Product details
Overview
MSP430G2253IRHB32R from Texas Instruments is an ultra-low-power 16-bit mixed-signal microcontroller featuring 2 kB flash, 256 B RAM, a 10-bit 200-ksps ADC with internal reference and autoscan, two 16-bit Timer_A modules with three capture/compare registers each, USCI_A0 (UART/LIN/IrDA/SPI) and USCI_B0 (SPI/I²C), and up to 24 capacitive-touch-enabled I/O pins. It targets battery-powered sensor nodes and portable measurement systems requiring fast wake-up and analog signal acquisition.
For engineers reviewing the MSP430G2253IRHB32R datasheet, MSP430G2253IRHB32R pinout, MSP430G2253IRHB32R application, or MSP430G2253IRHB32R equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2 kB flash/256 B RAM configuration, QFN-32 package with AVCC/AVSS separation, integrated ADC10 with VREF+/VREF− support, dual USCI peripherals, and sub-1 µs wake-up from LPM4.
Technical Context
The MSP430G2253IRHB32R implements a 16-bit RISC CPU with 62.5-ns instruction cycle time, digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) calibrated for 1/8/12/16 MHz operation, and five low-power modes including LPM4 with 0.1 µA off-mode current. Its clock system delivers ACLK (LF crystal or VLO), MCLK (CPU), and SMCLK (peripherals) with independent gating.
It integrates a comparator_A+ with eight input channels, supports slope A/D conversion, and features on-chip BSL for UART-based flash programming. The device uses Spy-Bi-Wire for debugging and includes brownout detection, watchdog timer, and programmable pullup/pulldown resistors on all I/O ports.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Core Architecture | 16-bit RISC CPU with 16 registers and constant generators; enables high code efficiency and deterministic timing for real-time control. |
| Flash / RAM | 2 kB flash memory and 256 B RAM; sufficient for compact firmware with analog sensor processing and communication stacks. |
| ADC10 | 10-bit, 200-ksps SAR ADC with internal reference, sample-and-hold, autoscan, and 8-channel input multiplexing; supports direct analog signal digitization without external components. |
| USCI Peripherals | USCI_A0 (UART/LIN/IrDA/SPI) and USCI_B0 (SPI/I²C); enables flexible wired communication for sensor data aggregation and host interface. |

FAQ
What is the maximum ADC sampling rate supported by the MSP430G2253IRHB32R?
The MSP430G2253IRHB32R supports a maximum ADC10 sampling rate of 200 ksps (kilo-samples per second) with internal reference and autoscan enabled. This rate is achievable using the internal ADC10CLK derived from the DCO or external sources, and is specified under typical conditions of 2.2 V supply and 25°C ambient temperature per the SLAS735J datasheet.
Does the MSP430G2253IRHB32R support hardware UART auto-baudrate detection?
Yes, the MSP430G2253IRHB32R's USCI_A0 module supports enhanced UART with hardware auto-baudrate detection (LIN-compatible). This feature allows the device to automatically synchronize to incoming serial frames without prior knowledge of the baud rate, simplifying interoperability with variable-speed hosts in sensor network gateways.
What is the function of the NC pins on the MSP430G2253IRHB32R QFN package?
The MSP430G2253IRHB32R QFN package has two NC (no-connect) pins: Pin 8 and Pin 32. These pins are not bonded internally and must remain unconnected in PCB layout. Neither pin serves a functional role, and connecting them may cause unintended electrical behavior or reliability issues.
Can the MSP430G2253IRHB32R operate from a single 1.8 V supply?
Yes, the MSP430G2253IRHB32R is fully specified to operate across a supply voltage range of 1.8 V to 3.6 V. At 1.8 V, it maintains full functionality including ADC10 operation (with reduced reference headroom), USCI communication, and Timer_A operation, enabling compatibility with modern low-voltage energy harvesting and battery chemistries.
How is the MSP430G2253IRHB32R programmed in-system without external hardware?
The MSP430G2253IRHB32R supports in-system programming via its built-in Bootstrap Loader (BSL), accessible through UART using P1.1 (TXD) and P1.5 (RXD). With a user-defined password, the BSL enables flash reprogramming over a simple serial interface-eliminating the need for JTAG/Spy-Bi-Wire programmers during field updates or prototyping.
