Product details
Overview
MSP430F2416TZCA 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, on-chip comparator, and supply voltage supervisor. It operates from 1.8 V to 3.6 V and targets battery-powered sensor nodes and portable instrumentation requiring sub-µA standby current and <1 µs wake-up.
For engineers reviewing the MSP430F2416TZCA datasheet, MSP430F2416TZCA pinout, MSP430F2416TZCA application, or MSP430F2416TZCA equivalent, key selection criteria include its nFBGA-113 package, absence of DAC12 and DMA (vs. F261x), calibrated DCO for fast wake-up, and support for medical imaging via nonmagnetic packaging options.
Technical Context
The MSP430F2416TZCA implements a 16-bit CPU with constant generators and five low-power modes optimized for extended battery life. Its architecture integrates a 12-bit ADC with internal reference and autoscan, two independent USCI modules supporting UART, I²C, and SPI, and dual 16-bit timers with capture/compare capability.
Unlike the MSP430F261x series, this device omits the DAC12 and DMA modules but retains full Timer_B7 (seven capture/compare registers), Comparator_A+, and all four USCI channels. It uses the same basic clock system with DCO, LFXT1, and VLO oscillators, enabling flexible clock sourcing across operating modes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Core Architecture | 16-bit RISC CPU with 62.5-ns instruction cycle and 16 general-purpose registers |
| Flash / RAM | 92 KB + 256 B flash memory and 4 KB RAM - sufficient for complex sensor firmware with calibration tables and communication stacks |
| ADC12 | 12-bit SAR ADC with 8 input channels, internal reference, sample-and-hold, and autoscan - supports simultaneous multi-sensor acquisition without external muxing |
| Timers | Timer_A3 (3 CC registers) and Timer_B7 (7 CC registers with shadow registers) - enables precise PWM generation, input capture, and real-time scheduling |
| USCI Modules | Two USCI_A (UART/LIN/IrDA/SPI) and two USCI_B (I²C/SPI) - allows concurrent serial protocols (e.g., UART debug + I²C sensor bus + SPI display) |
| Supply Current | Active mode: 365 µA at 1 MHz/2.2 V; Standby (VLO): 0.5 µA; Off (RAM retention): 0.1 µA - enables >10-year coin-cell operation in periodic sensing |
| Wake-up Time | <1 µs from standby to active mode - critical for event-driven systems like tamper detection or interrupt-triggered measurements |
Pinout & Package
The MSP430F2416TZCA is housed in a 113-ball nFBGA package (7 mm × 7 mm) with 48 configurable I/O pins, including dedicated analog inputs, timer capture/compare signals, USCI serial lines, and JTAG debug interface.

| XIN / XOUT | LFXT1 crystal oscillator terminals | Supports 32.768 kHz watch crystal for RTC or low-frequency timing; internal load caps eliminate external components |
| VREF+, VREF−, VeREF+ | ADC reference voltage inputs | Accept internal or external reference; VeREF+ can be sourced from internal bandgap or external DAC output for ratiometric measurement |
| UCA0TXD/UCA0RXD, UCB0SIMO/UCB0SOMI | USCI_A0 and USCI_B0 serial data lines | Dedicated hardware UART/I²C/SPI interfaces - offload CPU from bit-banging and ensure deterministic timing |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ultra-low-power microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MSP430F2417TZCA | Same package and peripherals, but 8 KB RAM instead of 4 KB - no DAC12 or DMA | Better suited for applications requiring larger firmware buffers or multiple communication protocol stacks | Select when additional RAM is needed for complex connectivity (e.g., Modbus RTU + local UI) without DAC or DMA requirements |
| MSP430F2616TZCA | Identical flash/RAM, but adds DAC12 (dual 12-bit voltage-output) and three-channel DMA | Required for closed-loop control (e.g., analog actuator drive) or high-throughput sensor streaming (e.g., audio ADC + processing) | Choose only if DAC or DMA functionality is essential - otherwise MSP430F2416TZCA offers lower cost and identical core performance |
Compared with MSP430F2417TZCA, the MSP430F2416TZCA trades RAM capacity for lower unit cost in fixed-function sensor nodes; compared with MSP430F2616TZCA, it removes DAC/DMA to reduce complexity and power in pure measurement applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the MSP430F2416TZCA?
The MSP430F2416TZCA supports a maximum MCLK frequency of 16 MHz, though typical operation uses the factory-calibrated DCO at up to 12.5 MHz. Its 62.5-ns instruction cycle time enables efficient execution of real-time tasks such as ADC sampling control and serial protocol handling without external clock sources.
Does the MSP430F2416TZCA include a hardware DAC?
No, the MSP430F2416TZCA does not include DAC12 circuitry. This distinguishes it from the MSP430F261x series. The MSP430F2416TZCA retains full Timer_B7, ADC12, and USCI functionality but omits both DAC12 and DMA modules per the family documentation.
What package type is used for the MSP430F2416TZCA?
The MSP430F2416TZCA uses a 113-ball nFBGA package (7 mm × 7 mm) designated "ZCA" in TI's nomenclature. This package supports high I/O density and is offered in a nonmagnetic variant suitable for MRI-compatible medical imaging equipment.
Can the MSP430F2416TZCA operate from a single 1.8-V supply?
Yes, the MSP430F2416TZCA is fully specified for operation from 1.8 V to 3.6 V. At 1.8 V, it maintains full functionality including ADC12 (with reduced reference headroom), USCI modules, and timers, making it ideal for single-cell Li-ion or alkaline-powered systems.
How many USCI modules does the MSP430F2416TZCA support?
The MSP430F2416TZCA supports four USCI modules: USCI_A0, USCI_A1, USCI_B0, and USCI_B1. Each can be independently configured for UART, IrDA, SPI, or I²C, enabling concurrent use of multiple serial protocols - for example, UART for host communication, I²C for sensor interface, and SPI for display driver.
