Product details
Overview
MSP430F5310IRGCR from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit ultra-low-power mixed-signal microcontroller featuring 32 KB Flash, 6 KB RAM, dual USCI modules (UART/IrDA/SPI/I²C), 10-bit ADC with 12 channels (10 external + 2 internal), RTC with alarm, and four 16-bit timers (TA0/TA1/TA2/TB0). It operates from 1.8 V to 3.6 V and targets battery-powered sensor systems and portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the MSP430F5310IRGCR datasheet, MSP430F5310IRGCR pinout, MSP430F5310IRGCR application, or MSP430F5310IRGCR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 47 I/O count in 64-pin VQFN, LPM3 current of 1.9 µA at 2.2 V, sub-5-µs wake-up time, integrated LDO, and dual-USCI flexibility for concurrent serial protocols in space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The MSP430F5310IRGCR implements a 16-bit RISC CPUXV2 core with constant generators and hardware multiplier supporting 32-bit operations. Its Unified Clock System (UCS) integrates FLL, VLO, REFO, XT1 (32 kHz), and XT2 (up to 32 MHz), enabling precise clock domain management across active and low-power modes.
Power management includes programmable LDO output (VCORE), supply voltage supervisor (SVM/SVS), brownout reset, and five low-power modes (LPM0–LPM4.5). The port mapping controller on Port 4 allows dynamic remapping of USCI signals, though simultaneous use of all USCI functions is constrained by pin availability in the 64-pin RGC package.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Core Architecture | 16-bit RISC CPUXV2 with constant generators and 32-bit hardware multiplier - enables efficient C code execution and real-time math in sensor fusion or motor control loops. |
| Memory | 32 KB Flash / 6 KB RAM - sufficient for standalone firmware with bootloader, sensor drivers, and communication stacks without external memory. |
| ADC | 10-bit SAR ADC, 200 kSPS, 12 input channels (10 external + 2 internal) - supports multi-sensor analog acquisition with window comparator for threshold-triggered wake-up. |
| Timers | Four 16-bit timers: TA0 (5 CC), TA1 (3 CC), TA2 (3 CC), TB0 (7 CC) - provides independent PWM generation, capture timing, and RTC backup with alarm interrupt capability. |
| USCI Modules | Two USCI peripherals: USCI_A0/A1 (UART/IrDA/SPI), USCI_B0/B1 (I²C/SPI) - enables concurrent wired communication (e.g., UART debug + I²C sensor bus) with automatic baud-rate detection. |
| Low-Power Performance | LPM3 current = 1.9 µA @ 2.2 V (RTC active, full RAM retention); wake-up < 5 µs - extends coin-cell battery life to years in periodic-sampling applications like thermostats or remote meters. |
| Package & I/O | VQFN-64 (9 mm × 9 mm), 47 GPIO - high pin density supports complex peripheral interfacing while maintaining thermal performance via exposed pad (to be connected to VSS). |
Pinout & Package
Package: VQFN-64 (RGC), 9 mm × 9 mm body size with exposed thermal pad (recommended connection to VSS).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| P1.0/TA0CLK/ACLK | Primary ACLK input / Timer_A0 clock source | Accepts 32-kHz crystal or external clock for real-time clock and low-frequency timer operation; critical for RTC accuracy and LPM3 stability. |
| P2.6/RTCCLK/DMAE0 | RTC clock input / DMA trigger | Provides dedicated clock path to RTC module; also serves as DMA event trigger for autonomous data transfers during low-power operation. |
| P4.0–P4.4/USCI1 signals | USCI_B1/USCI_A1 configurable pins | Port-mapped I²C (SCL/SDA) and UART (TXD/RXD) - requires software configuration via PMAP; enables flexible serial interface assignment without PCB redesign. |
| RST/NMI/SBWTDIO | Reset / NMI input / Spy-Bi-Wire debug I/O | Single-pin debug interface supports programming and real-time debugging with minimal footprint; NMI enables edge-triggered wake-up from any low-power mode. |
| VCORE | Internally regulated core voltage output | Supplies CPU and digital logic at programmable voltage (1.3–1.45 V); decoupling capacitor required - no external load permitted per TI specification. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fully integrated LDO | Programmable VCORE (1.3–1.45 V) reduces external component count and improves power efficiency across supply voltage range (1.8–3.6 V). |
| Dual USCI modules | Independent UART/IrDA/SPI and I²C/SPI interfaces allow concurrent communication with host MCU and multiple sensors without resource contention. |
| Real-time clock with alarm | Hardware RTC runs in LPM3 with crystal or VLO clock; alarm interrupt wakes CPU on calendar/time event - eliminates polling overhead in time-based applications. |
| Port mapping controller (P4) | Dynamic remapping of USCI signals onto Port 4 pins enables flexible PCB layout and firmware-driven interface reconfiguration without hardware change. |
| 3-channel DMA | Autonomous data movement between peripherals (e.g., ADC → RAM, UART TX buffer → USCI) reduces CPU load and extends low-power mode duration. |

FAQ
What is the maximum system clock frequency supported by the MSP430F5310IRGCR?
The MSP430F5310IRGCR supports a maximum system clock (MCLK) frequency of 25 MHz, achieved via the FLL-controlled DCO or external high-frequency crystal (XT2) up to 32 MHz. This enables high-speed computation for real-time control tasks while maintaining compatibility with TI's MSP430F5xx Family User's Guide timing constraints. The MSP430F5310IRGCR datasheet specifies timing parameters for all clock domains under recommended operating conditions.
Does the MSP430F5310IRGCR support crystal oscillators for both low- and high-frequency operation?
Yes, the MSP430F5310IRGCR supports dual crystal oscillator inputs: XT1 accepts 32-kHz watch crystals for RTC and low-frequency timing, while XT2 supports high-frequency crystals up to 32 MHz for system clock generation. Both are fully integrated into the Unified Clock System (UCS) and can be selected dynamically in firmware. The MSP430F5310IRGCR pinout reserves P5.4/XIN and P5.5/XOUT for XT1, and P5.2/XT2IN and P5.3/XT2OUT for XT2.
How many general-purpose I/O pins does the MSP430F5310IRGCR provide in its 64-pin VQFN package?
The MSP430F5310IRGCR provides 47 general-purpose I/O pins in the 64-pin VQFN (RGC) package, as confirmed in the Device Information table and functional block diagrams. These include P1–P6, PU, and PJ ports with configurable functionality. Unused pins (e.g., NC, VCORE) are not counted as GPIO. The MSP430F5310IRGCR's I/O count remains consistent across all RGC-package variants in the F53xx family.
Can the MSP430F5310IRGCR operate from a single 1.8-V supply without external regulators?
Yes, the MSP430F5310IRGCR operates over a supply voltage range of 1.8 V to 3.6 V and includes an integrated LDO that generates the regulated VCORE voltage internally. No external regulator is required for core logic operation. The MSP430F5310IRGCR's LDO supports programmable output levels (1.3–1.45 V) and maintains stable operation down to 1.8 V DVCC, enabling direct connection to Li-ion or coin-cell sources.
Is the MSP430F5310IRGCR pin-compatible with other devices in the MSP430F53xx family?
Yes, the MSP430F5310IRGCR is pin-compatible with MSP430F5309IRGCR and MSP430F5308IRGCR in the 64-pin RGC package - sharing identical pin functions, electrical characteristics, and mechanical dimensions. Differences are limited to Flash size (32 KB vs. 24 KB vs. 16 KB); all three devices use the same footprint, thermal pad layout, and signal assignments. The MSP430F5310IRGCR datasheet confirms this in the Device Comparison table and Package Option Addendum.
