Product details
Overview
MSP430F5524IYFFR from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit ultra-low-power mixed-signal microcontroller with integrated USB 2.0 PHY, 64KB flash, 4KB+2KB RAM, 12-bit ADC (12-channel), four 16-bit timers, two USCI modules (UART/IrDA/SPI/I²C), and RTC - designed for battery-powered sensor nodes and USB-connected data loggers operating at 1.8–3.6 V.
For engineers reviewing the MSP430F5524IYFFR datasheet, MSP430F5524IYFFR pinout, MSP430F5524IYFFR application, or MSP430F5524IYFFR equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, DSBGA-64 package mapping, low-power mode timing, USB PHY integration details, and validated alternative MCUs for portable measurement systems requiring USB connectivity and sub-2µA standby current.
Technical Context
The MSP430F5524IYFFR implements a 16-bit RISC CPU with constant generators and a digitally controlled oscillator (DCO), enabling 3.5 µs wakeup from LPM3. Its unified clock system integrates FLL stabilization, VLO, REFO, XT1 (32-kHz), and XT2 (up to 32 MHz) sources.
Power management includes an on-chip LDO with programmable core voltage, supply supervision (SVS/SVM), and brownout reset. The USB subsystem features integrated 3.3-V/1.8-V power rails, USB-PLL, and eight endpoints - all operating without external PHY components.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Core Architecture | 16-bit RISC CPUXV2 with 16-bit registers and hardware multiplier supporting 32-bit operations |
| Flash / RAM | 64 KB flash + 4 KB + 2 KB RAM - sufficient for USB stack, sensor firmware, and RTC-backed data logging |
| ADC Resolution | 12-bit SAR ADC with autoscan, 12 input channels (10 external + 2 internal), 200 ksps max sampling rate |
| USB Interface | Full-speed USB 2.0 compliant with integrated PHY, 3.3-V/1.8-V USB power system, and USB-PLL - no external transceiver required |
| Low-Power Modes | LPM3: 1.9 µA @ 2.2 V (RTC active); LPM4: 1.1 µA @ 3.0 V; LPM4.5: 0.18 µA @ 3.0 V - enables multi-year battery life in sleep-dominated operation |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ultra-low-power USB microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MSP430F5528IRGC | VQFN-64 package (9 mm × 9 mm); identical peripheral set and memory (64KB/4KB+2KB); same 47 I/O count | Better thermal dissipation and reworkability than DSBGA; requires larger PCB footprint and stencil design for QFN | Select when board-level serviceability, thermal margin, or standard reflow compatibility outweigh miniaturization needs. |
| MSP430F5522IRGC | VQFN-64; reduced flash (32 KB) and RAM (4 KB + 2 KB); otherwise identical USB/ADC/timer feature set | Suitable for cost-sensitive, firmware-light applications where full 64KB flash is unused - e.g., fixed-function HID devices | Choose when firmware size remains under 28 KB and BOM cost reduction is prioritized over future firmware scalability. |
Compared with MSP430F5524IYFFR, the MSP430F5528IRGC offers identical functionality in a more manufacturable package, while the MSP430F5522IRGC trades flash capacity for lower unit cost - both retain the same USB PHY, RTC, and low-power architecture critical for portable measurement designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum system clock frequency supported by the MSP430F5524IYFFR?
The MSP430F5524IYFFR supports a maximum system clock frequency of 25 MHz, achieved via the FLL-controlled DCO using high-frequency crystal (XT2) or internal reference sources. This frequency enables real-time USB packet processing and high-speed ADC sampling while maintaining deterministic interrupt latency for time-critical sensor tasks.
Does the MSP430F5524IYFFR include an integrated USB transceiver?
Yes, the MSP430F5524IYFFR integrates a full-speed USB 2.0 PHY with internal termination, biasing, and 3.3-V/1.8-V power regulation - eliminating the need for external USB transceivers, level shifters, or discrete regulators in compliant designs.
How many analog input channels does the 12-bit ADC in the MSP430F5524IYFFR support?
The MSP430F5524IYFFR's ADC12_A module supports 12 total input channels: 10 external analog inputs (P6.0–P6.7, P4.0–P4.1) plus 2 internal sources (temperature sensor and VREF/2). Channel selection and autoscan sequencing are fully configurable in hardware.
What is the standby current consumption of the MSP430F5524IYFFR in LPM3 mode?
In LPM3 mode with RTC, watchdog, and supply supervisor active and full RAM retention, the MSP430F5524IYFFR consumes 1.9 µA at 2.2 V and 2.1 µA at 3.0 V (typical). This enables multi-year operation on primary lithium batteries in always-on sensor applications.
