Product details
Overview
MSP430F2617TPNR from Texas Instruments is an ultra-low-power 16-bit RISC microcontroller featuring 92KB+256B flash, 8KB RAM, dual 12-bit DACs, 12-bit ADC with autoscan, three-channel DMA, two 16-bit timers (Timer_A3 and Timer_B7), four USCI modules (dual UART/IrDA/SPI + dual I²C/SPI), and on-chip comparator - deployed in portable sensor systems and battery-powered industrial control nodes.
For engineers reviewing the MSP430F2617TPNR datasheet, MSP430F2617TPNR pinout, MSP430F2617TPNR application, or MSP430F2617TPNR equivalent, key selection criteria include LQFP-64 package compatibility, 8KB RAM capacity for real-time signal buffering, DAC12 synchronization capability, sub-1µs wake-up from LPM3/LPM4, and calibrated DCO operation across –40°C to 85°C.
Technical Context
The MSP430F2617TPNR implements a 16-bit CPU with constant generators and 16-bit registers for optimized code efficiency in measurement applications. Its five low-power modes-including LPM4 (0.1 µA RAM retention) and standby mode with 0.5 µA VLO-enable multi-year battery life in remote sensing nodes.
Peripherals are tightly integrated: ADC12 supports up to 8 channels with internal reference and sample-and-hold; DAC12 provides two synchronized voltage-output channels; Timer_B7 includes shadow registers for glitch-free PWM updates; and USCI_A0/A1 support enhanced UART with automatic baud-rate detection and IrDA encoding/decoding.

FAQ
What is the maximum ADC sampling rate supported by the MSP430F2617TPNR?
The MSP430F2617TPNR ADC12 module supports a maximum fADC12CLK of 7 MHz, enabling up to 200 kSPS in single-channel mode with minimum conversion time of 1.86 µs. This allows high-fidelity acquisition of sensor signals such as thermocouple outputs or strain gauge bridges without external oversampling hardware.
Does the MSP430F2617TPNR support hardware-based cryptographic acceleration?
No, the MSP430F2617TPNR does not include dedicated cryptographic accelerators. It relies on software-based implementations for AES or SHA operations. For secure boot or encrypted communication, external co-processors or TI's later MSP430FR series with FRAM-based security features are recommended instead of MSP430F2617TPNR.
Can the MSP430F2617TPNR operate from a single 1.8 V supply without performance degradation?
Yes, the MSP430F2617TPNR is fully specified for operation from 1.8 V to 3.6 V. At 1.8 V, it maintains full functionality including 12-bit ADC linearity (±1 LSB INL), DAC monotonicity, and 16-MHz DCO operation - verified across –40°C to 85°C per SLAS541M Section 8.3.
How many USCI modules does the MSP430F2617TPNR integrate, and what protocols do they support?
The MSP430F2617TPNR integrates four USCI modules: USCI_A0 and USCI_A1 each support UART, IrDA, and SPI; USCI_B0 and USCI_B1 each support I²C and SPI. This enables concurrent use of UART for debugging, IrDA for medical data transfer, and I²C for sensor hub communication - all without resource conflict in MSP430F2617TPNR.
Is the MSP430F2617TPNR pin-compatible with the MSP430F2616TPNR?
Yes, the MSP430F2617TPNR and MSP430F2616TPNR share identical LQFP-64 pinouts and electrical characteristics. The only differences are RAM size (8 KB vs. 4 KB) and flash content - making MSP430F2617TPNR a drop-in upgrade when additional RAM is required for larger buffers or multitasking firmware.
