Product details
Overview
MSP430F2111IDW from Texas Instruments is an ultra-low-power 16-bit mixed-signal microcontroller featuring 2KB+256B flash memory, 128B RAM, a 16-bit Timer_A with three capture/compare registers, and an on-chip analog comparator for slope A/D conversion. It operates from 1.8 V to 3.6 V and supports active-mode current of 250 μA at 1 MHz and 2.2 V - ideal for battery-powered sensor nodes and portable measurement systems.
For engineers reviewing the MSP430F2111IDW datasheet, MSP430F2111IDW pinout, MSP430F2111IDW application, or MSP430F2111IDW equivalent, key selection criteria include its 20-pin DW (SOWB) package, integrated DCO with ±1% calibration, brownout detection, JTAG-based on-chip emulation, and support for ultra-fast wake-up (<1 μs) from standby mode in energy-constrained embedded designs.
Technical Context
The MSP430F2111IDW implements a 16-bit RISC CPU with constant generators and seven addressing modes, enabling single-cycle register operations and high code efficiency. Its basic clock module integrates a digitally controlled oscillator (DCO), 32-kHz crystal input (XIN/XOUT), and high-frequency crystal support up to 16 MHz - all configurable via BCSCTL registers.
It features two 8-bit I/O ports (P1 and P2) with individually programmable pullup/pulldown resistors, edge-selectable interrupts, and shared functionality including Timer_A signals (TA0–TA2), comparator inputs (CA0–CA7), and JTAG test pins (TCK/TMS/TDI/TDO). The comparator_A+ module enables analog signal compare or slope ADC without external components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Core Architecture | 16-bit RISC CPU with 16 general-purpose registers and 62.5-ns instruction cycle time - enables deterministic real-time control and compact firmware. |
| Memory | 2KB + 256B flash (main + info memory) and 128B RAM - sufficient for standalone sensor firmware with calibration data storage in segment A. |
| Supply Voltage | 1.8 V to 3.6 V - compatible with single-cell Li-ion, alkaline, or coin-cell power sources without external regulation. |
| Active Current | 250 μA at 1 MHz / 2.2 V - allows multi-year operation on small batteries in periodic-sampling applications. |
| Low-Power Modes | LPM4 draws 0.1 μA with RAM retention - preserves state during extended sleep while minimizing quiescent drain. |
| Wake-Up Time | <1 μs from LPM3/LPM4 - ensures rapid response to external events like sensor triggers or RF wake signals. |
| Comparator | Comparator_A+ with 8-channel analog mux (CA0–CA7) and CAOUT - enables precision slope ADC or battery voltage monitoring without external op-amps. |

The MSP430F2111IDW supports a maximum system clock (MCLK) frequency of 16 MHz when VCC ≥ 3.3 V, with factory-calibrated DCO settings for 1 MHz, 8 MHz, 12 MHz, and 16 MHz. At 2.7 V, the maximum is 12 MHz, and at 1.8 V, it is limited to 6 MHz - all values specified under recommended operating conditions in the SLAS439F datasheet.
Does the MSP430F2111IDW support in-system programming without external hardware?
Yes, the MSP430F2111IDW includes a UART-based bootstrap loader (BSL) that enables in-system programming via P1.1 (TXD) and P2.2 (RXD) using only a serial interface. No JTAG debugger is required for basic firmware updates, though the BSL must be enabled and protected by a user-defined password per SLAU319 guidelines.
What package type does the MSP430F2111IDW use, and is it RoHS-compliant?
The MSP430F2111IDW uses the 20-pin Plastic Small-Outline Wide Body (SOWB) package, designated by the DW suffix. It is RoHS-compliant, lead-free, and qualified for industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), with JEDEC-standard reflow profile compatibility per J-STD-020.
Can the MSP430F2111IDW operate from a single 1.8 V supply?
Yes, the MSP430F2111IDW is fully specified to operate from 1.8 V to 3.6 V. At 1.8 V, it delivers up to 6 MHz MCLK performance and maintains full functionality including flash programming (with minimum 2.2 V during write/erase), comparator operation, and all low-power modes - making it suitable for single-cell lithium or alkaline battery systems.
How many I/O pins does the MSP430F2111IDW provide, and what analog functions do they support?
The MSP430F2111IDW provides 16 general-purpose I/O pins across Ports P1 and P2, each configurable as digital input/output or analog function. These support Timer_A signals (TA0–TA2), comparator inputs (CA0–CA7), crystal oscillator (XIN/XOUT), and JTAG test signals (TCK/TMS/TDI/TDO) - with up to eight analog-capable pins usable simultaneously for mixed-signal tasks.
