Overview
MSP430G2302IPW14 from Texas Instruments is an ultra-low-power 16-bit RISC microcontroller in 14-pin TSSOP packaging, featuring 4 KB Flash, 256 B RAM, one 16-bit Timer_A with three capture/compare registers, Universal Serial Interface (USI) for SPI/I²C, and up to 8 capacitive-touch-enabled I/O pins. It operates from 1.8 V to 3.6 V and targets battery-powered sensor nodes and portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the MSP430G2302IPW14 datasheet, MSP430G2302IPW14 pinout, MSP430G2302IPW14 application, or MSP430G2302IPW14 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 4 KB Flash size, USI-based serial interface support, 16-bit Timer_A configuration, low-power mode timing (LPM4 < 0.1 µA), and TSSOP-14 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The MSP430G2302IPW14 implements a 16-bit CPU with seven addressing modes and 51-instruction set, executing register-to-register operations in one CPU clock cycle. Its basic clock module integrates DCO (calibrated at 1/8/12/16 MHz), LF oscillator, and 32-kHz crystal support - enabling sub-1 µs wake-up from LPM4 via ACLK or SMCLK-triggered interrupts.
It uses Spy-Bi-Wire for on-chip emulation and programming without external voltage, and supports brownout detection with reset/NMI pin functionality. Port P1 provides eight I/O pins with individually configurable pullup/pulldown resistors and pin-oscillator enable for capacitive touch; Port P2 offers two dedicated I/O pins in the 14-pin TSSOP variant.
