Product details
Overview
MSP430F5635IPZ from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit ultra-low-power mixed-signal microcontroller featuring 256 KB flash, 16 KB + 2 KB RAM, USB 2.0 full-speed interface, 12-bit ADC with 16 channels (12 external, 4 internal), four 16-bit timers, two USCI modules (UART/IrDA/SPI/I²C), and RTC with battery backup - deployed in portable sensor systems and handheld meters requiring extended battery life.
For engineers reviewing the MSP430F5635IPZ datasheet, MSP430F5635IPZ pinout, MSP430F5635IPZ application, or MSP430F5635IPZ equivalent, key selection criteria include USB integration, 74 I/O count in LQFP-100, active-mode current at 270 µA/MHz, LPM3 standby at 1.8 µA, and absence of integrated DACs compared to higher variants in the F563x family.
Technical Context
The MSP430F5635IPZ implements a 16-bit RISC CPUXV2 core with constant generators and hardware multiplier supporting 32-bit operations. Its unified clock system integrates FLL stabilization, VLO and REFO internal sources, XT1 (32 kHz), and XT2 (up to 32 MHz), enabling precise timing across five low-power modes.
Power management includes an integrated LDO with programmable core voltage, supply supervision, brownout detection, and dual-voltage USB power system (3.3 V/1.8 V). The device supports DMA-driven peripheral operation and fast 3 µs wakeup from LPM3, critical for duty-cycled sensing applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Core Architecture | 16-bit RISC CPUXV2 with hardware multiplier for 32-bit arithmetic - enables efficient signal processing without external coprocessor |
| Flash / RAM | 256 KB flash + 16 KB + 2 KB RAM - sufficient for USB stack, sensor fusion algorithms, and firmware updates in field-deployed devices |
| USB Interface | Full-speed USB 2.0 with integrated PHY, PLL, and 8 endpoints - eliminates need for external transceiver or clock source |
| ADC | 12-bit ADC12_A, 200 ksps, 16-channel autoscan (12 ext, 4 int) - supports simultaneous multi-sensor acquisition with internal temperature reference |
| Low-Power Modes | LPM3: 1.8 µA @ 2.2 V; LPM3.5 (RTC active): 1.1 µA @ 3.0 V; LPM4.5: 0.3 µA @ 3.0 V - enables years of operation on coin-cell batteries |
| Timers & USCI | Four 16-bit timers (TA0/TA1/TA2/TB0); two USCIs (USCI_A0/A1: UART/IrDA/SPI; USCI_B0/B1: I²C/SPI) - supports motor control PWM, serial sensor networks, and USB-to-serial bridging |
| I/O Count | 74 GPIO pins in LQFP-100 package - provides flexible peripheral mapping and redundancy for industrial I/O expansion |
Pinout & Package
LQFP-100 (14 mm × 14 mm) package with exposed thermal pad; 74 general-purpose I/O pins distributed across Ports P1–P9 and PJ, plus dedicated USB DP/DM, crystal (XIN/XOUT), reset (RST/NMI), and power rails (DVCC/DVSS/AVCC/AVSS/VCORE).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| RST/NMI | Reset / Non-maskable interrupt input | Active-low reset with Schmitt-trigger input; supports both power-on reset and external emergency halt |
| DP / DM | USB differential data pair | Full-speed USB 2.0 physical layer interface - requires 27 Ω series termination per line per TI design guidelines |
| XIN / XOUT | Low-frequency crystal oscillator terminals | Supports 32.768 kHz watch crystal for RTC; internal load capacitance configurable via software |
| DVCC / DVSS | Digital supply / ground | Core digital domain powered by internal LDO; DVCC must be decoupled with 100 nF ceramic capacitor near pin |
| AVCC / AVSS | Analog supply / ground | Independent analog rail for ADC/DAC/REF - isolation prevents digital noise from degrading 12-bit conversion accuracy |
| VCORE | Regulated core voltage output | Internally generated 1.8 V supply for CPU and peripherals - eliminates need for external core regulator |

FAQ
Does the MSP430F5635IPZ include integrated DACs?
No, the MSP430F5635IPZ does not include DAC12_A modules. Unlike MSP430F5638IPZ or MSP430F5636IPZ, its device comparison table explicitly lists "–" under DAC12_A (Ch). This omission reduces silicon area and cost while retaining full ADC, USB, and timer functionality for applications not requiring analog output generation.
What is the maximum system clock frequency supported by the MSP430F5635IPZ?
The MSP430F5635IPZ supports up to 20 MHz system clock frequency using the FLL-controlled DCO or external XT2 crystal oscillator (up to 32 MHz). At 20 MHz, active-mode current is specified at 270 µA/MHz (5.4 mA typical), validated under 3.0 V supply conditions per SLAS650G Section 8.4.
Which package options are available for the MSP430F5635IPZ?
The MSP430F5635IPZ is offered exclusively in the LQFP-100 (PZ) package (14 mm × 14 mm), as confirmed in the Device Comparison table and Package Option Addendum of SLAS650G. While other F563x variants appear in nFBGA (ZCA) and MicroStar Junior BGA (ZQW), the IPZ suffix denotes the LQFP-100 variant only.
How many USB endpoints does the MSP430F5635IPZ support?
The MSP430F5635IPZ supports eight USB endpoints - four IN and four OUT - as stated in the Features section and verified in Section 9.14 (Device Descriptors) of SLAS650G. This enables concurrent control, interrupt, and bulk transfer pipes required for composite USB device implementations.
Is the MSP430F5635IPZ compatible with the MSP430F5638IPZ pinout?
Yes, the MSP430F5635IPZ shares identical pinout and package (LQFP-100) with MSP430F5638IPZ, MSP430F5637IPZ, and MSP430F5636IPZ, as shown in Figure 7-1 and confirmed in Table 6-1. Functional differences (e.g., flash size, DAC presence) do not affect mechanical or electrical pin compatibility.
