Product details
Overview
MSP430F5325IPNR from Texas Instruments is an ultra-low-power 16-bit RISC microcontroller with integrated 3.3-V LDO, 64 KB flash, 6 KB + 2 KB RAM, 63 I/O pins, 12-bit ADC (14 external + 2 internal channels), and dual USCI modules supporting UART/IrDA/SPI/I²C. It operates from 1.8 V to 3.6 V and targets battery-powered sensor systems requiring long runtime and precise analog acquisition.
For engineers reviewing the MSP430F5325IPNR datasheet, MSP430F5325IPNR pinout, MSP430F5325IPNR application, or MSP430F5325IPNR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.1 µA LPM4 shutdown current, 3.5 µs wake-up time, RTC-integrated basic timer, hardware multiplier for 32-bit math, and LQFP-80 package compatibility with F5329/F5327 family members.
Technical Context
The MSP430F5325IPNR implements a unified clock system with FLL-based frequency stabilization, dual crystal oscillators (XT1 up to 32 kHz, 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 organized around three 16-bit Timer_A instances (5/3/3 capture/compare registers), one 16-bit Timer_B (7 shadow registers), DMA controller (3-channel), and comparator_B (12-channel). The device supports simultaneous analog sensing (ADC12_A autoscan) and serial communication (USCI_A0/A1 for UART/IrDA/SPI; USCI_B0/B1 for I²C/SPI) without CPU intervention.

FAQ
What is the maximum system clock frequency supported by the MSP430F5325IPNR?
The MSP430F5325IPNR supports up to 25 MHz system clock frequency via its integrated digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) or external high-frequency crystal (XT2) up to 32 MHz. This enables high-speed computation for real-time signal processing while maintaining ultra-low-power operation through dynamic clock gating and multiple low-power modes.
Does the MSP430F5325IPNR include hardware debugging support?
Yes, the MSP430F5325IPNR includes full JTAG and Spy-Bi-Wire (SBW) debug interfaces accessible via dedicated pins (RST/NMI/SBWTDIO, PJ.0–PJ.3, TEST/SBWTCK). These enable non-intrusive breakpoints, real-time register inspection, flash programming, and low-power mode debugging without requiring additional hardware probes.
How many analog input channels does the ADC12_A module support on the MSP430F5325IPNR?
The ADC12_A module on the MSP430F5325IPNR supports 14 external analog input channels (A0–A13) plus 2 internal channels (temperature sensor and VREF+/VeREF+), totaling 16 selectable inputs. Channel selection is fully programmable, and autoscan mode allows sequential conversion without CPU intervention.
Is the MSP430F5325IPNR pin-compatible with other devices in the F532x family?
Yes, the MSP430F5325IPNR in the LQFP-80 (PN) package shares identical pinout and electrical characteristics with MSP430F5327IPNR and MSP430F5329IPNR. This allows direct PCB reuse across memory variants-64 KB, 96 KB, and 128 KB flash-without layout changes or signal re-routing.
What power supply architecture does the MSP430F5325IPNR use to achieve ultra-low standby current?
The MSP430F5325IPNR achieves 1.9 µA standby (LPM3) and 1.1 µA shutdown (LPM4) current through its integrated low-dropout regulator (LDO), supply voltage supervisor (SVS), and selective peripheral gating. The LDO maintains stable 3.3-V core voltage while SVS monitors VCC and triggers brownout reset-enabling reliable operation down to 1.8 V with minimal quiescent draw.
