Product details
Overview
MSP430F5509IPT from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit ultra-low-power mixed-signal microcontroller with integrated full-speed USB 2.0 PHY, 24 KB flash, 4 KB + 2 KB RAM, 10-bit ADC (6 external + 2 internal channels), two USCI modules (UART/IrDA/SPI/I²C), four 16-bit timers, RTC, hardware multiplier, and DMA - designed for battery-powered sensor systems and USB-connected data loggers.
For engineers reviewing the MSP430F5509IPT datasheet, MSP430F5509IPT pinout, MSP430F5509IPT application, or MSP430F5509IPT equivalent, key selection criteria include USB PHY integration, LPM4.5 shutdown current (0.18 µA), 48-pin LQFP package compatibility, and dual-USCI support for simultaneous UART + I²C or SPI interfaces in portable measurement systems.
Technical Context
The MSP430F5509IPT implements a unified clock system with FLL stabilization, programmable LDO core regulation, and flexible port mapping on P4 to configure USCI signal routing. Its CPUXV2 core executes instructions at up to 25 MHz with constant generators for optimized code density.
USB functionality is fully integrated with dedicated 3.3-V/1.8-V power rails, USB-PLL, and eight bidirectional endpoints - enabling host-class enumeration without external transceivers. The ADC10_A supports window comparator mode and 200 ksps sampling across eight channels with internal references (REFO, VREF+).

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar mixed-signal microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MSP430F5510IPT | 32 KB flash (vs. 24 KB), same 48-pin LQFP package, identical peripheral set including USB, dual USCI, and ADC10_A | Higher flash capacity supports larger firmware images and bootloader + application separation | Select when firmware size exceeds 24 KB or future-proofing for feature expansion is required |
| MSP430F5508IPT | 16 KB flash (vs. 24 KB), otherwise identical package, pinout, and peripheral configuration | Suitable for cost-sensitive designs with smaller firmware footprints and no need for >16 KB code space | Choose for minimal viable product where flash headroom is not critical and BOM cost optimization is prioritized |
Compared with MSP430F5510IPT and MSP430F5508IPT, the MSP430F5509IPT delivers optimal balance of flash capacity (24 KB), USB integration, and 48-pin LQFP footprint - making it ideal for mid-complexity USB sensor nodes requiring reliable firmware update capability without over-provisioning memory.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the MSP430F5509IPT?
The MSP430F5509IPT supports a maximum system clock frequency of 25 MHz, enabled by its digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) and FLL-based clock system. This allows high-speed execution of real-time tasks while maintaining ultra-low power consumption in active mode - delivering 195 µA/MHz at 8 MHz and 3 V during flash execution. The 25-MHz capability ensures sufficient headroom for USB packet processing, ADC sampling, and peripheral coordination.
Does the MSP430F5509IPT include an integrated USB transceiver?
Yes, the MSP430F5509IPT integrates a full-speed USB 2.0 physical layer (PHY), USB-PLL, and dual-voltage power system (3.3 V and 1.8 V). It requires no external USB transceiver - only passive termination (22-Ω series resistors on DP/DM) and proper VBUS detection. The integrated PUR (pull-up resistor) on the D+ line enables automatic USB device enumeration, simplifying hardware design and reducing bill-of-materials cost.
How many ADC input channels does the MSP430F5509IPT support?
The MSP430F5509IPT features the ADC10_A module with eight total input channels: six external analog inputs (A0–A5 on P6.x) and two internal sources (VeREF+ and VeREF− on P5.0/P5.1). It achieves 200 ksps sampling rate with built-in window comparator functionality, enabling threshold-triggered interrupts without CPU intervention - critical for low-power event-driven sensor monitoring.
What low-power modes are available on the MSP430F5509IPT?
The MSP430F5509IPT offers five low-power modes: LPM0–LPM4 plus LPM4.5. LPM4.5 provides the lowest power state at 0.18 µA (3 V), retaining full RAM content and enabling wake-up via RST/NMI or SBW. LPM3 draws 1.9 µA (2.2 V) with RTC, watchdog, and supervisor active. All modes support sub-5-µs wake-up latency, essential for duty-cycled sensor applications where responsiveness and energy efficiency must coexist.
Is the MSP430F5509IPT pin-compatible with other devices in the F55xx family?
Yes, the MSP430F5509IPT in the 48-pin LQFP (PT) package shares identical pinout and electrical characteristics with MSP430F5510IPT, MSP430F5508IPT, MSP430F5504IPT, and MSP430F5500IPT - all of which use the same PT package variant. This enables direct substitution within the same footprint for flash-size scaling (8–32 KB) without PCB redesign, provided peripheral usage aligns with each device's feature set (e.g., dual USCI vs. single USCI).
