Product details
Overview
MSP430F5509IRGZT 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 MSP430F5509IRGZT datasheet, MSP430F5509IRGZT pinout, MSP430F5509IRGZT application, or MSP430F5509IRGZT equivalent, key selection criteria include USB PHY integration, 48-pin VQFN package compatibility, LPM4.5 shutdown current (0.18 µA), real-time clock with alarm, and dual USCI support for simultaneous UART + I²C or SPI interfaces.
Technical Context
The MSP430F5509IRGZT implements a unified clock system with FLL stabilization, programmable LDO core regulation, and flexible port mapping via P4 controller-enabling dynamic reassignment of USCI_A1/USCI_B1 functions to pins P4.0–P4.5. Its USB subsystem includes integrated 3.3-V/1.8-V power rails, USB-PLL, and eight bidirectional endpoints.
It supports up to 25-MHz system clock operation, features three-channel DMA for peripheral-to-memory transfers, and delivers sub-5-µs wake-up from LPM3 standby mode using RTC or comparator events-critical for duty-cycled sensing applications requiring deterministic low-latency response.
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-coded firmware and deterministic real-time execution. |
| Flash / RAM | 24 KB flash + 4 KB + 2 KB RAM - sufficient for USB device stack, sensor drivers, and local data buffering without external memory. |
| USB Interface | Full-speed USB 2.0 with integrated PHY, 3.3-V/1.8-V regulators, and USB-PLL - eliminates need for external transceiver or voltage translators. |
| ADC | 10-bit SAR ADC at 200 ksps with 6 external + 2 internal input channels and window comparator - supports analog sensor acquisition and threshold-triggered wake-up. |
| Low-Power Modes | LPM4.5 draws 0.18 µA at 3 V; LPM3 draws 1.9 µA at 2.2 V with RTC active - extends battery life in multi-year deployments. |
| Timers & Peripherals | Four 16-bit timers (TA0/TA1/TA2/TB0), RTC_A with alarm, two USCI modules (A1/B1), hardware MPY32, and 3-channel DMA - enables complex timing, communication, and signal processing tasks concurrently. |
| I/O Count | 31 GPIO pins in 48-pin VQFN (RGZ) package - provides sufficient routing for USB D+/D−, crystal, sensors, and control signals in compact designs. |
Pinout & Package
VQFN-48 (RGZ) package, 7 mm × 7 mm, 0.5-mm pitch, exposed thermal pad (recommended connection to DVSS).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MSP430F5510IRGZT | 32 KB flash (vs 24 KB), same 48-pin RGZ package, identical peripherals including USB, ADC, timers, and USCI modules. | Supports larger firmware images (e.g., USB CDC + HID composite devices) without changing PCB layout or power design. | Select when firmware size exceeds 24 KB or future-proofing for feature expansion is required. |
| MSP430F5529IPN | 64-pin LQFP package, 64 KB flash, 8 KB RAM, same USB/ADC/timer architecture but adds extra I/O (47 pins) and second ADC module. | Suitable for designs needing more GPIO, dual ADC inputs, or space for external crystal load caps and USB ESD protection. | Choose when board layout accommodates larger package and higher I/O count is needed for multi-sensor aggregation. |
Compared with MSP430F5510IRGZT, the MSP430F5509IRGZT trades 8 KB flash for identical USB functionality and pin compatibility - ideal for cost-optimized, space-constrained USB sensor nodes. Versus MSP430F5529IPN, it offers smaller footprint and lower component count at the expense of I/O and memory scalability.

FAQ
What USB speed and device classes does the MSP430F5509IRGZT support?
The MSP430F5509IRGZT supports full-speed USB 2.0 (12 Mbps) with integrated PHY and supports standard USB device classes including HID, CDC ACM, and MSC via TI's USB stack. It implements eight bidirectional endpoints and handles descriptor requests, enumeration, and suspend/resume autonomously - enabling plug-and-play operation with Windows, macOS, and Linux hosts without custom drivers.
Does the MSP430F5509IRGZT require external crystals for USB operation?
No - the MSP430F5509IRGZT uses its internal USB-PLL locked to the high-frequency XT2 oscillator (up to 32 MHz) for USB timing; an external 4–24 MHz crystal on P5.2/P5.3 is required for PLL reference, but no separate USB-specific crystal is needed. The integrated USB-PLL meets USB full-speed jitter requirements per USB 2.0 specification.
How many ADC channels are accessible on the MSP430F5509IRGZT in the 48-pin RGZ package?
The MSP430F5509IRGZT provides six external analog input channels (A0–A5 on P6.0–P6.5) and two internal sources (VeREF+ and VeREF− on P5.0/P5.1), totaling eight usable ADC inputs. All six external channels are routed to dedicated pins in the 48-pin RGZ package - no multiplexing or sharing with digital I/O is required for basic ADC use.
Can the MSP430F5509IRGZT operate from a single 3.3-V supply without external regulators?
Yes - the MSP430F5509IRGZT integrates a programmable LDO that regulates core voltage (VCORE) from a single 3.3-V DVCC supply. AVCC and VUSB rails are also internally generated from DVCC, eliminating need for external 1.8-V or 3.3-V regulators. Only DVCC, AVCC, DVSS, AVSS, and VBUS (for USB detection) require external connections.
What debug interface does the MSP430F5509IRGZT use, and what hardware is required?
The MSP430F5509IRGZT uses Spy-Bi-Wire (SBW), a two-wire debug interface accessed via RST/NMI/SBWTDIO and TEST/SBWTCK pins. No external debugger chip is needed - TI's MSP-FET or compatible tools connect directly using SBW protocol. This reduces debug footprint versus 4-wire JTAG and supports in-system programming and real-time variable inspection.
