Product details
Overview
MSP430G2533IRHB32R from Texas Instruments is an ultra-low-power 16-bit mixed-signal microcontroller featuring 16 KB flash, 512 B RAM, a 10-bit 200-ksps ADC with 8 channels, two 16-bit Timer_A modules, USCI with UART/LIN/IrDA/SPI/I²C, and capacitive-touch-enabled I/O. It operates from 1.8 V to 3.6 V and targets battery-powered sensor nodes and portable measurement systems.
For engineers reviewing the MSP430G2533IRHB32R datasheet, MSP430G2533IRHB32R pinout, MSP430G2533IRHB32R application, or MSP430G2533IRHB32R equivalent, key selection criteria include its 32-pin QFN (RHB) package, integrated ADC reference, Spy-Bi-Wire debug interface, and ultra-low active/standby current (230 µA @ 1 MHz / 0.5 µA standby).
Technical Context
The MSP430G2533IRHB32R implements a 16-bit RISC CPU with constant generators and a digitally controlled oscillator (DCO), enabling sub-1-µs wake-up from LPM3/LPM4. Its clock system supports internal calibrated frequencies up to 16 MHz, 32-kHz crystal input, and external digital sources - all configurable via the Basic Clock Module (BCS).
Peripherals include dual 16-bit Timer_A units (each with three capture/compare registers), USCI_A0 (UART/LIN/IrDA/SPI) and USCI_B0 (SPI/I²C), and an ADC10 with autoscan, internal reference, and temperature sensor support. Port P3 (8 pins) is available only on 28- and 32-pin packages like the RHB32.
Key Specifications

FAQ
What is the maximum system clock frequency supported by the MSP430G2533IRHB32R?
The MSP430G2533IRHB32R supports a maximum system clock (MCLK) frequency of 16 MHz at VCC = 3.3 V, 12 MHz at 2.7 V, and 6 MHz at 1.8 V. This is achieved using the factory-calibrated DCO oscillator; external crystals up to 32 kHz are also supported for low-frequency timing. The MSP430G2533IRHB32R maintains full peripheral functionality across this range.
Does the MSP430G2533IRHB32R include an integrated temperature sensor?
Yes, the MSP430G2533IRHB32R integrates a factory-calibrated temperature sensor connected to ADC channel A10. It operates across the full –40°C to +85°C range and requires no external components. Measurement accuracy is ±2.5°C typical, and readings are accessible via the ADC10 module in the MSP430G2533IRHB32R firmware.
Can the MSP430G2533IRHB32R operate from a single 1.8-V supply?
Yes, the MSP430G2533IRHB32R is fully specified for operation from 1.8 V to 3.6 V. At 1.8 V, it supports up to 6 MHz system clock and retains all core functionality including ADC, timers, and USCI. Flash programming requires ≥2.2 V, but normal execution, sleep modes, and peripheral operation are guaranteed down to 1.8 V per the MSP430G2533IRHB32R datasheet.
How many capacitive-touch I/O pins does the MSP430G2533IRHB32R support?
The MSP430G2533IRHB32R supports up to 24 capacitive-touch-enabled I/O pins across Ports P1, P2, and P3. All GPIO pins in the 32-pin RHB package (including P1.0–P1.7, P2.0–P2.7, and P3.0–P3.7) are hardware-capable of capacitive sensing using the built-in RC oscillation method - no external components required for basic touch detection.
What debug interface does the MSP430G2533IRHB32R use, and what tools are compatible?
The MSP430G2533IRHB32R uses the two-wire Spy-Bi-Wire (SBW) interface on pins 23 (SBWTDIO) and 24 (SBWTCK). It is fully compatible with TI's MSP-FET programmer/debugger, MSP430 LaunchPad development kits (e.g., MSP-EXP430G2ET), and IAR Embedded Workbench and Code Composer Studio IDEs - enabling full flash programming, breakpoint debugging, and real-time variable inspection.
