Product details
Overview
MSP430F2112IRHBT from Texas Instruments is an ultra-low-power 16-bit RISC microcontroller featuring 2 KB flash, 256 B RAM, a 10-bit 200-ksps ADC with internal reference and DTC, two 16-bit timers (Timer0_A3 with three capture/compare registers, Timer1_A2 with two), USCI_A0 (UART/LIN/IrDA/SPI) and USCI_B0 (SPI/I²C), and up to 24 I/O pins - deployed in portable battery-powered sensor nodes and energy-harvesting endpoints.
For engineers reviewing the MSP430F2112IRHBT datasheet, MSP430F2112IRHBT pinout, MSP430F2112IRHBT application, or MSP430F2112IRHBT equivalent, key selection criteria include active-mode current at 1 MHz (250 µA), standby current (0.7 µA), brownout detection, integrated comparator for slope A/D, and QFN-32 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The MSP430F2112IRHBT implements a digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) calibrated to ±1% across four frequencies (up to 16 MHz), enabling sub-1-µs wake-up from LPM4. Its clock system delivers ACLK, SMCLK, and MCLK from internal LF oscillator, external crystal (32 kHz or HF up to 16 MHz), or resistor-tuned DCO.
Peripherals are memory-mapped and fully accessible via all CPU instructions. The USCI modules support simultaneous UART (with LIN auto-baud), IrDA, SPI, and I²C - with independent interrupt vectors and dedicated data transfer controllers (e.g., ADC10 DTC) to offload CPU during conversion sequences.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Core Architecture | 16-bit RISC CPU with 16 general-purpose registers; 62.5-ns instruction cycle at 16 MHz enables deterministic real-time control loops. |
| Flash / RAM | 2 KB + 256 B flash memory with in-system programmability; 256 B RAM retains state in LPM3/LPM4 - sufficient for lightweight firmware and sensor buffer storage. |
| ADC Performance | 10-bit SAR ADC with 200-ksps sampling rate, internal 1.5 V/2.5 V reference, sample-and-hold, autoscan, and DTC - supports continuous multi-channel acquisition without CPU intervention. |
| Power Modes | Active mode: 250 µA @ 1 MHz, 2.2 V; Standby: 0.7 µA; Off mode (RAM retention): 0.1 µA - optimized for intermittent sensing with long sleep intervals. |
| Timers | Timer0_A3 (3 capture/compare registers) and Timer1_A2 (2 capture/compare registers) support PWM generation, input capture, interval timing, and synchronized event triggering. |
| Communication | USCI_A0 (UART/LIN/IrDA/SPI) and USCI_B0 (SPI/I²C) with independent clock sources, FIFO-like buffering, and configurable interrupts - enables dual-protocol connectivity on shared pins. |
| Supply Range | 1.8 V to 3.6 V operation - compatible with single-cell Li-ion, LiFePO₄, or two-cell alkaline battery systems without external regulation. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 32-pin QFN (RHB), 5 mm × 5 mm, 0.5 mm pitch, exposed thermal pad (connected to DVSS). Pinout validated per TI SLAS578J Rev J, Table 2 and Device Pinout diagram for RHB package.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| RST/NMI/SBWTDIO (Pin 5) | Reset / Nonmaskable Interrupt / Spy-Bi-Wire I/O | Primary reset input; also serves as NMI source and bidirectional debug interface for programming and emulation - requires pullup for reliable startup. |
| P1.0/TACLK/ADC10CLK/CAOUT (Pin 21) | Timer/ADC/Comparator Output | Configurable as timer clock input, ADC conversion clock source, or comparator output - enables synchronized analog-digital timing control. |
| P2.0/ACLK/A0/CA2 (Pin 6) | Low-Frequency Clock / ADC Input / Comparator Input | Provides ACLK source from external 32-kHz crystal or internal oscillator; also functions as ADC channel A0 and comparator input - critical for low-power RTC and sensor monitoring. |
| P3.4/UCA0TXD/UCA0SIMO (Pin 13) | USCI_A0 Transmit / SPI Master Out | Dual-role pin for UART transmit or SPI master data output - simplifies board routing when both protocols are used in sequence. |
| P3.5/UCA0RXD/UCA0SOMI (Pin 14) | USCI_A0 Receive / SPI Master In | Receives UART data or SPI slave output - paired with P3.4 for full-duplex serial communication with minimal pin count. |
