Product details
Overview
MSP430F4617IPZR from Texas Instruments is an ultralow-power 16-bit mixed-signal microcontroller featuring 92KB+256B Flash memory, 8KB RAM, a 12-bit ADC with internal reference and autoscan, dual 16-bit timers (Timer_A3 and Timer_B7), integrated LCD driver supporting up to 160 segments, and multiple serial interfaces including USCI_A0 (UART/IrDA/SPI), USCI_B0 (SPI/I²C), and USART1 (UART/SPI). It operates from 1.8 V to 3.6 V and targets portable medical devices and electronic metering applications.
For engineers reviewing the MSP430F4617IPZR datasheet, MSP430F4617IPZR pinout, MSP430F4617IPZR application, or MSP430F4617IPZR equivalent, key selection considerations include its 100-pin TQFP package, 8KB RAM capacity, integrated LCD charge pump, ADC12 module presence, and support for real-time clock functionality via the basic timer.
Technical Context
The MSP430F4617IPZR implements the MSP430x461x family architecture with a 16-bit RISC CPU, constant generators, and five low-power modes optimized for extended battery life. Its FLL+ system enables sub-6 µs wake-up from standby mode using the digitally controlled oscillator (DCO).
It integrates hardware peripherals including three-channel DMA, comparator_A, supply voltage supervisor (SVS) with programmable level detection, brownout protection, and dual power domains (AVCC/DVCC) with strict power-up sequencing requirements (AVCC must not power up before DVCC1/DVCC2).

This module is confirmed present in the MSP430x461x series (not the x461x1 variant), and the MSP430F4617IPZR belongs to the x461x group.
What LCD configuration does the MSP430F4617IPZR support?
The MSP430F4617IPZR integrates the LCD_A module supporting up to 160 segments with 1-, 2-, 3-, or 4-mux configurations. It includes a regulated charge pump for generating VLCD, eliminating external bias supplies. Backplane outputs COM0–COM3 and segment outputs S0–S39 are available across multiple port pins.
Is the MSP430F4617IPZR pin-compatible with other devices in the MSP430x461x family?
Yes, the MSP430F4617IPZR uses the same 100-pin TQFP (PZ) package and identical pin mapping as MSP430F4616IPZR, MSP430F4618IPZR, and MSP430F4619IPZR. All share the same peripheral register layout and I/O function assignment, enabling hardware compatibility across the family for design reuse.
What development tools are supported for the MSP430F4617IPZR?
The MSP430F4617IPZR is supported by Texas Instruments' full ecosystem: MSP-FET430UIF (USB JTAG programmer), MSP-TS430PZ100 (target socket board), and Code Composer Studio IDE.
