Product details
Overview
MSP430F2416TZQW 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 - designed for battery-powered sensor nodes and portable medical devices operating from 1.8 V to 3.6 V.
For engineers reviewing the MSP430F2416TZQW datasheet, MSP430F2416TZQW pinout, MSP430F2416TZQW application, or MSP430F2416TZQW equivalent, key selection criteria include LPM4 current (0.1 µA), wake-up time (<1 µs), ADC12 resolution (12-bit, 8-channel), I/O count (48), and MicroStar Junior BGA-113 package compatibility with medical imaging systems requiring nonmagnetic packaging.
Technical Context
The MSP430F2416TZQW implements a 16-bit CPU with constant generators and calibrated DCO enabling sub-1-µs wake-up from LPM4; its peripheral set includes ADC12 with internal reference and autoscan, two independent USCI modules supporting simultaneous UART and I²C, and Timer_B7 with shadow registers for precise PWM generation.
It operates across five low-power modes, integrates SVS/SVM for programmable voltage monitoring, supports JTAG-based emulation and BSL serial programming without external voltage, and excludes DAC12 and DMA - distinguishing it from the MSP430F261x series while sharing identical Timer_A3, Timer_B7, Comp_A+, and USCI architecture.
Key Specifications

FAQ
What is the maximum ADC12 conversion rate supported by the MSP430F2416TZQW?
The MSP430F2416TZQW supports ADC12CLK up to 7 MHz, enabling minimum conversion time of 1.86 µs per sample (12-bit). This allows sustained sampling rates up to ~537 kSPS in single-channel mode, though practical throughput depends on channel count, reference settling, and autoscan overhead. The MSP430F2416TZQW datasheet specifies tCONVERT MIN = 1.86 µs under recommended operating conditions.
Does the MSP430F2416TZQW include DAC or DMA peripherals?
No, the MSP430F2416TZQW does not include DAC12 or DMA modules. These peripherals are exclusive to the MSP430F261x series. The MSP430F2416TZQW retains full Timer_A3, Timer_B7, ADC12, Comp_A+, and USCI functionality - making it ideal for applications needing precision analog capture and communication without digital waveform generation or memory-mapped transfers.
What is the significance of the 'ZQW' suffix in MSP430F2416TZQW?
The 'ZQW' suffix denotes the MicroStar Junior™ BGA-113 package (7 mm × 7 mm), qualified as nonmagnetic for medical imaging applications. Unlike LQFP variants, the MSP430F2416TZQW uses solder-ball interconnects and meets stringent magnetic permeability requirements - critical for deployment near MRI equipment where ferromagnetic materials are prohibited.
Can the MSP430F2416TZQW operate from a single 1.8 V supply?
Yes, the MSP430F2416TZQW is fully specified for operation from 1.8 V to 3.6 V. At 1.8 V, it maintains full functionality including ADC12 (with adjusted reference), USCI communication (at reduced baud rates), and 16-bit Timer_B operation. Active current rises to ~420 µA @ 1 MHz, but LPM4 remains at 0.1 µA - preserving battery longevity in low-voltage energy-harvesting systems.
Is the MSP430F2416TZQW pin-compatible with other MSP430F241x devices in the same package?
Yes, all MSP430F241x devices in the ZQW package - including MSP430F2416TZQW, MSP430F2417TZQW, MSP430F2418TZQW, and MSP430F2419TZQW - share identical pinouts, electrical characteristics, and package dimensions. Firmware and PCB designs are interchangeable across this family; only flash size (92KB/116KB/120KB) and RAM (4KB/8KB) differ between variants.
