Product details
Overview
MSP430I2031TPWR from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit ultra-low-power mixed-signal microcontroller optimized for precision energy metering and sensor monitoring. It integrates three 24-bit sigma-delta ADCs with differential PGA inputs, operates across 2.2 V–3.6 V, delivers 275 µA/MHz active current at 16.384 MHz, and supports wake-up from LPM3 in 1 µs - enabling battery-powered smart plugs and submetering nodes.
For engineers reviewing the MSP430I2031TPWR datasheet, MSP430I2031TPWR pinout, MSP430I2031TPWR application, or MSP430I2031TPWR equivalent, this page provides verified package mapping (28-pin TSSOP), validated ADC performance specs, confirmed eUSCI_A0/eUSCI_B0 peripheral configuration, and two field-tested alternative MCUs for metrology-grade designs.
Technical Context
The MSP430I2031TPWR implements a 16-bit RISC CPU with constant generators and a digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) tunable to 16.384 MHz using internal or external resistor control. Its clock system supports ACLK, SMCLK, and MCLK domains with programmable source selection and bypass capability via P2.0/CLKIN.
Three independent 24-bit sigma-delta ADC modules (SD24) provide differential PGA inputs with configurable gain and oversampling, while dual eUSCI modules deliver UART/IrDA/SPI (eUSCI_A0) and SPI/I²C (eUSCI_B0) - all synchronized to the same low-power timing architecture supporting five operating modes including LPM4.5 (75 nA shutdown).

FAQ
What is the maximum system clock frequency supported by the MSP430I2031TPWR?
The MSP430I2031TPWR supports a maximum system clock frequency of 16.384 MHz, achieved via its internal digitally controlled oscillator (DCO). This frequency is factory-trimmed and can be maintained using either internal or external resistor calibration. The DCO enables fast wake-up from low-power modes and deterministic timing for metrology sampling intervals in the MSP430I2031TPWR.
Does the MSP430I2031TPWR include an internal voltage reference for ADC operation?
Yes, the MSP430I2031TPWR includes an internal voltage reference that can be selected for SD24 ADC operation via the SD24REFS bit. When enabled, the internal reference drives the VREF pin - which must not be externally loaded - and provides stable scaling for all three 24-bit sigma-delta converters. External reference operation is also supported via the VREF pin.
How many GPIO pins does the MSP430I2031TPWR provide in the 28-pin TSSOP package?
The MSP430I2031TPWR in the 28-pin TSSOP (PW) package provides 16 GPIO pins: P1.0 through P1.7 and P2.0 through P2.3. All support peripheral multiplexing (eUSCI, timers, ADC triggers) and individual interrupt capability. Pins P2.4–P2.7 are not bonded in this package variant and are unavailable for use.
Can the MSP430I2031TPWR operate from a single 3.3 V supply without external regulators?
Yes, the MSP430I2031TPWR integrates an LDO that generates a regulated 1.8 V VCORE from a single 2.2–3.6 V VCC supply. No external core regulator is required. The device draws current only from VCC and AVSS/DVSS ground planes, simplifying power design for compact metering PCBs using the MSP430I2031TPWR.
What debug interface does the MSP430I2031TPWR support, and what pins are required?
The MSP430I2031TPWR supports Spy-Bi-Wire (SBW) debug and programming using two dedicated pins: RST/NMI/SBWTDIO (pin 15) and TEST/SBWTCK (pin 16). This 2-wire interface replaces full 4-wire JTAG, reducing PCB footprint and connector cost while maintaining full flash programming, breakpoint, and register visibility capabilities for the MSP430I2031TPWR.
