Product details
Overview
MSP430G2352IPW20 from Texas Instruments is an ultra-low-power 16-bit RISC mixed-signal microcontroller featuring a 10-bit 200-ksps ADC, Universal Serial Interface (USI) supporting SPI and I²C, one 16-bit Timer_A with three capture/compare registers, on-chip comparator, and 4 KB flash/256 B RAM in 20-pin TSSOP package. It targets battery-powered sensor nodes and portable measurement systems requiring precise analog acquisition and low active/standby current.
For engineers reviewing the MSP430G2352IPW20 datasheet, MSP430G2352IPW20 pinout, MSP430G2352IPW20 application, or MSP430G2352IPW20 equivalent, key selection criteria include ADC10 channel count (8), USI interface flexibility, ultra-low standby current (0.5 µA), brownout detection, and Spy-Bi-Wire debug support - all confirmed for this exact TSSOP-20 variant.
Technical Context
The MSP430G2352IPW20 implements a 16-bit RISC CPU with constant generators and seven addressing modes, enabling single-cycle register operations. Its clock system integrates a digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) calibrated to 1 MHz, 8 MHz, 12 MHz, and 16 MHz, plus LF oscillator and 32-kHz crystal support - all selectable via BCSCTL registers.
Peripherals are memory-mapped and accessible via full instruction set; the ADC10 module includes internal reference, sample-and-hold, autoscan, and DTC support for autonomous conversions. The USI module provides hardware-level SPI/I²C protocol handling without CPU intervention during data transfer.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ultra-low-power mixed-signal microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MSP430G2452IPW20 | 8 KB flash, 256 B RAM, same peripherals - adds 4 KB code space for larger firmware or bootloader | Required when application needs >4 KB flash (e.g., OTA update support or complex sensor fusion) | Select if future firmware expansion or field-upgrade capability is mandatory; identical pinout and peripheral register map |
| MSP430FR2355IPW20 | Ferroelectric RAM (6.25 KB FRAM), 2 KB RAM, enhanced USCI (UART/SPI/I²C), no ADC10 - uses FRAM for zero-wait-state execution and infinite write endurance | Better suited for high-write-cycle logging or real-time data buffering where flash endurance is limiting | Choose for applications demanding >10⁶ write cycles to nonvolatile memory or deterministic code execution - requires minor peripheral initialization changes |
Compared with MSP430G2452IPW20, the MSP430G2352IPW20 trades flash capacity for lower cost and smaller die size while retaining identical ADC10, USI, and low-power performance; versus MSP430FR2355IPW20, it offers proven flash reliability and simpler migration from legacy MSP430G2x designs but lacks FRAM's write endurance and speed advantages.

FAQ
What is the maximum ADC10 sampling rate supported by the MSP430G2352IPW20?
The MSP430G2352IPW20 supports a maximum ADC10 sampling rate of 200 ksps under optimal conditions: VCC ≥ 2.2 V, ADC10CLK = 5 MHz, and internal reference enabled. This rate is achievable only in single-channel mode with minimal conversion delay; autoscan across all 8 channels reduces effective throughput due to setup overhead. The MSP430G2352IPW20 datasheet specifies this limit in Section 6.3 under "ADC10 Electrical Characteristics."
Does the MSP430G2352IPW20 support hardware UART communication?
No, the MSP430G2352IPW20 does not include a dedicated UART peripheral. It features a Universal Serial Interface (USI) module that supports SPI and I²C protocols in hardware, but UART must be implemented in firmware using Timer_A and GPIO pins. This is confirmed in the device's functional block diagram and Table 1 of the SLAS722G datasheet, which lists USI - not USCI - as the sole serial interface.
Can the MSP430G2352IPW20 operate from a 1.8 V supply while running at 16 MHz?
No, the MSP430G2352IPW20 cannot sustain 16 MHz operation at 1.8 V. According to the "DC Characteristics" table in SLAS722G, the maximum allowed MCLK frequency at 1.8 V is 1 MHz. At 3.6 V, the DCO supports up to 16 MHz. This voltage-frequency dependency is enforced by the DCO calibration data stored in information memory segment A and verified in TI's MSP430x2xx Family User's Guide (SLAU144).
How many I/O pins on the MSP430G2352IPW20 support capacitive touch sensing?
The MSP430G2352IPW20 supports capacitive touch sensing on up to 16 I/O pins - all eight pins of Port 1 (P1.0–P1.7) and all eight pins of Port 2 (P2.0–P2.7). This capability is enabled via the PinOsc module and documented in Section 2.4 of the SLAS722G datasheet. Each pin can be individually configured for touch operation using the PxIES and PxIFG registers.
Is the MSP430G2352IPW20 pin-compatible with the MSP430G2452IPW20?
Yes, the MSP430G2352IPW20 is fully pin-compatible with the MSP430G2452IPW20 in the 20-pin TSSOP (PW20) package. Both share identical pin functions, electrical characteristics, and register-level peripheral mapping. The only difference is flash size (4 KB vs. 8 KB); all other peripherals - including ADC10, USI, Timer_A, comparator, and debug interface - are functionally identical and require no PCB or firmware changes for substitution.
