MSP430F2012IPW

Microcontrollers Overview

The MSP430F2012IPW is a 16-bit microcontroller from the Texas Instruments MSP430F2xx family, housed in a 14-TSSOP package. It features 2 KB of Flash program memory and 128 bytes of RAM. The device operates on a supply voltage range of 1.8 V to 3.6 V with a maximum clock frequency of 16 MHz. It includes an 8-channel, 10-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and supports I2C and SPI communication interfaces.

Microcontrollers Feature Summary

• Integrates an 8-channel, 10-bit ADC for signal acquisition
• Supports I2C and SPI serial communication protocols
• Features internal oscillator for clock generation

Microcontrollers Applications

• Low-cost embedded control systems
• Portable measurement devices
• Battery-powered sensor nodes

Microcontrollers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'IPW' corresponds to the 14-TSSOP tube packaging configuration. Confirm RoHS compliance status through the manufacturer's official documentation. Ensure the operating temperature range meets the -40°C to +85°C requirement for the intended environment.

Microcontrollers Selection Notes

Select this component when a balance of low power consumption and moderate processing capability is required. The 16-bit architecture offers efficient code density compared to 8-bit alternatives. Verify that the 2 KB memory size is sufficient for the application firmware before finalizing the design.

Microcontrollers Part Context

This part belongs to the MSP430F2xx series of mixed-signal microcontrollers. These devices are designed for ultra-low-power applications, combining a 16-bit RISC CPU with extensive on-chip peripherals. The IPW suffix indicates surface-mount installation in a TSSOP package.

Microcontrollers Replacement Considerations

Check for pin-compatible variants within the MSP430F2xx family, such as the MSP430F2012IPWR for tape-and-reel packaging. Verify peripheral availability matches requirements.
