Product details
Overview
MSP430F2122TRTVT from Texas Instruments is an ultra-low-power 16-bit RISC microcontroller featuring 4KB+256B flash, 512B 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 comparator_A+. It operates from 1.8 V to 3.6 V and targets battery-powered sensor nodes and portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the MSP430F2122TRTVT datasheet, MSP430F2122TRTVT pinout, MSP430F2122TRTVT application, or MSP430F2122TRTVT equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, exact pin functions for the 32-pin QFN (RTV) package, low-power mode timing, ADC calibration structure, and validated alternative microcontrollers for migration or second-sourcing.
Technical Context
The MSP430F2122TRTVT implements a digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) with four factory-calibrated frequencies up to 16 MHz (±1%), enabling sub-1 µs wake-up from LPM4 standby mode. Its clock system provides ACLK, SMCLK, and MCLK sourced from internal LF oscillator, 32-kHz crystal, HF crystal/resonator, or external digital clock.
Peripherals are memory-mapped and fully accessible via all CPU instructions. The ADC10 includes autoscan, sample-and-hold, and a data transfer controller (DTC) that autonomously stores conversion results to RAM without CPU intervention. The comparator_A+ supports slope ADC operation and battery voltage supervision.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the MSP430F2122TRTVT?
The MSP430F2122TRTVT supports a maximum system clock (MCLK) of 16 MHz, achieved using the internal digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) with factory calibration to ±1% accuracy at 3 V and 30°C. External crystals up to 16 MHz are also supported via the HF oscillator path, and the DCO can be dynamically reconfigured during runtime for adaptive power/performance tuning.
Does the MSP430F2122TRTVT support LIN bus communication?
Yes, the MSP430F2122TRTVT supports LIN 2.1-compliant communication through its USCI_A0 module, which includes hardware-assisted auto-baudrate detection. This allows the MSP430F2122TRTVT to automatically synchronize to incoming LIN header frames without prior knowledge of bus speed, simplifying implementation in automotive body electronics and industrial control networks.
How much SRAM is available on the MSP430F2122TRTVT, and is it retained in low-power modes?
The MSP430F2122TRTVT includes 512 bytes of on-chip RAM, fully retained in all low-power modes including LPM4 (0.1 µA). This enables uninterrupted data logging, state preservation, and fast wake-up execution without reloading context-critical for real-time sensor fusion and event-triggered response in energy-constrained systems.
What debug interface does the MSP430F2122TRTVT use, and what pins are required?
The MSP430F2122TRTVT uses the Spy-Bi-Wire (SBW) interface, requiring only two pins: RST/NMI/SBWTDIO (Pin 5) and TEST/SBWTCK (Pin 29). This 2-wire interface replaces full 4-pin JTAG, reducing PCB footprint and connector cost while supporting full flash programming, real-time debugging, and breakpoint execution via tools like MSP-FET430UIF.
Can the MSP430F2122TRTVT perform analog-to-digital conversions without CPU involvement?
Yes, the MSP430F2122TRTVT's ADC10 module includes a Data Transfer Controller (DTC) that autonomously moves conversion results from ADC10MEM into user-defined RAM locations without CPU intervention. When configured with autoscan and DTC, the MSP430F2122TRTVT can acquire and store up to 128 sequential samples across multiple channels during LPM3 sleep, resuming only upon completion or interrupt.
