1.8–3.6 V); requires local 100 nF ceramic decoupling adjacent to pin for stable core and analog operation. |
| 3 / P2.5/ROSC | DCO resistor input | Analog input for external resistor setting DCO nominal frequency; open-drain compatible, no pull-up required. |
| 4 / VSS | Ground reference | Digital and analog ground return; must be connected to low-impedance PCB ground plane to minimize noise in ADC and timer operation. |
| 5 / XOUT | Crystal oscillator output | Output from internal inverter driving 32-kHz crystal; requires matched load capacitance (typically 12.5 pF) per crystal spec. |
| 6 / XIN | Crystal oscillator input | Input to internal inverter; connects directly to crystal terminal; sensitive to PCB trace length and noise coupling. |
| 7 / RST/NMI | Reset/nonmaskable interrupt | Active-low reset input; also serves as NMI source; internal pull-up ensures reliable startup when external RC network used. |
| 8 / P2.0/ACLK/A0 | Port P2.0 / ACLK output / ADC channel A0 | Multi-function pin: outputs ACLK for peripheral sync, serves as analog input A0, or general I/O; configured via P2SEL register. |
| 9 / P2.1/INCLK/A1 | Port P2.1 / INCLK input / ADC channel A1 | Accepts external clock into Timer_A; also ADC input A1 and digital I/O; INCLK routing enables independent timer clocking. |
| 10 / P2.2/TA0/A2 | Port P2.2 / Timer_A CCI0B / ADC channel A2 | Supports capture of external events on TA0, analog input A2, or GPIO; used for BSL receive in bootloader mode. |
| 11 / P2.3/TA1/A3/VREF− | Port P2.3 / Timer_A CCI1B / ADC channel A3 / VREF− | Provides negative reference for ADC; also supports TA1 capture and general I/O; VREF− connection enables ratiometric measurements. |
| 12 / P2.4/TA2/A4/VREF+ | Port P2.4 / Timer_A CCI2B / ADC channel A4 / VREF+ | Supplies positive ADC reference; configurable as internal 2.5 V or external source; critical for accuracy in precision sensing. |
| 13 / P1.0/TACLK/ADC10CLK | Port P1.0 / Timer_A clock input / ADC conversion clock | Accepts external clock for Timer_A or ADC timing; allows synchronous sampling aligned to system events or external triggers. |
| 14 / P1.1/TA0 | Port P1.1 / Timer_A CCI0A / BSL transmit | Primary capture input for TA0; also transmits BSL serial data; dual-use simplifies programming interface in field-deployed units. |
| 15 / P1.2/TA1 | Port P1.2 / Timer_A CCI1A | Capture input for TA1; supports edge-triggered event logging (e.g., encoder pulses or switch bounce detection). |
| 16 / P1.3/TA2 | Port P1.3 / Timer_A CCI2A | Capture input for TA2; enables third independent timing channel for multi-signal correlation (e.g., phase difference measurement). |
| 17 / P1.4/SMCLK/TCK | Port P1.4 / SMCLK output / JTAG TCK | Outputs sub-main clock for peripheral sync or serves as JTAG test clock; SMCLK routing aids in debugging clock-dependent modules. |
| 18 / P1.5/TA0/TMS | Port P1.5 / Timer_A Out0 / JTAG TMS | Timer_A compare output or JTAG mode select; shared function requires careful pinmux configuration during debug vs. runtime. |
| 19 / P1.6/TA1/TDI/TCLK | Port P1.6 / Timer_A Out1 / JTAG TDI / test clock | Delivers TA1 output or accepts JTAG data; TCLK option supports boundary scan testing without dedicated clock line. |
| 20 / P1.7/TA2/TDO/TDI | Port P1.7 / Timer_A Out2 / JTAG TDO/TDI | Timer output or JTAG data I/O; TDO/TDI selection controlled by JTAG instruction - prevents bus contention in mixed-mode use. |

The MSP430F1122IPW features a 10-bit ADC10 module rated at 200 ksps (kilo-samples per second) under specified conditions - achievable with internal reference and optimized timing. This rate supports oversampling for noise reduction or fast transient capture in sensor applications, and the Data Transfer Controller (DTC) enables automatic storage without CPU intervention.
Does the MSP430F1122IPW include hardware UART or SPI peripherals?
No, the MSP430F1122IPW does not include USART0 or any hardware UART/SPI peripheral. That functionality is exclusive to the MSP430x12x2 family (e.g., MSP430F1222IPW). The MSP430F1122IPW relies on software-based bit-banging or external transceivers for serial communication.
What package type is used for the MSP430F1122IPW?
The MSP430F1122IPW is packaged in a 20-pin plastic TSSOP (Thin Shrink Small Outline Package), designated "PW" in TI's ordering nomenclature. Its dimensions are 6.5 mm × 4.4 mm with 0.65 mm lead pitch, and it includes no thermal pad.
Can the MSP430F1122IPW operate from a single 1.8-V supply?
Yes, the MSP430F1122IPW supports a minimum supply voltage of 1.8 V across its full operating temperature range (−40°C to 85°C), making it compatible with single-cell lithium chemistries and low-voltage energy harvesting systems without boost regulation.
How many I/O pins does the MSP430F1122IPW provide?
The MSP430F1122IPW provides 14 usable digital I/O pins: Port P1 offers 8 programmable bits (P1.0–P1.7), and Port P2 offers 6 bits (P2.0–P2.5). No P3 port is implemented - confirmed by functional block diagram, terminal tables, and family documentation.
