Product details
Overview
MSP430F5328IZQE from Texas Instruments is an ultra-low-power 16-bit RISC microcontroller with 128 KB flash, 10 KB RAM, 47 GPIO, 12-bit ADC (10 external + 2 internal channels), dual USCI modules (UART/IrDA/SPI/I²C), and integrated LDO. It operates from 1.8 V to 3.6 V and targets battery-powered sensor nodes and portable data loggers requiring sub-2 µA standby current and 3.5 µs wake-up.
For engineers reviewing the MSP430F5328IZQE datasheet, MSP430F5328IZQE pinout, MSP430F5328IZQE application, or MSP430F5328IZQE equivalent, key selection criteria include its MicroStar Junior™ BGA-80 package, 47 I/O count, RTC-enabled low-power modes (LPM3: 1.9 µA @ 3 V), and peripheral set optimized for analog-digital mixed-signal edge sensing.
Technical Context
The MSP430F5328IZQE implements a unified clock system with FLL stabilization, dual crystal support (XT1: 32 kHz, XT2: up to 32 MHz), and three internal sources (VLO, REFO, DCO). Its power management includes programmable core voltage regulation via integrated LDO and brownout detection with hysteresis.
It integrates three 16-bit timers (TA0 with 5 capture/compare registers, TA1/TA2 with 3 each, TB0 with 7), hardware multiplier for 32-bit operations, 3-channel DMA, and comparator B with 8 input channels - all synchronized to the same clock domain and accessible in LPM3 with RTC active.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ultra-low-power mixed-signal microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MSP430F5328IRGC | VQFN-64 (9 mm × 9 mm) vs. ZQE BGA-80; identical peripherals, flash/RAM, and I/O count (47). | Better thermal dissipation and PCB assembly compatibility for prototyping; larger footprint limits ultra-compact designs. | Select IRGC for manual soldering or thermal-heavy use; ZQE preferred for space-constrained, high-volume production. |
| MSP430F5326IZQE | 96 KB flash / 8 KB RAM vs. 128 KB / 10 KB; otherwise identical peripheral set, package, and power specs. | Suitable for firmware with smaller memory footprint; not recommended if bootloader, OTA updates, or large sensor buffers are required. | Choose F5326IZQE only when code size is verified ≤96 KB; F5328IZQE provides headroom for future feature expansion. |
Compared with MSP430F5328IRGC and MSP430F5326IZQE, the MSP430F5328IZQE uniquely balances minimal 5×5 mm BGA footprint, maximum on-chip memory, and full peripheral complement - making it optimal for next-generation compact, long-life IoT endpoints where layout area and firmware scalability are both critical.

FAQ
What is the operating voltage range for the MSP430F5328IZQE?
The MSP430F5328IZQE operates from 1.8 V to 3.6 V. Its integrated LDO allows core voltage (VCORE) to be programmed independently within this range, supporting dynamic voltage scaling to optimize active-mode current. At 3 V, typical active-mode current is 290 µA/MHz during flash execution - confirmed in TI's SLAS678G datasheet Section 8.4.
Does the MSP430F5328IZQE support real-time clock functionality with battery backup?
Yes, the MSP430F5328IZQE includes RTC_A module with calendar mode, alarm, and hold functions. It operates in LPM3 with 32-kHz crystal (XT1) and retains full RAM - drawing only 1.9 µA at 3 V. The RTC continues running during deep sleep and can wake the CPU on scheduled events, as documented in Section 9.9.11 of the datasheet.
How many analog input channels does the MSP430F5328IZQE ADC support?
The MSP430F5328IZQE features ADC12_A with 12 total channels: 10 external analog inputs (A0–A9) and 2 internal sources (temperature sensor and VREF+/2). This configuration is specific to the F5328/F5326/F5324 variants, differing from the 14+2 channel version in F5329/F5327/F5325 devices - per Table 6-1 in SLAS678G.
Is the MSP430F5328IZQE pin-compatible with other members of the F532x family?
No - the MSP430F5328IZQE uses MicroStar Junior™ BGA-80, while F5329/F5327/F5325 use LQFP-80 and F5328IRGC uses VQFN-64. Though functional register maps and peripherals are aligned across the family, physical pinouts differ significantly. Migration requires PCB redesign; see Figures 7-1 through 7-3 for exact package-specific mappings.
What debug interface does the MSP430F5328IZQE support?
The MSP430F5328IZQE supports Spy-Bi-Wire (SBW) via RST/NMI/SBWTDIO and TEST/SBWTCK pins - a 2-wire JTAG variant enabling full in-circuit debugging and flash programming. This interface is compatible with TI's MSP-FET and LaunchPad development tools, and requires no additional pins beyond the reset line, as specified in Section 9.6 of the datasheet.
