Product details
Overview
MSP430F5324IZQER 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), two USCI modules (UART/IrDA/SPI/I²C), four 16-bit timers (TA0/TA1/TA2/TB0), RTC, hardware multiplier, and 47 GPIO pins - designed for battery-powered sensor systems and data loggers requiring sub-2 µA standby current.
For engineers reviewing the MSP430F5324IZQER datasheet, MSP430F5324IZQER pinout, MSP430F5324IZQER application, or MSP430F5324IZQER equivalent, key selection criteria include LPM3 current (1.9 µA at 3 V), wake-up time (3.5 µs), ADC resolution and channel count, timer architecture, USCI interface flexibility, and MicroStar Junior BGA (80-pin, 5 mm × 5 mm) package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The MSP430F5324IZQER implements a digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) with FLL stabilization, supports dual crystal sources (XT1 for 32-kHz RTC, XT2 up to 32 MHz), and integrates a unified clock system with programmable ACLK/SMCLK/MCLK dividers. Its power management includes an on-chip LDO with configurable core voltage, SVM/SVS monitoring, and brownout reset.
Peripherals are memory-mapped and interrupt-driven: the 12-bit ADC12_A supports autoscan across 12 channels with internal reference and sample-and-hold; Timer_B0 provides seven capture/compare registers with shadowing; USCI_A0/A1 support enhanced UART with auto-baud detection and IrDA, while USCI_B0/B1 support I²C and SPI in master/slave modes.

FAQ
What is the maximum system clock frequency supported by the MSP430F5324IZQER?
The MSP430F5324IZQER supports a maximum system clock (MCLK) frequency of 25 MHz, achieved using the FLL-stabilized DCO or external high-frequency crystal (XT2) up to 32 MHz.

Does the MSP430F5324IZQER support hardware real-time clock functionality with calendar mode?
Yes, the MSP430F5324IZQER includes the RTC_A module supporting calendar mode (year/month/day/hour/minute/second), alarm interrupts, and battery-backed operation when supplied from a backup source. It uses the 32.768-kHz crystal on P5.4/P5.5 and maintains time accuracy during LPM3 with 1.9 µA current draw.
How many universal serial communication interfaces (USCI) does the MSP430F5324IZQER have, and what protocols do they support?
The MSP430F5324IZQER has two USCI_A modules (USCI_A0 and USCI_A1) supporting UART, IrDA, and SPI, and two USCI_B modules (USCI_B0 and USCI_B1) supporting I²C and SPI. This enables concurrent use of UART for host debugging, I²C for sensor communication, and SPI for display or memory interfacing - all without software bit-banging.
What is the ADC configuration of the MSP430F5324IZQER, and does it include internal reference voltage?
The MSP430F5324IZQER features the ADC12_A module: a 12-bit SAR converter with 10 external analog inputs and 2 internal channels (temperature sensor and VREF), 200 ksps max sampling rate, autoscan mode, and integrated 1.5-V/2.0-V/2.5-V internal reference - eliminating need for external voltage references in most precision sensing applications.
Is the MSP430F5324IZQER pin-compatible with other members of the MSP430F532x family in the same package?
Yes, the MSP430F5324IZQER shares identical pinout and electrical characteristics with MSP430F5326IZQER and MSP430F5328IZQER in the MicroStar Junior BGA (ZQE) package. All three support the same 47 GPIO, peripheral mapping, and power domains - enabling drop-in replacement for memory or feature scaling within the same PCB layout.
