Product details
Overview
MSP430F5509IRGZR 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 MSP430F5509IRGZR datasheet, MSP430F5509IRGZR pinout, MSP430F5509IRGZR application, or MSP430F5509IRGZR equivalent, key selection criteria include USB 2.0 host/device capability, sub-2 µA LPM3 current at 3 V, 48-pin VQFN (7 mm × 7 mm) package compatibility, and dual-USCI support for simultaneous UART + I²C or SPI interfaces in compact embedded designs.
Technical Context
The MSP430F5509IRGZR implements a unified clock system with FLL stabilization, programmable LDO core regulation, and flexible port mapping on P4 to route USCI_A1/USCI_B1 functions - enabling configurable peripheral pin assignment within the 48-pin RGZ footprint. Its USB subsystem integrates PHY, 3.3-V/1.8-V power system, and USB-PLL, eliminating external transceivers.
It supports three low-power modes optimized for real-time operation: LPM3 (1.9 µA, RTC active), LPM4 (1.1 µA, full RAM retention), and LPM4.5 (0.18 µA shutdown); wake-up from standby occurs in under 5 µs via multiple interrupt sources including timer, comparator, and USB events.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Core Architecture | 16-bit RISC CPU with constant generators and 25-MHz max system clock - enables efficient C code execution and deterministic real-time response. |
| Flash / RAM | 24 KB flash (in-system programmable) + 4 KB main RAM + 2 KB USB SRAM - supports firmware updates and dual-bank buffering for USB data streaming. |
| USB Interface | Full-speed USB 2.0 (12 Mbps) with integrated PHY, 8 IN/8 OUT endpoints, and dedicated USB-PLL - eliminates need for external USB transceiver or clock source. |
| ADC10_A | 10-bit SAR ADC with 200 ksps sampling rate, 6 external + 2 internal input channels, and window comparator - suitable for multi-sensor analog monitoring without external signal conditioning. |
| Low-Power Modes | LPM3: 1.9 µA @ 3 V (RTC + watchdog + full RAM); LPM4: 1.1 µA @ 3 V; LPM4.5: 0.18 µA - extends coin-cell battery life to years in periodic-sensing applications. |
| Timers & Peripherals | Four 16-bit timers (TA0/TA1/TA2/TB0), three-channel DMA, RTC_A with alarm, and two USCI modules - enables concurrent timekeeping, PWM generation, serial communication, and data movement with minimal CPU load. |
| Supply Range | 1.8 V to 3.6 V operation with integrated LDO - allows direct connection to single Li-ion, 2×AA, or regulated 3.3-V rails without external voltage translation. |
Pinout & Package
VQFN-48 (RGZ) package, 7 mm × 7 mm body, 0.5-mm pitch, exposed thermal pad (recommended connection to DVSS).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| P1.0/TA0CLK/ACLK | Port 1 bit 0 / Timer A0 clock input / Auxiliary clock | Configurable as GPIO, timer clock source, or 32-kHz crystal oscillator output - critical for RTC synchronization and low-frequency timing. |
| P4.0–P4.5 | Port 4 multiplexed USCI signals | Supports USCI_A1 (UART/SPI) and USCI_B1 (I²C/SPI) via port mapping controller - enables dual-protocol serial connectivity on six pins with software-defined function routing. |
| PU.0/DP, PU.1/DM | USB differential data pair | Integrated full-speed USB physical layer interface - requires only 27-Ω series resistors and no external transceiver; PUR pin controls pull-up resistor for device enumeration. |
| RST/NMI/SBWTDIO | Reset / Non-maskable interrupt / Spy-Bi-Wire debug I/O | Single-pin 4-wire JTAG alternative for programming and debugging - reduces debug footprint and supports in-system firmware updates without dedicated debug header. |

The MSP430F5509IRGZR features the ADC10_A module with six external analog inputs (A0–A5 on P6.0–P6.5) and two internal references (VeREF+ and VeREF− on P5.0/P5.1), totaling eight usable channels. It achieves 200 ksps sampling rate with built-in window comparator functionality - allowing threshold-triggered interrupts without CPU polling. This ADC configuration is confirmed in Table 3-1 and Section 1.3 of the SLAS645L datasheet for the MSP430F5509IRGZR.
What low-power modes are available on the MSP430F5509IRGZR and their typical currents?
