Product details
Overview
MSP430I2041TPWR from Texas Instruments is a 16-bit ultra-low-power mixed-signal microcontroller optimized for precision energy metering and sensor monitoring. It integrates four 24-bit sigma-delta ADCs with differential PGA inputs, operates from 2.2 V to 3.6 V, delivers 16.384-MHz system clock via internal DCO, and supports 16 I/O pins in a 28-pin TSSOP package - enabling high-accuracy current/voltage sampling in single-phase smart meters.
For engineers reviewing the MSP430I2041TPWR datasheet, MSP430I2041TPWR pinout, MSP430I2041TPWR application, or MSP430I2041TPWR equivalent, key selection criteria include its quad 24-bit SD24 ADC architecture, LPM4.5 shutdown current of 75 nA, eUSCI_A0 UART/IrDA/SPI and eUSCI_B0 SPI/I²C interfaces, and support for metrology-grade analog front-end integration without external reference components.
Technical Context
The MSP430I2041TPWR implements a 16-bit RISC CPU with constant generators and hardware multiplier (16×16), paired with five low-power modes (AM, LPM3, LPM4, LPM4.5) to minimize active and standby power in battery-backed or energy-harvested metering systems. Its integrated LDO supplies a regulated 1.8-V core voltage, while the DCO achieves sub-5 µs wake-up from LPM4.
Four independent SD24 modules each support differential PGA inputs, programmable gain, and 256× oversampling - enabling simultaneous high-resolution measurement of voltage, current, neutral, and auxiliary channels. The device uses Spy-Bi-Wire for programming and debug, with no external programming voltage required.

FAQ
What is the maximum ADC sampling rate supported by the MSP430I2041TPWR?
The MSP430I2041TPWR supports up to 256 kSPS aggregate sampling across its four 24-bit sigma-delta ADCs, with individual channel rates configurable up to 64 kSPS depending on oversampling ratio and filter settings. Each SD24 module operates independently, allowing concurrent sampling of voltage, current, neutral, and auxiliary signals without inter-channel delay - essential for accurate power factor and harmonic analysis in real-time metering applications.
Does the MSP430I2041TPWR require an external crystal oscillator?
No, the MSP430I2041TPWR does not require an external crystal. It features a factory-trimmed 16.384-MHz digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) that achieves ±1% accuracy over temperature and voltage, sufficient for metrology timing requirements. An external resistor on the ROSC pin can further stabilize DCO performance, but no crystal or ceramic resonator is needed - reducing bill-of-materials cost and PCB area in space-constrained metering designs.
How many GPIO pins are available on the MSP430I2041TPWR in TSSOP-28 package?
The MSP430I2041TPWR in the 28-pin TSSOP (PW) package provides 16 general-purpose I/O pins: P1.0 through P1.7 (8 pins) and P2.0 through P2.3 (4 pins), plus four dedicated analog input pairs (A0–A3) that are not counted as GPIOs. All 16 GPIOs support peripheral multiplexing including eUSCI signals, timer capture/compare, and interrupt capability - enabling flexible interface routing for UART, I²C, SPI, and external event triggers.
Can the MSP430I2041TPWR operate from a single 3.3-V supply?
Yes, the MSP430I2041TPWR operates fully from a single 3.3-V supply across its recommended range of 2.2 V to 3.6 V. Its integrated LDO generates a stable 1.8-V core voltage internally, while AVSS/DVSS share the same ground plane. This simplifies power design by eliminating separate analog/digital regulators - provided proper decoupling (100 nF ceramic + 1 µF tantalum per VCC pin) and separation of analog/digital ground traces per TI layout guidelines.
What development tools are officially supported for the MSP430I2041TPWR?
Texas Instruments officially supports the MSP430I2041TPWR with the EVM430-I2040S evaluation module for metering, the MSP-TS430RHB32A 100-pin target board, and MSP430Ware™ software libraries. Code Composer Studio™ IDE (desktop/cloud) includes device-specific drivers, energy measurement frameworks, and reference designs such as Single Phase Embedded Metering - enabling rapid prototyping of Class 0.2 compliant firmware with calibrated ADC and energy accumulation routines.
