Product details
Overview
MSP430F2112TPW 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 GPIO pins - deployed in portable battery-powered sensor nodes and energy-harvesting systems.
For engineers reviewing the MSP430F2112TPW datasheet, MSP430F2112TPW pinout, MSP430F2112TPW application, or MSP430F2112TPW equivalent, key selection criteria include its −40°C to +105°C industrial temperature grade, TSSOP-28 package with Spy-Bi-Wire debug interface, sub-1 µs wake-up from 0.1 µA off-mode, and integrated comparator for slope A/D conversion - all critical for low-duty-cycle embedded sensing designs.
Technical Context
The MSP430F2112TPW implements a 16-bit RISC CPU with seven addressing modes and constant generators for high code efficiency, paired with five software-selectable low-power modes (LPM0–LPM4) and a digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) calibrated to ±1% across four frequencies up to 16 MHz. 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 accessible via all CPU instructions: ADC10 supports autoscan, sample-and-hold, and DTC-driven autonomous data transfer; Comparator_A+ enables battery voltage supervision and analog signal monitoring; USCI modules support simultaneous UART (with LIN auto-baud), IrDA, SPI, and I²C protocols on shared pins with flexible multiplexing.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the MSP430F2112TPW?
The MSP430F2112TPW supports a maximum system clock (MCLK) of 16 MHz, achieved using the internal digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) with factory calibration to ±1% accuracy at four frequencies (1/8/12/16 MHz). External crystal oscillators up to 16 MHz are also supported via XIN/XOUT pins, and the DCO can be tuned using the ROSC pin (P2.5) with an external resistor for custom frequency settings.
Does the MSP430F2112TPW support in-system programming without external hardware?
Yes, the MSP430F2112TPW supports in-system programming via its built-in bootstrap loader (BSL), which operates over UART using pins P1.1 (RX) and P2.2 (TX). The BSL is protected by a user-defined password and enables flash programming without JTAG hardware - ideal for field firmware updates or production line programming using only a UART interface.
How many analog input channels does the ADC10 module support on the MSP430F2112TPW?
The ADC10 module on the MSP430F2112TPW supports eight analog input channels (A0–A7), mapped to P2.0, P2.1, P2.2, P2.3, P2.4, P3.0, P3.6, and P3.7. It includes internal 1.5 V and 2.5 V references, sample-and-hold, autoscan mode, and a data transfer controller (DTC) that autonomously stores conversion results to memory without CPU involvement.
What debug interface does the MSP430F2112TPW use, and how many pins are required?
The MSP430F2112TPW uses the Spy-Bi-Wire (SBW) debug interface, requiring only two pins: TEST/SBWTCK (Pin 1) and RST/NMI/SBWTDIO (Pin 7). This 2-pin interface provides full JTAG-equivalent functionality - including flash programming, real-time debugging, and breakpoint support - reducing PCB routing complexity and test fixture cost compared to standard 4-pin JTAG.
Is the MSP430F2112TPW pin-compatible with other devices in the MSP430F21x2 family?
Yes, the MSP430F2112TPW is pin-compatible with the MSP430F2122TPW and MSP430F2132TPW in the TSSOP-28 (PW) package - sharing identical pin functions, electrical characteristics, and footprint. This allows direct hardware reuse across variants when scaling flash/RAM requirements, provided firmware accommodates memory size differences.
