Product details
Overview
MSP430F5309IPT from Texas Instruments is an ultra-low-power 16-bit RISC microcontroller with 24 KB flash, 6 KB RAM, four 16-bit timers (TA0/TA1/TA2/TB0), dual USCI modules (UART/IrDA/SPI/I²C), 10-bit ADC with window comparator, RTC, hardware multiplier, and 31 GPIOs in a 48-pin LQFP package. It targets battery-powered sensor systems and digital timers requiring sub-2 µA standby current and <5 µs wake-up.
For engineers reviewing the MSP430F5309IPT datasheet, MSP430F5309IPT pinout, MSP430F5309IPT application, or MSP430F5309IPT equivalent, key selection factors include its 31 I/O count in LQFP-48, dual USCI support with port-mapped flexibility on P4, 10-bit ADC with 8-channel analog input capability, and verified 1.9 µA LPM3 current at 2.2 V with RTC active.
Technical Context
The MSP430F5309IPT implements a unified clock system (UCS) with FLL stabilization, VLO and REFO internal sources, and support for 32-kHz XT1 and up to 32-MHz XT2 crystals. Its power management includes an integrated 3.3-V LDO, supply supervision, brownout detection, and five low-power modes (LPM0–LPM4.5).
It features three-channel DMA, programmable drive strength on all GPIOs, port mapping controller for USCI signal routing on P4, and RTC_A module with alarm and calibration capabilities - all operating within a 1.8–3.6 V supply range and optimized for portable measurement applications.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MSP430F5310IPT | 32 KB flash (vs. 24 KB), same 48-pin LQFP package, identical peripheral set including dual USCI and RTC | Preferred where firmware growth headroom or future feature expansion is required | Select when additional flash capacity is needed without changing PCB layout or driver code |
| MSP430F5308IPT | 16 KB flash, otherwise identical pinout, peripherals, and power specs as MSP430F5309IPT | Suitable for cost-sensitive designs with smaller firmware footprint | Choose for fixed-function applications where 16 KB flash suffices and BOM cost reduction is critical |
Compared with MSP430F5310IPT and MSP430F5308IPT, the MSP430F5309IPT delivers optimal balance of flash capacity (24 KB), peripheral richness, and LQFP-48 compatibility - making it ideal for mid-complexity sensor and timer applications where neither minimal nor maximal flash is required.

FAQ
What is the maximum system clock frequency supported by the MSP430F5309IPT?
The MSP430F5309IPT supports a maximum system clock frequency of 25 MHz, achieved via its digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) with FLL stabilization. This frequency is validated across the full 1.8–3.6 V operating range and enables high-speed instruction execution while maintaining ultra-low active-mode current (195 µA/MHz typical at 8 MHz, 3 V). The device also supports external high-frequency crystals up to 32 MHz on XT2.
Does the MSP430F5309IPT support crystal oscillators for real-time clock operation?
Yes, the MSP430F5309IPT supports 32-kHz watch crystals on XT1 (P5.4/XIN and P5.5/XOUT pins) for precise RTC operation. The RTC_A module remains fully functional in LPM3 mode with crystal-based timekeeping, achieving 1.9 µA typical current at 2.2 V. Crystal load capacitance and startup time specifications are defined in Section 5.14 of the SLAS677G datasheet.
How many analog input channels does the 10-bit ADC on the MSP430F5309IPT support?
The MSP430F5309IPT integrates ADC10_A with 8 configurable analog input channels: 6 external (A0–A5 on P6.x/P5.x) and 2 internal (VeREF+ and VeREF− on P5.0/P5.1). This matches the "6 ext, 2 int" configuration specified for 48-pin variants in Table 3-1. Channel selection is software-controlled via ADC10CTL1, and the window comparator operates independently on any selected channel.
Can the USCI modules on the MSP430F5309IPT operate simultaneously in different protocols?
Yes - the MSP430F5309IPT contains two independent USCI modules (USCI_A0/A1 and USCI_B0/B1), each capable of concurrent operation in different modes: e.g., USCI_A0 in UART mode for debug output while USCI_B0 runs I²C to communicate with a temperature sensor. However, on the 48-pin LQFP package, USCI signal availability on P4 is governed by the port mapping controller, and not all secondary functions can be active simultaneously due to pin multiplexing constraints.
What debug interface does the MSP430F5309IPT use, and is external hardware required?
The MSP430F5309IPT uses the 4-pin Spy-Bi-Wire (SBW) interface (PJ.0/TDO, PJ.1/TDI, PJ.2/TMS, PJ.3/TCK, plus RST/NMI and TEST/SBWTCK) for programming and debugging. No external voltage generator is needed - SBW operates at the core supply voltage (1.8–3.6 V) and is compatible with TI's MSP-FET and open-source tools like naken430loader. The interface supports full JTAG functionality in SBW mode, including breakpoints and register inspection.
