Product details
Overview
MSP430F5324IRGCR from Texas Instruments is an ultra-low-power 16-bit RISC microcontroller with 64 KB flash, 6 KB RAM, integrated 3.3-V LDO, 12-bit ADC (10 external + 2 internal channels), three 16-bit timers (TA0/TA1/TA2 and TB0), two USCIs (UART/IrDA/SPI/I²C), RTC, and hardware multiplier - designed for battery-powered sensor systems and data loggers operating at 1.8–3.6 V.
For engineers reviewing the MSP430F5324IRGCR datasheet, MSP430F5324IRGCR pinout, MSP430F5324IRGCR application, or MSP430F5324IRGCR equivalent, key selection criteria include standby current (1.9 µA in LPM3), wake-up time (3.5 µs), 47 GPIO count, VQFN-64 package footprint, and compatibility with TI's MSP430F5xx toolchain and energy-aware IDE.
Technical Context
The MSP430F5324IRGCR implements a unified clock system with FLL-based frequency stabilization, dual crystal support (XT1 for 32-kHz RTC, XT2 up to 32 MHz), and low-power internal sources (VLO, REFO). Its power management includes programmable core voltage regulation via integrated LDO and brownout detection with hysteresis.
Peripherals are memory-mapped and interrupt-driven: ADC12_A supports autoscan across 12 channels with internal reference; USCI modules provide independent UART/IrDA/SPI and I²C operation; Timer_B0 features 7 capture/compare registers with shadowing for glitch-free PWM; and DMA enables zero-CPU-overhead data transfers between peripherals and memory.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Core Architecture | 16-bit RISC CPUXV2 with constant generators and 32-bit hardware multiplier - enables compact, deterministic code for real-time sensor processing. |
| Memory | 64 KB flash + 6 KB RAM (8 KB + 2 KB configuration per family) - sufficient for firmware with protocol stacks and buffered logging. |
| Power Modes | LPM3 standby: 1.9 µA at 3 V; LPM4 off mode: 1.1 µA; LPM4.5 shutdown: 0.18 µA - extends coin-cell battery life to multi-year operation. |

| Timers | TA0 (5 CC), TA1 (3 CC), TA2 (3 CC), TB0 (7 CC with shadow registers) - enables concurrent PWM generation, input capture, and RTC/calendar functions. |
| Communication | USCI_A0/A1: UART/IrDA/SPI; USCI_B0/B1: I²C/SPI - allows dual-interface connectivity (e.g., UART to host + I²C to sensors) with independent clock domains. |
| I/O Count | 47 general-purpose I/O pins with configurable drive strength, Schmitt-trigger inputs, and port mapping control - matches compact PCB layouts in space-constrained nodes. |

FAQ
What is the maximum system clock frequency supported by the MSP430F5324IRGCR?
The MSP430F5324IRGCR supports up to 25 MHz system clock frequency via its FLL-controlled DCO or external high-frequency crystal (XT2) up to 32 MHz. This enables real-time signal processing and high-speed communication while maintaining ultra-low-power efficiency in active mode - a key capability confirmed in Section 8.19 (DCO Frequency) and Section 8.16 (XT2) of the SLAS678G datasheet for the MSP430F5324IRGCR.
Does the MSP430F5324IRGCR include an integrated voltage regulator?
Yes, the MSP430F5324IRGCR integrates a fully programmable LDO that generates a regulated 3.3-V core supply from a 3.3–3.6-V input on LDOI. This eliminates the need for an external regulator in most designs and is documented in Section 8.44 (LDO-PWR) and functional block diagrams for the MSP430F5324IRGCR in the SLAS678G datasheet.
How many analog input channels does the ADC on the MSP430F5324IRGCR support?
The MSP430F5324IRGCR features a 12-bit ADC (ADC12_A) with 10 external analog input channels plus 2 internal channels (temperature sensor and VREF), totaling 12 usable channels. This configuration is explicitly specified in Table 6-1 (Device Comparison) and Section 8.35–8.39 of the SLAS678G datasheet for the MSP430F5324IRGCR.
What debug interface does the MSP430F5324IRGCR use?
The MSP430F5324IRGCR uses the 2-wire Spy-Bi-Wire (SBW) interface via the RST/NMI/SBWTDIO pin for programming and debugging - compatible with TI's MSP-FET and IAR/Code Composer Studio tools. This is confirmed in Section 7.2 (Signal Descriptions) and Section 8.46 (JTAG and Spy-Bi-Wire Interface) of the SLAS678G datasheet for the MSP430F5324IRGCR.
Is the MSP430F5324IRGCR pin-compatible with other devices in the MSP430F532x family?
Yes, the MSP430F5324IRGCR shares identical pinout and package (VQFN-64, RGC) with MSP430F5326IRGCR and MSP430F5328IRGCR - enabling direct substitution in existing designs.
