Product details
Overview
MSP430F2617TZQW from Texas Instruments is an ultra-low-power 16-bit RISC microcontroller with 92KB+256B flash, 8KB RAM, dual 12-bit DACs, 12-bit ADC with autoscan, three-channel DMA, and four USCI modules (two UART/IrDA/SPI, two I²C/SPI). It operates from 1.8 V to 3.6 V and supports sub-1 µs wake-up from standby mode - ideal for battery-powered sensor nodes and portable medical devices.
For engineers reviewing the MSP430F2617TZQW datasheet, MSP430F2617TZQW pinout, MSP430F2617TZQW application, or MSP430F2617TZQW equivalent, key selection criteria include its MicroStar Junior™ BGA-113 package, integrated DAC/ADC timing synchronization, DMA-accelerated sensor data acquisition, and support for LIN/UART auto-baud detection in constrained embedded systems.
Technical Context
The MSP430F2617TZQW implements a 16-bit CPU with constant generators and a calibrated DCO enabling <1 µs active-mode wake-up from LPM3/LPM4. Its peripheral set includes Timer_A3 (3 capture/compare), Timer_B7 (7 registers with shadowing), and dual 12-bit DACs with voltage output and synchronous update capability.
It integrates four USCI modules: USCI_A0/A1 support enhanced UART (with automatic baud-rate detection), IrDA, and SPI; USCI_B0/B1 support I²C and SPI. The ADC12 features internal reference, sample-and-hold, and autoscan across up to 8 channels, while the DAC12 subsystem provides two independent 12-bit voltage-output channels with programmable reference selection.
