CC430F5125IRGZR

RF Transceiver ICS Overview

The CC430F5125IRGZR is a Texas Instruments ultra-low-power System-on-Chip integrating an MSP430 microcontroller with a Sub-1 GHz RF transceiver. It features a 16-bit MSP430 core operating at up to 20 MHz, paired with 16 KB of Flash memory and 2 KB of RAM. The device supports frequencies from 300 MHz to 928 MHz and operates on a supply voltage range of 1.8 V to 3.6 V. Housed in a 48-pin VQFN package, it includes interfaces such as I2C, SPI, and UART for system connectivity.

RF Transceiver ICS Feature Summary

• Integrates an MSP430 MCU core with a Sub-1 GHz wireless transceiver for combined processing and communication
• Supports low-power operation across a wide voltage range suitable for battery-constrained applications
• Provides standard digital communication interfaces including I2C, SPI, and UART for peripheral integration

RF Transceiver ICS Applications

• Wireless sensor nodes requiring integrated control and transmission
• Remote monitoring systems utilizing Sub-1 GHz bands
• Industrial telemetry devices needing low-power wireless connectivity

RF Transceiver ICS Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix IRGZR corresponds to the 48-VQFN package and reel packaging configuration. Confirm that the operating temperature range meets the -40°C to +85°C requirement for the intended environment. Ensure compliance with RoHS standards and check for any export restrictions associated with this component before finalizing procurement orders.

RF Transceiver ICS Selection Notes

Select this component when both microcontroller logic and Sub-1 GHz wireless transmission are required in a single package. It is suitable for designs prioritizing space efficiency and power consumption over high-speed data throughput. Consider the 16 KB memory limit for complex firmware requirements and ensure the 48-pin footprint fits the PCB layout constraints.

RF Transceiver ICS Part Context

This part belongs to the CC430 family, which combines MSP430 MCUs with RF capabilities. It differs from the MSP430F4152 by adding wireless functionality and from the MSP430FR5994 by using Flash instead of FRAM and lacking an ADC. The RGZ suffix denotes the specific 48-lead VQFN package type used for surface-mount assembly.

RF Transceiver ICS Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same package include other variants in the CC430F51xx series with different memory sizes. For non-wireless alternatives, the MSP430F4152 offers similar MCU performance but lacks the integrated RF transceiver.
