Product details
Overview
MSP430G2333IPW28R from Texas Instruments is an ultra-low-power 16-bit RISC mixed-signal microcontroller featuring 4 KB flash, 256 B RAM, dual 16-bit Timer_A modules, 10-bit 200-ksps ADC with 8 channels and internal reference, USCI with UART/LIN/IrDA/SPI/I²C, and capacitive-touch-capable I/O. It operates from 1.8 V to 3.6 V and targets battery-powered sensor nodes and touch interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the MSP430G2333IPW28R datasheet, MSP430G2333IPW28R pinout, MSP430G2333IPW28R application, or MSP430G2333IPW28R equivalent, key selection criteria include its 28-pin TSSOP package, 24 capacitive-touch-enabled I/O pins, calibrated DCO up to 16 MHz, sub-1 µs wake-up from LPM3, and integrated brownout detection for robust low-voltage operation in portable measurement systems.
Technical Context
The MSP430G2333IPW28R implements a 16-bit CPU with constant generators and 16 registers for high code efficiency. Its clock system integrates a digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) with four factory-calibrated frequencies (1/8/12/16 MHz), plus LF crystal (32 kHz), internal VLO, and external digital clock support - enabling flexible low-power timing across active and standby modes.
Peripherals include two independent Timer_A3 modules (each with three capture/compare registers), USCI_A0 (UART/LIN/IrDA/SPI) and USCI_B0 (SPI/I²C), and a 10-bit ADC with autoscan, sample-and-hold, and built-in voltage reference - all accessible via 24 GPIO pins, eight of which are on Port P3 (available only in 28- and 32-pin packages).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Core Architecture | 16-bit RISC CPU with 62.5-ns instruction cycle; enables deterministic real-time control and efficient C compilation. |
| Flash / RAM | 4 KB flash memory and 256 B RAM; sufficient for compact firmware with sensor data processing and communication stacks. |
| ADC Resolution | 10-bit SAR ADC with 8 input channels, 200-ksps sampling rate, and internal reference; supports analog sensor interfacing without external precision references. |
| Power Consumption | 230 µA at 1 MHz/2.2 V active mode; 0.5 µA standby; 0.1 µA off mode with RAM retention - extends coin-cell battery life to years in intermittent-sensing applications. |
| Operating Voltage | 1.8 V to 3.6 V supply range; compatible with single-cell Li-ion, LiFePO₄, and alkaline batteries without regulation overhead. |
| Wake-up Time | <1 µs from LPM3 to active mode; enables rapid response to external interrupts while maintaining ultra-low average power. |
| Package | TSSOP-28 (9.7 mm × 4.4 mm); surface-mount compatible with standard reflow profiles and suitable for space-constrained PCB layouts. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-28 package with 28 leads, 0.65 mm pitch, and exposed thermal pad (not electrically connected). Pinout optimized for mixed-signal routing: dedicated AVCC/AVSS pins, separate analog/digital ground paths, and configurable I/O with Schmitt-trigger inputs and programmable pullup/pulldown resistors.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, DVCC | Digital supply voltage | Primary 1.8–3.6 V digital power rail; decoupling capacitor required within 1 cm for stable core operation. |
| 2, P1.0/TA0CLK/ACLK/A0 | Multi-function I/O | Configurable as timer clock input, ACLK output, or ADC channel 0 - enables synchronous timing or analog acquisition triggering. |
| 5, P1.3/ADC10CLK/VREF-/VEREF-/A3 | Analog reference & ADC input | Provides negative ADC reference (VREF−) and analog input A3; supports differential or single-ended ADC configurations. |
| 6, P1.4/SMCLK/UCB0STE/UCA0CLK/A4/VREF+/VEREF+ | System clock & reference | Delivers SMCLK to peripherals, serves as USCI clock source, and supplies positive ADC reference (VREF+) - simplifies clock tree design. |
| 24, RST/NMI/SBWTDIO | Reset & debug interface | Active-low reset input, non-maskable interrupt, and bidirectional Spy-Bi-Wire data line - enables in-system programming and debugging with 2-wire interface. |
| 25, TEST/SBWTCK | Debug clock | Spy-Bi-Wire test clock input; used exclusively for programming and emulation - no user application function. |
| 26, XOUT/P2.7 | Oscillator output | Crystal oscillator buffer output; must be left unconnected if external crystal is not used to avoid current leakage. |
| 27, XIN/P2.6/TA0.1 | Oscillator input | Primary 32-kHz crystal input or general-purpose I/O; TA0.1 function allows timer-based event capture during crystal operation. |
| 28, DVSS | Digital ground | Reference return path for digital circuitry; requires low-impedance connection to system ground plane. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Five Low-Power Modes (LPM0–LPM4) | Enables dynamic power scaling: LPM3 draws only 0.5 µA while retaining RAM and oscillator state for RTC or periodic wake-up. |
| Capacitive-Touch I/O (up to 24 pins) | Hardware-accelerated touch sensing using Timer_A and built-in comparator; eliminates need for external touch controller ICs. |
| USCI with LIN Autobaud Detection | UART mode automatically detects baud rate from LIN header byte - simplifies integration into automotive body electronics networks. |
| On-Chip Emulation (Spy-Bi-Wire) | 2-pin debug interface reduces PCB footprint and cost vs. full JTAG; supports flash programming, breakpoints, and real-time variable monitoring. |
| Brownout Detector (BOR) | Monitors VCC and triggers reset if voltage drops below programmable threshold (1.7–2.7 V); prevents erratic operation during battery sag. |

At lower supply voltages, the maximum frequency is reduced: 12 MHz at 2.7 V and 6 MHz at 1.8 V, per the recommended operating conditions table in SLAS734G.
Does the MSP430G2333IPW28R support capacitive touch sensing?
Yes, the MSP430G2333IPW28R supports capacitive touch sensing on up to 24 I/O pins using its integrated Timer_A modules and built-in comparator. The device includes hardware-accelerated charge-transfer measurement and software libraries in MSP430Ware to implement buttons, sliders, and wheels without external components.
What debug interface does the MSP430G2333IPW28R use?
The MSP430G2333IPW28R uses the Spy-Bi-Wire (SBW) interface - a 2-pin variant of JTAG - for programming and debugging. Pins RST/NMI/SBWTDIO (Pin 24) and TEST/SBWTCK (Pin 25) provide full flash programming, breakpoint setting, and real-time register inspection via TI's MSP-FET or compatible tools.
Is the ADC on the MSP430G2333IPW28R differential or single-ended?
The 10-bit ADC on the MSP430G2333IPW28R supports both single-ended and differential input modes. Differential operation uses VREF− (e.g., P1.3) and VREF+ (e.g., P1.4) as reference inputs, while single-ended mode references AVSS. Channel selection and mode configuration are controlled via ADC10CTL1 and ADC10AE0 registers.
Can the MSP430G2333IPW28R operate from a single 1.8 V supply?
Yes, the MSP430G2333IPW28R is fully specified for operation from 1.8 V to 3.6 V.
