Product details
Overview
MSP430F2013QRSATEP from Texas Instruments is an ultra-low-power mixed-signal microcontroller featuring a 16-bit RISC CPU, 2KB flash + 256B information memory, 128B RAM, integrated 16-bit sigma-delta ADC with differential PGA inputs and internal reference, Universal Serial Interface (USI) supporting SPI/I²C, and Timer_A with two capture/compare registers. It operates from 1.8 V to 3.6 V and targets battery-powered sensor front ends and standalone RF sensing nodes.
For engineers reviewing the MSP430F2013QRSATEP datasheet, MSP430F2013QRSATEP pinout, MSP430F2013QRSATEP application, or MSP430F2013QRSATEP equivalent, key selection criteria include its extended temperature range (–40°C to 125°C), radiation-tolerant EP-grade qualification, Spy-Bi-Wire debug interface, ultra-low standby current (0.5 µA), and QFN-16 package with analog/digital supply separation (DVCC/AVCC, DVSS/AVSS).
Technical Context
The MSP430F2013QRSATEP implements a digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) with factory-calibrated frequencies up to 16 MHz (±1%), enabling sub-1 µs wake-up from LPM4. Its basic clock module supports ACLK from 32-kHz crystal or internal VLO, MCLK for CPU, and SMCLK for peripherals - all configurable via BCSCTL1/2/3 and DCOCTL registers.
Peripherals are memory-mapped and fully accessible via standard 16-bit instructions: SD16_A uses dedicated control registers (SD16CTL, SD16CCTL0) and conversion memory (SD16MEM0); USI operates in synchronous mode with programmable clock polarity/phase; Timer_A2 provides dual CCRs with interrupt-capable capture/compare and PWM generation on P1.0–P1.6 pins.

| TEST/SBWTCK | Spy-Bi-Wire test clock input | Dedicated clock for JTAG/SBW programming; tied high during normal operation to disable test mode |
| DVCC / AVCC | Digital and analog power supplies | Separate 1.8–3.6 V rails reduce noise coupling; AVCC must be ≥ DVCC and filtered for ADC accuracy |
| DVSS / AVSS | Digital and analog ground references | Independent ground planes required; QFN thermal pad must connect to DVSS for thermal performance |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ultra-low-power mixed-signal microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MSP430F2003QRSATEP | Same package and core, but 1KB flash, no SD16_A ADC - only 16-bit timer and USI | Lacks integrated sigma-delta ADC; suitable only for digital-only sensing or protocol bridging | Select when analog acquisition is handled externally or not required; lower cost but no on-chip precision conversion |
| MSP430FR2033IPWTR | Ferroelectric RAM (FRAM) instead of flash; 2KB FRAM + 1KB RAM; same peripherals including SD16_A and USI | Superior write endurance (>10¹⁴ cycles) and faster write speed; no erase latency or wear leveling needed | Prefer for high-frequency data logging or firmware updates in field-deployed systems; not radiation-hardened or EP-qualified |
Compared with MSP430F2013QRSATEP, the F2003QRSATEP omits the sigma-delta ADC and reduces flash, limiting analog integration; the FR2033IPWTR replaces flash with FRAM for endurance and speed but lacks defense-grade qualification and extended temperature certification.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the MSP430F2013QRSATEP?
The MSP430F2013QRSATEP supports a maximum MCLK frequency of 16 MHz at VCC ≥3.3 V, with factory-calibrated DCO settings for 1 MHz, 8 MHz, 12 MHz, and 16 MHz. At 1.8 V, the maximum guaranteed frequency is 6 MHz. All timing specifications assume 50% ±10% duty cycle and proper clock configuration via BCSCTL and DCOCTL registers. The MSP430F2013QRSATEP achieves this performance while maintaining ultra-low active-mode current of 220 µA at 1 MHz and 2.2 V.
Does the MSP430F2013QRSATEP include an integrated analog-to-digital converter?
Yes, the MSP430F2013QRSATEP integrates a 16-bit sigma-delta SD16_A ADC with differential programmable-gain amplifier (PGA) inputs, internal 1.2-V reference, and support for up to four analog input channels (A0–A4). The ADC is characterized for performance up to 105°C and supports both single-ended and differential acquisition modes. This capability is confirmed in the device's functional block diagram and electrical characteristics tables in TI SLAS774A, making the MSP430F2013QRSATEP suitable for precision sensor interfacing without external ADC components.
What debug interface does the MSP430F2013QRSATEP support?
The MSP430F2013QRSATEP supports Spy-Bi-Wire (SBW), a two-wire JTAG variant using RST/NMI/SBWTDIO and TEST/SBWTCK pins for programming, emulation, and real-time debugging. It does not support full 4-wire JTAG. SBW enables full-speed execution control, register inspection, and flash memory access without requiring additional pins beyond the reset and test lines. This interface is documented in Section 1.3 of the SLAS774A datasheet and is fully compatible with TI's MSP-FET and LaunchPad development tools for the MSP430F2013QRSATEP.
Is the MSP430F2013QRSATEP qualified for extended temperature operation?
Yes, the MSP430F2013QRSATEP is explicitly rated for operation from –40°C to +125°C and is designated as an Enhanced Product (EP) device. It meets MIL-PRF-38535 Class V requirements, including controlled baseline, single fabrication/assembly/test site, extended product life cycle, and full traceability. The datasheet specifies that crystal oscillator operation is limited to ≤105°C, but all other functions - including flash programming, ADC operation, and low-power modes - are fully characterized across the full –40°C to 125°C range for the MSP430F2013QRSATEP.
What package type and pin count does the MSP430F2013QRSATEP use?
The MSP430F2013QRSATEP uses a 16-pin QFN package (RSA footprint), measuring 4 mm × 4 mm with an exposed thermal pad. This package is confirmed in TI's SLAS774A datasheet Table 1 (Ordering Information) and Figure 1 (Pinout). The RSA package supports fine-pitch PCB layout, efficient thermal dissipation via the bottom pad (to be connected to DVSS), and compatibility with automated SMT assembly. No alternate packages (e.g., SOIC or TSSOP) are offered for the MSP430F2013QRSATEP variant.
