Product details
Overview
MSP430F2416TZQWR 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 - deployed in battery-powered sensor nodes and portable medical meters.
For engineers reviewing the MSP430F2416TZQWR datasheet, MSP430F2416TZQWR pinout, MSP430F2416TZQWR application, or MSP430F2416TZQWR equivalent, key selection criteria include LQFP-64 vs. MicroStar Junior BGA (ZQW) package compatibility, absence of DAC12/DMA (vs. F261x), ultra-low active-mode current (365 µA @ 1 MHz), wake-up time <1 µs from standby, and I/O count (48 pins).
Technical Context
The MSP430F2416TZQWR implements a 16-bit CPU with constant generators and a calibrated DCO enabling sub-1-µs wake-up from LPM3/LPM4. Its clock system integrates LFXT1 (32.768 kHz crystal), VLO (12 kHz), and XT2 (up to 16 MHz), with programmable SVS/SVM thresholds for supply monitoring.
Peripherals include ADC12 with 8-channel autoscan and internal reference, two independent USCI modules supporting simultaneous UART/I²C/SPI operation, and Timer_B7 with shadow registers for glitch-free PWM generation - all operating across five low-power modes optimized for extended battery life in measurement applications.

FAQ
What is the package type and ball count for MSP430F2416TZQWR?
MSP430F2416TZQWR uses the MicroStar Junior™ BGA (ZQW) package with 113 balls in a 7 mm × 7 mm body. This high-density package supports compact PCB layouts for space-constrained portable instruments while maintaining thermal performance suitable for industrial ambient conditions.
Does MSP430F2416TZQWR include DAC or DMA peripherals?
No. MSP430F2416TZQWR explicitly excludes DAC12 and DMA modules - confirmed in the family description stating "MSP430F241x devices are identical to MSP430F261x devices, with the exception that the DAC12 and the DMA modules are not implemented." These features are present only in F261x variants.
What is the maximum ADC sampling rate supported by MSP430F2416TZQWR?
The MSP430F2416TZQWR ADC12 supports up to 200 kSPS with fADC12CLK ≤ 7 MHz. Conversion time is 1.86 µs minimum (12-bit, no oversampling), enabling real-time capture of fast transient events in sensor signal chains.
Can MSP430F2416TZQWR operate without an external crystal?
Yes. The MSP430F2416TZQWR includes a factory-calibrated DCO oscillator usable from 1 MHz to 16 MHz, eliminating the need for external crystals in many applications. LFXT1 (32.768 kHz) and VLO (12 kHz) remain available for RTC and ultra-low-power timing when higher accuracy is required.
How many USCI modules does MSP430F2416TZQWR support, and what protocols do they handle?
MSP430F2416TZQWR integrates four USCI modules: USCI_A0 and USCI_A1 support UART, LIN, IrDA, and SPI; USCI_B0 and USCI_B1 support I²C and SPI. This allows concurrent use of UART for host interface, I²C for sensor bus, and SPI for display or memory expansion.
