Product details
Overview
MSP430G2513IPW28R from Texas Instruments is an ultra-low-power 16-bit RISC mixed-signal microcontroller in 28-pin TSSOP package, featuring 16 KB flash, 512 B RAM, two 16-bit Timer_A modules with three capture/compare registers each, USCI_A0 (UART/LIN/IrDA/SPI) and USCI_B0 (SPI/I²C), on-chip comparator, and up to 24 capacitive-touch-enabled I/O pins. It targets battery-powered sensor nodes and portable measurement systems requiring sub-1 µs wake-up and <0.1 µA off-mode current.
For engineers reviewing the MSP430G2513IPW28R datasheet, MSP430G2513IPW28R pinout, MSP430G2513IPW28R application, or MSP430G2513IPW28R equivalent, key selection criteria include verified 28-pin TSSOP package compatibility, absence of integrated ADC10 (distinguishing it from G2x53 variants), confirmed 16 KB flash/512 B RAM memory map, and validated Spy-Bi-Wire debug interface support - all critical for legacy design migration and low-power firmware development.
Technical Context
The MSP430G2513IPW28R implements a 16-bit RISC CPU with constant generators and seven addressing modes, enabling single-cycle register operations at up to 16 MHz via DCO-calibrated clock system. Its basic clock module delivers ACLK (32 kHz crystal or internal LF oscillator), MCLK (system clock), and SMCLK (peripheral clock), with DCO stabilization under 1 µs.
It supports five software-selectable low-power modes (LPM0–LPM4), achieving 0.1 µA off-mode (RAM retention) and 0.5 µA standby mode. Interrupt-driven operation includes maskable sources from Timer_A, USCI, comparator, and port I/O (P1/P2 only), with vector table located at 0xFFC0–0xFFFF.

FAQ
Does the MSP430G2513IPW28R include an integrated ADC10 analog-to-digital converter?
No, the MSP430G2513IPW28R does not include ADC10. Per TI SLAS735J Rev. May 2013, ADC10 is exclusive to MSP430G2x53 devices (e.g., MSP430G2553). The MSP430G2513IPW28R belongs to the G2x13 series and relies on its on-chip comparator for analog signal comparison or slope A/D conversion instead.
What is the maximum operating frequency of the MSP430G2513IPW28R?
The MSP430G2513IPW28R supports up to 16 MHz operation via its digitally controlled oscillator (DCO), calibrated using factory-stored values in information memory segment A. This frequency is achievable across the full 1.8–3.6 V supply range and enables high-speed serial communication and real-time processing.
Is the MSP430G2513IPW28R pin-compatible with other 28-pin MSP430G2xx devices?
Yes, the MSP430G2513IPW28R shares identical 28-pin TSSOP (PW28) mechanical dimensions and pinout with MSP430G2413IPW28R, MSP430G2213IPW28R, and MSP430G2553IPW28R. However, functional differences exist - notably the absence of ADC10 in G2x13 variants and variations in flash/RAM size.
How is debug and programming performed on the MSP430G2513IPW28R?
Debug and programming use the 2-wire Spy-Bi-Wire (SBW) interface via pins 22 (SBWTDIO) and 23 (SBWTCK). This interface supports full in-circuit emulation, flash programming, and real-time variable inspection using TI's MSP-FET or compatible debuggers - no external JTAG header required.
What low-power modes are supported by the MSP430G2513IPW28R, and what are their typical current draws?
The MSP430G2513IPW28R supports five low-power modes: LPM0–LPM4. Key current values are: Standby mode (LPM3) = 0.5 µA; Off mode with RAM retention (LPM4) = 0.1 µA; Active mode = 230 µA @ 1 MHz, 2.2 V. These values are measured per TI SLAS735J and enable multi-year operation on coin-cell batteries.
