Texas Instruments MSP430F2410TRGCT

Overview

MSP430F2410TRGCT from Texas Instruments is an ultra-low-power 16-bit RISC microcontroller featuring 56 KB+256 B flash memory, 4 KB RAM, a 12-bit ADC with 8 channels, two 16-bit timers (Timer_A with 3 capture/compare registers and Timer_B with 7 shadowed registers), four USCI modules (dual UART/IrDA/SPI + dual SPI/I²C), and operation across 1.8 V–3.6 V. It targets battery-powered sensor nodes and portable instrumentation requiring sub-1-µs wake-up and long-term energy efficiency.

For engineers reviewing the MSP430F2410TRGCT datasheet, MSP430F2410TRGCT pinout, MSP430F2410TRGCT application, or MSP430F2410TRGCT equivalent, key selection criteria include its 64-pin QFN (RGC) package, integrated SVS/SVM, programmable brownout detection, on-chip comparator, and dual USCI_A/USCI_B support for concurrent serial protocols in space-constrained industrial sensing designs.

Technical Context

The MSP430F2410TRGCT implements a calibrated DCO enabling <1 µs wake-up from standby mode, with internal clock sources including VLO (12 kHz), LFXT1 (32 kHz crystal), and HFXT2 (up to 16 MHz). Its basic clock module supports automatic fail-safe switching between oscillators and programmable frequency calibration.

It integrates two independent universal serial communication interfaces: USCI_A0/A1 each support enhanced UART (auto-baud detect, IrDA), SPI, and LIN; USCI_B0/B1 each support synchronous SPI and I²C master/slave modes. The ADC12 module includes internal reference, sample-and-hold, and autoscan-fully functional per device family documentation.

FAQ

What is the operating temperature range for the MSP430F2410TRGCT?

The MSP430F2410TRGCT is rated for operation from –40°C to +105°C, qualifying it for industrial and automotive under-hood environments. This extended temperature range is confirmed in TI's SLAS547I datasheet revision December 2012 and applies specifically to the TRGCT (64-pin QFN) variant. All electrical specifications-including flash endurance, ADC accuracy, and timer stability-are guaranteed across this full range.

Does the MSP430F2410TRGCT include an integrated ADC, and what are its key capabilities?

Yes, the MSP430F2410TRGCT integrates a 12-bit successive-approximation ADC (ADC12) with eight input channels (A0–A7), internal reference (1.5 V or 2.5 V), sample-and-hold, and autoscan mode. It supports up to 200 kSPS conversion rate and configurable conversion triggers from timers or software. These capabilities are explicitly documented for the MSP430F2410 in the functional block diagram and Table 3 of SLAS547I.

How many USCI modules does the MSP430F2410TRGCT support, and what protocols do they implement?

The MSP430F2410TRGCT supports four USCI modules: USCI_A0, USCI_A1, USCI_B0, and USCI_B1. USCI_Ax implements UART (with auto-baud detect and IrDA), SPI, and LIN; USCI_Bx implements synchronous SPI and I²C master/slave. This dual-A/dual-B configuration is confirmed in the "Family Members Include" section and functional block diagram for MSP430F24x/MSP430F2410 in SLAS547I.

What package type and pin count does the MSP430F2410TRGCT use?

The MSP430F2410TRGCT uses a 64-pin QFN package (RGC), 9 mm × 9 mm body with 0.5 mm pitch and an exposed thermal pad. Pinout matches the MSP430F24x family as defined in Table 3 ("Terminal Functions, MSP430F24x, MSP430F2410") of SLAS547I. The 'TRGCT' suffix explicitly denotes this RGC packaging variant.

Is the MSP430F2410TRGCT pin-compatible with other devices in the MSP430F24x family?

Yes, the MSP430F2410TRGCT shares identical pinout and package (64-pin RGC) with MSP430F247TRGCT, MSP430F248TRGCT, MSP430F249TRGCT, and their '1' variants (e.g., MSP430F2471TRGCT), as confirmed in Table 1 ("Available Options") and Table 3 of SLAS547I. Functional differences (e.g., flash size, ADC presence) do not affect physical compatibility.
