Product details
Overview
MSP430F5309IRGZT from Texas Instruments is an ultra-low-power 16-bit RISC microcontroller with 24 KB flash, 6 KB RAM, integrated 3.3-V LDO, four 16-bit timers (TA0/TA1/TA2/TB0), dual USCI modules (UART/IrDA/SPI/I²C), 10-bit ADC with window comparator, RTC, and hardware multiplier. It operates from 1.8 V to 3.6 V and targets battery-powered sensor systems and digital timers.
For engineers reviewing the MSP430F5309IRGZT datasheet, MSP430F5309IRGZT pinout, MSP430F5309IRGZT application, or MSP430F5309IRGZT equivalent, this page delivers verified functional specifications, package-confirmed pin roles, real-world use cases, and validated alternative options for low-power embedded design selection.
Technical Context
The MSP430F5309IRGZT 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 five low-power modes-including LPM3 (1.9 µA at 2.2 V) and LPM4.5 (0.18 µA)-enable sub-5-µs wake-up from standby, critical for intermittent sensing.
It features port mapping control on P4 for flexible USCI signal routing, three-channel DMA, and a programmable LDO delivering regulated core voltage. The device integrates comparator_B (8 channels), 10-bit ADC10_A (200 kSPS, 6 external + 2 internal inputs), and RTC_A with alarm capability-enabling autonomous timing and analog monitoring without CPU intervention.

These include P1–P6 ports (with partial availability per package), PU.0/PU.1, and PJ.0–PJ.3. All 31 pins support interrupt capability, Schmitt-trigger inputs, and configurable drive strength. MSP430F5309IRGZT's I/O count balances compact packaging with sufficient peripheral interfacing for sensor hubs and control panels without requiring GPIO expanders.
Is the MSP430F5309IRGZT pin-compatible with other devices in the F53xx family?
Yes, the MSP430F5309IRGZT is pin-compatible with MSP430F5310IRGZT and MSP430F5308IRGZT in the RGZ-48 package - all share identical pin numbering, electrical characteristics, and peripheral signal mapping. This enables direct substitution in existing designs for flash capacity optimization. MSP430F5309IRGZT retains full functionality across USCI, timers, ADC, and RTC, ensuring no layout or firmware changes are required when migrating between these variants.
What development tools are supported for the MSP430F5309IRGZT?
The MSP430F5309IRGZT is supported by TI's MSP430Ware software library, Code Composer Studio IDE, and the MSP-FET programmer/debugger.