| DVCC (Pin 30) / DVSS (Pin 1) | Digital Power Supply / Ground | Separate digital supply and ground pins reduce noise coupling into sensitive analog peripherals like ADC and comparator. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-Low-Power Operation | 0.1 µA off-mode current with RAM retention enables >10-year battery life in coin-cell-powered IoT endpoints. |

| Flexible Clock System | Four factory-calibrated DCO frequencies (1/8/12/16 MHz) and multiple clock sources allow dynamic frequency scaling without external crystals - reducing BOM cost and board area. |
| On-Chip Emulation | Embedded Emulation Module (EEM) supports full-speed debugging and flash programming via Spy-Bi-Wire using only RST and TEST pins - no dedicated JTAG header required. |
| Programmable Security | Bootstrap loader with password protection and security fuse prevents unauthorized code readout or flash modification - essential for firmware IP protection. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MSP430F2122IRHBT | 4 KB flash, 512 B RAM, identical peripheral set and pinout - direct upgrade path for larger firmware or extended data logging. | Supports more complex sensor fusion algorithms and longer buffer histories without external memory. | Select when firmware size exceeds 2 KB or RAM requirements exceed 256 B; same PCB layout and power profile. |
| MSP430G2553IPW28 | 2 KB flash, 256 B RAM, but 28-pin TSSOP package and enhanced USCI (dual UART/I²C/SPI); lacks integrated comparator and has higher active current (270 µA). | Better suited for prototyping or cost-sensitive designs where QFN assembly is impractical and comparator functionality is not required. | Choose for breadboard-friendly development or legacy TSSOP-compatible boards; verify ADC reference stability and comparator absence in design. |
Compared with MSP430F2112IRHBT, the MSP430F2122IRHBT offers scalable memory while preserving identical low-power behavior and pin compatibility, whereas the MSP430G2553IPW28 trades analog integration and QFN footprint for prototyping flexibility and broader communication options - requiring layout and firmware adaptation.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the MSP430F2112IRHBT?
The MSP430F2112IRHBT supports a maximum system clock (MCLK) of 16 MHz, achieved via its factory-calibrated digitally controlled oscillator (DCO). This frequency is stable to ±1% across temperature and voltage when using the internal calibration constants stored in information memory segment A - enabling high-speed computation while maintaining low-power efficiency in active mode.
Does the MSP430F2112IRHBT support hardware UART with automatic baudrate detection?
Yes, the MSP430F2112IRHBT's USCI_A0 module supports enhanced UART with LIN-compliant automatic baudrate detection. This feature allows the MSP430F2112IRHBT to synchronize to incoming serial frames without prior knowledge of the transmitter's baud rate - ideal for interoperability with variable-speed sensors or legacy industrial equipment.
How many analog input channels does the ADC10 module support on the MSP430F2112IRHBT?
The ADC10 module on the MSP430F2112IRHBT supports eight analog input channels (A0 through A7), mapped to P2.0, P2.1, P2.2, P2.3, P2.4, P3.0, P3.6, and P3.7. These channels can be scanned automatically in sequence using the autoscan mode, with conversion results transferred directly to memory via the Data Transfer Controller (DTC) - eliminating CPU overhead during acquisition.
What debug interface does the MSP430F2112IRHBT use, and how many pins are required?
The MSP430F2112IRHBT uses the Spy-Bi-Wire (SBW) debug interface, which requires only two pins: RST/NMI/SBWTDIO (Pin 5) and TEST/SBWTCK (Pin 29). This 2-wire interface provides full JTAG-equivalent functionality - including flash programming, breakpoint setting, and real-time register inspection - enabling compact debug headers and simplified PCB layout.
Is the MSP430F2112IRHBT pin-compatible with other members of the MSP430F21x2 family?
Yes, the MSP430F2112IRHBT is pin-compatible with the MSP430F2122IRHBT and MSP430F2132IRHBT in the same 32-pin QFN (RHB) package. All share identical pin functions, electrical characteristics, and peripheral mappings - allowing drop-in memory upgrades (e.g., from 2 KB to 4 KB flash) without PCB redesign or firmware changes beyond memory allocation.
