Product details
Overview
MSP430G2233IPW20R from Texas Instruments is an ultra-low-power 16-bit RISC mixed-signal microcontroller with 2 KB flash, 256 B RAM, 10-bit 8-channel ADC, two 16-bit Timer_A modules, USCI (UART/I²C/SPI), and capacitive-touch I/O capability - deployed in battery-powered sensor nodes and portable measurement systems operating from 1.8 V to 3.6 V.
For engineers reviewing the MSP430G2233IPW20R datasheet, MSP430G2233IPW20R pinout, MSP430G2233IPW20R application, or MSP430G2233IPW20R equivalent, key selection criteria include active-mode current at 1 MHz (230 µA @ 2.2 V), wake-up time from standby (<1 µs), ADC resolution and channel count, USCI interface flexibility, and TSSOP-20 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The MSP430G2233IPW20R implements a 16-bit CPU with constant generators and a digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) supporting calibrated frequencies up to 16 MHz. Its clock system integrates internal LF oscillator, 32-kHz crystal support, and external digital clock input - enabling precise timing control across five low-power modes.
Peripherals include two independent Timer_A modules (each with three capture/compare registers), a 10-bit ADC with internal reference and autoscan, and dual USCI modules: USCI_A0 (UART/LIN/IrDA/SPI) and USCI_B0 (SPI/I²C). All I/O pins support interrupt capability and configurable pullup/pulldown resistors.
