Product details
Overview
MSP430F155IRTDT from Texas Instruments is an ultralow-power 16-bit mixed-signal microcontroller featuring 16KB Flash, 512B RAM, dual 12-bit DACs, a 12-bit ADC with autoscan, three-channel DMA, two 16-bit timers (Timer_A3 and Timer_B3), USART0 with UART/SPI/I²C support, and integrated comparator - deployed in portable sensor systems and battery-powered industrial meters.
For engineers reviewing the MSP430F155IRTDT datasheet, MSP430F155IRTDT pinout, MSP430F155IRTDT application, or MSP430F155IRTDT equivalent, key selection criteria include its 64-pin QFN (RTD) package, -40°C to +85°C operating range, 1.8–3.6 V supply, <6 μs wake-up from standby, and absence of USART1 (unlike MSP430F16x/161x variants).
Technical Context
The MSP430F155IRTDT implements a 16-bit RISC CPU with constant generators and seven addressing modes, enabling single-cycle register operations. Its clock system includes DCO, ACLK, SMCLK, and MCLK derived from XT1 (32.768 kHz crystal) and optional XT2 (up to 8 MHz), with programmable voltage supervision and brownout detection.
It integrates peripheral modules directly mapped into memory space: ADC12 with internal reference and sample-and-hold, DAC12 with synchronized dual outputs, and JTAG-based Embedded Emulation Module (EEM) for debugging. Timer_B3 provides three capture/compare registers without shadow registers - distinguishing it from Timer_B7 in higher-series devices.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Core Architecture | 16-bit RISC CPU with 16 general-purpose registers and constant generators; enables high code efficiency and deterministic 125-ns instruction cycle time. |
| Memory | 16KB+256B Flash (main + info memory), 512B RAM; supports in-system programming via JTAG or BSL UART interface on P1.1/P2.2. |
| Power Consumption | Active mode: 330 μA at 1 MHz/2.2 V; Standby: 1.1 μA; Off mode with RAM retention: 0.2 μA - optimized for multi-year battery life in sensing nodes. |
| Analog Peripherals | 12-bit ADC with 8-channel input, internal reference, sample-and-hold, and autoscan; dual 12-bit voltage-output DACs with synchronization capability. |
| Digital Peripherals | Timer_A3 (3 capture/compare), Timer_B3 (3 capture/compare, no shadow registers), USART0 (UART/SPI/I²C), comparator, watchdog, and 3-channel DMA controller. |
| Operating Range | -40°C to +85°C ambient temperature; 1.8 V to 3.6 V supply voltage - suitable for industrial and extended-temperature embedded applications. |
| Package & Pin Count | 64-pin QFN (RTD); 48 GPIO pins with interrupt capability across six I/O ports; dedicated analog supply pins (AVCC/AVSS) isolate noise-sensitive ADC/DAC operation. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 64-pin QFN (RTD), 9 mm × 9 mm, 0.5 mm pitch, exposed thermal pad connected to DVSS.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| RST/NMI | Reset / Nonmaskable Interrupt | Active-low reset input; also serves as NMI source and BSL entry trigger when pulled low during power-up. |
| P1.0/TACLK | Timer_A Clock Input | Configurable external clock source for Timer_A; enables precise timing control independent of system clocks. |
| P2.6/ADC12CLK/DMAE0 | ADC Conversion Clock / DMA Trigger | Provides dedicated clock signal for ADC12 conversions; also acts as external trigger for DMA channel 0. |
| P3.1/SIMO0/SDA | USART0 SPI MOSI / I²C Data | Shared function pin supporting SPI master-out-slave-in or I²C bidirectional data line - requires software-configured mode selection. |
| P6.6/A6/DAC0 | Analog Input / DAC Output | Simultaneous 12-bit DAC output (DAC0) and analog input (A6); enables closed-loop control with shared pin resource. |
| TCK/TMS/TDI/TDO | JTAG Test Interface | Four-pin boundary-scan interface for programming, emulation, and debug; supports TI's MSP-FET430UIF and MSP-GANG430 tools. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Five Low-Power Modes (LPM0–LPM4) | Enables dynamic power scaling: LPM4 draws only 0.2 μA with RAM retention, allowing rapid wake-up (<6 μs) for event-driven sensing. |
| Dual 12-Bit Synchronized DACs | Generates matched analog outputs for differential signaling or simultaneous actuator control without external synchronization circuitry. |
| Integrated Comparator_A | Provides fast threshold detection (e.g., battery voltage monitoring) with direct connection to Timer_A inputs for hardware-triggered responses. |
| Hardware-Based DMA Controller | Three-channel DMA offloads CPU during ADC sampling, UART transfers, or memory-to-memory moves - reducing active-mode duration and total energy per task. |
| Bootloader (BSL) via UART | Enables field firmware updates using only P1.1 (TX) and P2.2 (RX); password-protected access prevents unauthorized reprogramming. |
Applications

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the MSP430F155IRTDT?
The MSP430F155IRTDT operates up to 8 MHz using the internal digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) or external crystals (XT1/XT2). Its 16-bit RISC architecture delivers a 125-ns instruction cycle time at 8 MHz, enabling real-time response in sensor acquisition and control loops. The DCO supports factory-trimmed calibration for ±3% accuracy across voltage and temperature.
Does the MSP430F155IRTDT support I²C communication?
Yes, the MSP430F155IRTDT supports I²C communication through USART0 configured in I²C mode, using P3.1 (SDA) and P3.3 (SCL) pins. This implementation complies with standard-mode (100 kbps) I²C protocol and supports multi-master arbitration. Note that I²C functionality is exclusive to USART0 - the device lacks USART1, which is present in MSP430F16x/161x variants.
How many analog input channels does the MSP430F155IRTDT ADC support?
The MSP430F155IRTDT features a 12-bit ADC12 module with eight selectable analog input channels (A0–A7), accessible via P6.0 through P6.7. It supports internal reference (1.5 V or 2.5 V), sample-and-hold, and autoscan mode - allowing sequential conversion of all enabled channels without CPU intervention, ideal for multi-sensor data acquisition.
Is the MSP430F155IRTDT pin-compatible with other MSP430F15x devices?
Yes, the MSP430F155IRTDT shares identical 64-pin QFN (RTD) packaging and pinout with MSP430F156IRTDT and MSP430F157IRTDT. All F15x variants use the same peripheral mapping, register layout, and interrupt vector table - enabling hardware compatibility and firmware reuse across memory variants without PCB changes.
What debug and programming interfaces are supported by the MSP430F155IRTDT?
The MSP430F155IRTDT supports JTAG-based debugging and programming via TCK/TMS/TDI/TDO pins using tools like MSP-FET430UIF, and in-system flash programming via its UART-based Bootstrap Loader (BSL) on P1.1 and P2.2. Both methods support full memory access, breakpoint setting, and real-time variable inspection through TI's Code Composer Studio and IAR Embedded Workbench IDEs.
