Product details
Overview
MSP430G2744IRHA40R from Texas Instruments is an ultra-low-power 16-bit RISC mixed-signal microcontroller with 32KB+256B flash, 1KB RAM, 10-bit 200-ksps ADC with internal reference and data transfer controller, dual 16-bit timers (Timer_A3 and Timer_B3), USCI supporting UART/LIN/IrDA/SPI/I²C, and integrated DCO with calibrated frequencies up to 16 MHz - deployed in battery-powered sensor nodes and RF front-end signal conditioning.
For engineers reviewing the MSP430G2744IRHA40R datasheet, MSP430G2744IRHA40R pinout, MSP430G2744IRHA40R application, or MSP430G2744IRHA40R equivalent, key selection criteria include active-mode current at 1 MHz (270 µA @ 2.2 V), standby current (1 µA), 40-pin QFN (RHA) package footprint, brownout detection, and Spy-Bi-Wire debug interface compatibility.
Technical Context
The MSP430G2744IRHA40R implements a 16-bit CPU with constant generators and five low-power modes (LPM0–LPM4), enabling sub-1-µs wake-up from LPM3/LPM4 using ACLK or DCO. Its clock system integrates DCO (calibrated at 1/8/12/16 MHz), LFXT1 (32-kHz crystal), VLO, and external digital sources - all selectable via BCSCTL registers.
Peripherals are tightly coupled to power management: ADC10 uses autoscan and DTC for autonomous conversions without CPU intervention; USCI_A0 supports LIN auto-baud detection and IrDA encoding; Timer_B3 includes shadow registers and TBOUTH for synchronized output control - all operating down to 1.8 V supply.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MSP430G2544IRHA40R | 16KB+256B flash, 512B RAM, identical peripheral set and pinout | Lower memory capacity limits firmware complexity; suitable for simpler sensor logic without protocol stacks | Select when firmware size <12 KB and cost sensitivity outweighs future scalability needs |
| MSP430FR2476TRHAT | Ferroelectric RAM (64KB FRAM), no flash erase/write wear-out, higher active current (120 µA/MHz) | Superior write endurance and faster write speed benefit data-logging applications; requires different power sequencing | Choose for high-cycle logging or where flash endurance is a concern; verify supply ramp timing per SLAU725 |
Compared with MSP430G2744IRHA40R, the G2544 offers identical I/O and peripherals at lower memory cost, while the FR2476 trades flash endurance and write latency for FRAM's infinite write cycles - making it preferable for frequent data storage but less optimal for ultra-low-quiescent battery life.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the MSP430G2744IRHA40R?
The MSP430G2744IRHA40R supports a maximum MCLK frequency of 16 MHz when VCC ≥ 3.3 V and duty cycle is 50% ±10%. At 2.7 V, max frequency is 12 MHz; at 1.8 V, it drops to 4.15 MHz. These limits are defined by the DCO and system clock specifications in the SLAS892C datasheet Section 5.3.
Does the MSP430G2744IRHA40R support hardware debugging?
Yes, the MSP430G2744IRHA40R supports hardware debugging via Spy-Bi-Wire using pins RST/NMI/SBWTDIO (Pin 6) and TEST/SBWTCK (Pin 1). This two-wire interface enables full-speed emulation, breakpoint setting, and memory inspection without requiring a 4-wire JTAG header - reducing PCB footprint and BOM cost.
How many ADC channels does the MSP430G2744IRHA40R have, and what are their input ranges?
The MSP430G2744IRHA40R features 12 ADC input channels (A0–A7, A12–A15) with configurable reference sources. Input range is 0 V to VREF+ (internally 1.5 V or externally applied), or differential between VREF+ and VREF−. Absolute max input is AVCC, and inputs tolerate up to VCC + 0.3 V per absolute ratings table.
Can the MSP430G2744IRHA40R operate from a single 1.8-V supply?
Yes, the MSP430G2744IRHA40R operates across 1.8 V to 3.6 V. At 1.8 V, maximum system frequency is 4.15 MHz, and active-mode current is ~350 µA at that speed. Flash programming requires ≥2.2 V, but normal execution, ADC conversion, and peripheral operation are fully functional at 1.8 V.
Is the MSP430G2744IRHA40R pin-compatible with other MSP430G2x44 variants in the RHA package?
Yes, all MSP430G2x44 devices in the 40-pin QFN (RHA) package - including MSP430G2744IRHA40R, MSP430G2544IRHA40R, and MSP430G2444IRHA40R - share identical pinouts, electrical characteristics, and package dimensions. Firmware and PCB designs are interchangeable across these variants except for flash/RAM size limitations.
