Product details
Overview
MSP430F2617TZQWR from Texas Instruments is an ultra-low-power 16-bit RISC microcontroller featuring 92KB+256B flash, 8KB RAM, dual 12-bit DACs, three-channel DMA, 12-bit ADC with autoscan, two 16-bit timers (Timer_A3 and Timer_B7), four USCI modules (dual UART/IrDA/SPI + dual I²C/SPI), and on-chip comparator. It operates from 1.8 V to 3.6 V and targets battery-powered sensor systems and portable medical devices.
For engineers reviewing the MSP430F2617TZQWR datasheet, MSP430F2617TZQWR pinout, MSP430F2617TZQWR application, or MSP430F2617TZQWR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 8KB RAM capacity, MicroStar Junior™ BGA-113 package, DAC12/DMA support (distinguishing it from F241x), wake-up time <1 µs from LPM3/LPM4, and calibrated DCO stability across temperature and supply voltage.
Technical Context
The MSP430F2617TZQWR implements a 16-bit CPU with constant generators and 16-bit registers for optimized code efficiency in ultra-low-power embedded control. Its architecture integrates dual 12-bit DACs with voltage output and synchronization, three-channel DMA for autonomous peripheral data movement, and four USCI modules supporting simultaneous UART, IrDA, SPI, and I²C protocols.
It features a programmable supply voltage supervisor (SVS) with adjustable threshold, brownout detection, and a hardware multiplier for accelerated math operations. The calibrated DCO enables sub-1-µs wake-up from LPM3/LPM4, while the 12-bit ADC supports up to 200 kSPS with internal reference and sample-and-hold - all within a 1.8–3.6 V supply range.

FAQ
What is the package type and pin count of the MSP430F2617TZQWR?
The MSP430F2617TZQWR uses the MicroStar Junior™ BGA-113 package with 113 balls in a 7 mm × 7 mm footprint and 0.5 mm pitch. This nonmagnetic variant is qualified for medical imaging applications and shares pin compatibility with other MSP430F261x ZQW devices. All ZQW-package orderables are currently in Last Time Buy status per TI's Product Lifecycle Notice.
Does the MSP430F2617TZQWR support hardware debugging and programming?
Yes, the MSP430F2617TZQWR includes a full JTAG interface (TCK, TMS, TDI, TDO) for in-circuit emulation, flash programming, and real-time debugging. It also supports Spy-Bi-Wire (2-wire JTAG) and the built-in bootloader (BSL) for UART-based programming without external voltage - enabling field firmware updates via standard serial interface.
How does the MSP430F2617TZQWR differ from the MSP430F2417TZQWR?
The MSP430F2617TZQWR includes dual 12-bit DACs and a three-channel DMA controller, while the MSP430F2417TZQWR omits both modules. All other peripherals - including 92KB flash, 8KB RAM, ADC12, timers, and USCI modules - are functionally identical.
