Product details
Overview
MSP430F5326IZQE from Texas Instruments is an ultra-low-power 16-bit RISC microcontroller with 96 KB flash, 8 KB + 2 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 47 GPIO pins in a MicroStar Junior™ BGA-80 package. It targets battery-powered sensor systems requiring fast wake-up (3.5 µs) and long-term operation on coin cells.
For engineers reviewing the MSP430F5326IZQE datasheet, MSP430F5326IZQE pinout, MSP430F5326IZQE application, or MSP430F5326IZQE equivalent, key selection criteria include its 47-I/O count in ZQE packaging, LPM4.5 shutdown current (0.18 µA), 12-bit ADC autoscan capability, dual USCI support for mixed serial protocols, and compatibility with TI's MSP430F5xx toolchain and firmware libraries.
Technical Context
The MSP430F5326IZQE implements a unified clock system with FLL-based frequency stabilization, dual crystal oscillators (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: Timer_A instances support capture/compare/PWM with up to five registers (TA0), while Timer_B (TB0) provides seven shadow-capable compare registers. The 12-bit ADC operates at 200 ksps with internal reference and sample-and-hold, and Comparator_B offers eight channels with selectable hysteresis and output routing.

The MSP430F5326IZQE supports a maximum system clock frequency of 25 MHz, achieved using the FLL-controlled DCO with XT2 crystal input (up to 32 MHz) or internal reference calibration. This frequency enables real-time processing of sensor data streams while maintaining ultra-low active-mode current (290 µA/MHz at 8 MHz, 3 V).
Does the MSP430F5326IZQE support hardware debugging?
Yes, the MSP430F5326IZQE supports hardware debugging via Spy-Bi-Wire (SBW) using the RST/NMI/SBWTDIO and TEST/SBWTCK pins. This two-wire interface enables full JTAG-like functionality including breakpoints, register inspection, and flash programming without requiring a full 4-pin JTAG header.
How many ADC input channels does the MSP430F5326IZQE have?
The MSP430F5326IZQE integrates a 12-bit ADC12_A module with 12 total input channels: 10 external analog inputs (A0–A9) and 2 internal sources (temperature sensor and VREF+/2). Channel selection is managed through the ADC12MCTLx registers with autoscan enabling sequential conversion without CPU intervention.
What is the purpose of the PU.0 and PU.1 pins on the MSP430F5326IZQE?
The PU.0 and PU.1 pins on the MSP430F5326IZQE are dedicated Port U I/O lines supplied by the LDOO rail, enabling precise analog reference routing or isolated control signaling. They support standard digital functions but are specifically designed for low-noise connections to external references, DAC outputs, or analog switches in mixed-signal designs.
Is the MSP430F5326IZQE RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the MSP430F5326IZQE is RoHS compliant and lead-free, meeting JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 3 (MSL-3) requirements. The MicroStar Junior™ BGA-80 package uses lead-free solder finish and complies with TI's environmental policy for hazardous substance restrictions.
