Product details
Overview
MSP430F2416TPN from Texas Instruments is an ultra-low-power 16-bit RISC microcontroller with 92KB+256B flash, 4KB RAM, 12-bit ADC, dual USCI_A/USCI_B modules (UART/I²C/SPI), 16-bit Timer_A and Timer_B, comparator, and supply supervision. It operates from 1.8 V to 3.6 V and supports sub-1 µs wake-up from standby - ideal for battery-powered sensor nodes and portable medical meters.
For engineers reviewing the MSP430F2416TPN datasheet, MSP430F2416TPN pinout, MSP430F2416TPN application, or MSP430F2416TPN equivalent, key selection criteria include its LQFP-80 package, absence of DAC and DMA (vs. F261x), calibrated DCO accuracy over temperature, ADC12 timing constraints at 7 MHz, and JTAG-based debug capability in production firmware.
Technical Context
The MSP430F2416TPN implements a 16-bit CPU with constant generators and three low-power modes optimized for extended battery life. Its clock system integrates a calibrated DCO (±3% over 0°C–85°C), LFXT1 crystal oscillator (32.768 kHz), and VLO (12 kHz), enabling precise timing control without external crystals in many applications.
Peripherals are tightly coupled to the memory-mapped architecture: ADC12 uses internal reference and autoscan across 8 channels; USCI_A0/A1 support UART with auto-baud detection and IrDA; USCI_B0/B1 handle I²C and synchronous SPI; Timer_B7 provides seven capture/compare registers with shadowing for glitch-free PWM generation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Core Architecture | 16-bit RISC CPU with 62.5-ns instruction cycle; enables deterministic real-time response in sensor sampling loops. |
| Flash / RAM | 92KB + 256B flash, 4KB RAM; sufficient for standalone firmware with ADC data buffering and communication stacks. |
| ADC12 Resolution | 12-bit SAR with sample-and-hold and autoscan; supports simultaneous multi-channel acquisition for analog sensor arrays. |
| USCI Modules | Four USCI peripherals: two UART/IrDA/SPI (USCI_A0/A1) and two I²C/SPI (USCI_B0/B1); enables concurrent wired communication protocols. |
| Power Modes | Active (365 µA @ 1 MHz, 2.2 V), Standby (0.5 µA), Off w/RAM retention (0.1 µA); critical for >5-year coin-cell operation. |
| Wake-up Time | <1 µs from standby mode; ensures rapid reaction to external interrupts (e.g., motion or voltage threshold events). |
| Operating Voltage | 1.8 V to 3.6 V; compatible with single Li-ion, two alkaline, or regulated 3.3 V supplies without level-shifting. |
Pinout & Package
The MSP430F2416TPN is housed in an 80-pin LQFP (PN) package, 12 mm × 12 mm body size, with exposed thermal pad (non-magnetic option available for MRI-compatible designs). Pin functions are fully defined per TI SLAS541M Figure 7-1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| RST/NMI | Reset / Non-maskable interrupt input | Hardware reset initiation and high-priority fault handling; internal pull-up enables single-button reset design. |
| TCK/TMS/TDI/TDO | JTAG debug interface | Full boundary-scan and in-circuit emulation support; no external programming voltage required. |
| P1.0–P1.7, P2.0–P2.7, etc. | Configurable GPIO with interrupt | All 48 I/O pins support edge-triggered interrupts and peripheral multiplexing (e.g., TA0 on P1.1, CAOUT on P1.0). |
| XIN/XOUT | LFXT1 crystal oscillator terminals | Supports 32.768 kHz watch crystal for RTC or low-jitter clock source; internal load caps eliminate external components. |
| AVCC/AVSS | Analog power supply rails | Dedicated analog domain supply improves ADC SNR; requires separate filtering from DVCC/DVSS. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Calibrated DCO | On-chip digitally controlled oscillator factory-trimmed to ±3% over 0°C–85°C; eliminates need for external crystal in cost-sensitive timing applications. |
| ADC12 Autoscan | Hardware-accelerated sequential conversion across up to 8 analog inputs without CPU intervention; reduces firmware overhead in multi-sensor systems. |
| USCI UART Auto-Baud | Automatic detection of incoming UART bit rate using leading-edge timing; simplifies interoperability with legacy or variable-speed hosts. |
| Supply Supervision | Programmable SVS/SVM thresholds with interrupt output (SVSOUT on P5.7); enables graceful shutdown or brownout recovery without external supervisor IC. |
| Bootloader (BSL) | ROM-resident UART-based bootloader with security fuse; allows field firmware updates via serial interface without JTAG hardware. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MSP430F2417TPN | Same package and peripherals, but 8KB RAM (vs. 4KB); no DAC/DMA. | Better suited for applications requiring larger buffer space (e.g., FFT-based spectral analysis or protocol stack memory). | Select when firmware complexity demands >4KB RAM but DAC/DMA remain unnecessary. |
| MSP430F2616TPN | Identical flash/RAM, but adds 2× 12-bit DACs and 3-channel DMA; same LQFP-80 package. | Enables closed-loop analog control (e.g., programmable current sources) and zero-CPU ADC-to-memory transfers. | Choose only if DAC or DMA functionality is explicitly required; otherwise, MSP430F2416TPN offers lower cost and identical core performance. |
Compared with MSP430F2417TPN, the MSP430F2416TPN trades RAM headroom for lower BOM cost; compared with MSP430F2616TPN, it omits DAC/DMA to reduce silicon area and power in pure sensing applications - making it optimal for fixed-function, resource-constrained embedded nodes.

FAQ
What is the maximum ADC12 clock frequency supported by the MSP430F2416TPN?
The MSP430F2416TPN supports a maximum ADC12CLK of 7 MHz, as specified in Section 8.46 of the SLAS541M datasheet. This allows conversion times as low as 1.86 µs per sample with oversampling, enabling high-speed analog monitoring while maintaining linearity within ±1 LSB INL.
Does the MSP430F2416TPN include DAC or DMA peripherals?
No, the MSP430F2416TPN does not include DAC12 or DMA modules. These features are exclusive to the MSP430F261x series. The MSP430F2416TPN retains all other peripherals - including ADC12, USCI_A/B, Timer_A/B, and comparator - making it functionally identical to the F261x except for those two omissions.
What package type and pin count does the MSP430F2416TPN use?
The MSP430F2416TPN uses an 80-pin LQFP (PN) package with a 12 mm × 12 mm body size. Pinout is documented in Figure 7-1 of the SLAS541M datasheet, and the device is also offered in 64-pin LQFP (PM) and 113-pin nFBGA (ZCA) variants under different part numbers.
How does the MSP430F2416TPN achieve ultra-low-power operation?
The MSP430F2416TPN achieves ultra-low-power operation through five low-power modes, a 16-bit RISC CPU with constant generators, and intelligent peripheral gating. Active mode draws just 365 µA at 1 MHz/2.2 V; standby mode consumes 0.5 µA using the VLO oscillator; and off mode retains RAM at 0.1 µA - all verified per Section 8.6 of the datasheet.
Can the MSP430F2416TPN be programmed without external hardware?
Yes, the MSP430F2416TPN includes a ROM-based bootloader (BSL) accessible via UART, allowing firmware updates without JTAG. Serial onboard programming requires no external programming voltage, and code protection is enforced by a one-time security fuse - enabling secure field upgrades in deployed devices.
