Product details
Overview
MSP430F439IPNR from Texas Instruments is an ultralow-power 16-bit RISC mixed-signal microcontroller featuring 60KB+256B flash, 2KB RAM, integrated 12-bit ADC, dual 16-bit timers (Timer_A3 and Timer_B3), USART with UART/SPI modes, on-chip LCD driver for up to 128 segments, and single-channel DMA - deployed in battery-powered sensor interfaces and portable metering systems.
For engineers reviewing the MSP430F439IPNR datasheet, MSP430F439IPNR pinout, MSP430F439IPNR application, or MSP430F439IPNR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.8–3.6 V supply range, <6 µs wake-up from LPM4, 300 µA active current at 1 MHz/2.2 V, integrated SVS/brownout detection, and QFP-80 package compatibility with legacy MSP430F43x designs.
Technical Context
The MSP430F439IPNR implements a 16-bit RISC CPU with constant generators and seven addressing modes, enabling single-cycle register operations and high code efficiency. Its FLL+ clock system supports ACLK (32.768 kHz crystal or HF source), MCLK (CPU clock), and SMCLK (peripheral clock), with DCO stabilization in under 6 µs.
Peripherals are memory-mapped and accessible via all CPU instructions. The device integrates a 12-bit SAR ADC with internal reference and autoscan, Comparator_A for slope ADC and voltage monitoring, and a dedicated LCD controller supporting static/2–4-MUX displays - all operating from a shared analog supply (AVCC/AVSS) and digitally isolated domains (DVCC1/DVCC2, DVSS1/DVSS2).

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the MSP430F439IPNR?
The MSP430F439IPNR does not specify a maximum system clock frequency in its datasheet; instead, it guarantees reliable operation up to 8 MHz via its FLL+ module when driven by a 32.768 kHz crystal. The DCO stabilizes to programmable multiples of ACLK, and the CPU executes instructions at 125 ns per cycle - consistent with a nominal 8 MHz MCLK. Actual sustained frequency depends on supply voltage and temperature conditions per SLAS713 Section 5.1.
Does the MSP430F439IPNR support JTAG debugging?
Yes, the MSP430F439IPNR supports full-featured JTAG debugging via dedicated pins TCK, TMS, TDI/TCLK, and TDO/TDI on the 80-pin QFP package. These pins enable boundary-scan testing, flash programming, and real-time emulation using TI's MSP-FET or compatible tools. JTAG access remains available even when the BSL is locked, provided the fuse has not been blown.
How many LCD segments can the MSP430F439IPNR drive, and what mux configurations are supported?
The MSP430F439IPNR drives up to 128 segments using its integrated LCD controller, supporting static, 2-MUX, 3-MUX, and 4-MUX configurations. This is achieved through four common outputs (COM0–COM3) and 32 segment outputs (S0–S31 plus S10–S23), with additional segment lines mapped to P2.7, P2.6, and P3.7–P3.3. The controller operates from AVCC/AVSS and includes programmable contrast control.
What are the key differences between MSP430F439IPNR and MSP430F438IPNR?
The MSP430F439IPNR and MSP430F438IPNR share identical pinout, peripherals, and package (80-pin QFP), differing only in flash memory size: MSP430F439IPNR has 60KB+256B flash, while MSP430F438IPNR has 48KB+256B flash. Both feature 2KB RAM, same ADC, timers, USART, LCD driver, and power specs. Firmware compiled for one will run on the other if it fits within the smaller flash footprint.
Is the MSP430F439IPNR RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the MSP430F439IPNR is RoHS compliant and lead-free, meeting EU Directive 2011/65/EU requirements. The "P" in the part number denotes lead-free packaging, and the "N" indicates plastic QFP construction. TI's official packaging information confirms Pb-free matte tin lead finish and halogen-free molding compound for this PN variant.
