Product details
Overview
MSP430F5309IZXH from Texas Instruments is an ultra-low-power 16-bit RISC microcontroller with 24 KB flash, 6 KB RAM, dual USCI modules (UART/IrDA/SPI/I²C), 10-bit ADC with window comparator, RTC, four 16-bit timers, hardware multiplier, and DMA. It operates from 1.8 V to 3.6 V and targets battery-powered sensor systems and portable instrumentation requiring sub-2 µA standby current and <5 µs wake-up.
For engineers reviewing the MSP430F5309IZXH datasheet, MSP430F5309IZXH pinout, MSP430F5309IZXH application, or MSP430F5309IZXH equivalent, key selection criteria include its 80-pin nFBGA package, 47 I/O count, dual-USCI flexibility, RTC alarm capability, and verified 1.9 µA LPM3 current at 2.2 V - critical for long-life embedded sensing designs.
Technical Context
The MSP430F5309IZXH implements a unified clock system (UCS) with FLL stabilization, VLO/REFO internal sources, and support for both 32-kHz XT1 and up to 32-MHz XT2 crystals. Its power management includes an integrated 3.3-V LDO with programmable core voltage regulation and supply supervision with brownout detection.
It features three Timer_A instances (5/3/3 capture/compare registers) and one Timer_B (7 registers), enabling complex PWM generation and input capture. The two USCIs support concurrent UART/IrDA/SPI on USCI_A and SPI/I²C on USCI_B, with port mapping controller enabling flexible signal routing on Port 4.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the MSP430F5309IZXH?
The MSP430F5309IZXH supports a maximum system clock frequency of 25 MHz, achieved via its digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) stabilized by the FLL in the unified clock system. This frequency is fully operational across the specified 1.8 V to 3.6 V supply range and enables real-time processing for sensor fusion and communication protocols without compromising ultra-low-power operation in active mode.
Does the MSP430F5309IZXH support crystal oscillators for precise timing?
Yes, the MSP430F5309IZXH supports two crystal oscillators: a 32.768-kHz watch crystal on P5.4/XIN and P5.5/XOUT for RTC accuracy, and a high-frequency crystal up to 32 MHz on XT2 pins (P5.2/XT2IN and P5.3/XT2OUT). Both are fully integrated into the UCS and can be selected as clock sources for MCLK, SMCLK, or ACLK with automatic fault detection and failover.
How many I/O pins does the MSP430F5309IZXH provide in its nFBGA package?
The MSP430F5309IZXH in the 80-pin nFBGA (ZXH) package provides 47 general-purpose I/O pins, all supporting interrupt capability, Schmitt-trigger inputs, and configurable drive strength. This count is confirmed in the Device Comparison table (Table 3-1) and matches the functional block diagrams for ZXH/ZQE packages - distinct from the 31 I/O count in 48-pin variants.
Can the MSP430F5309IZXH operate from a single 3.0-V coin cell battery?
Yes, the MSP430F5309IZXH operates across 1.8 V to 3.6 V, making it fully compatible with standard 3.0-V coin cells (e.g., CR2032). Its LPM3 current of 1.9 µA at 2.2 V and 2.1 µA at 3.0 V ensures multi-year operation, while the integrated LDO maintains stable 3.3-V core voltage even as battery voltage declines - eliminating need for external regulators.
What debug interface does the MSP430F5309IZXH use, and is external hardware required?
The MSP430F5309IZXH uses the 2-wire Spy-Bi-Wire (SBW) interface via RST/NMI/SBWTDIO and TEST/SBWTCK pins - a subset of JTAG that requires only two physical connections. No external voltage translator or dedicated debugger chip is needed; TI's MSP-FET or compatible tools support full flash programming, breakpoint debugging, and real-time variable inspection directly through these pins.
