MSP430G2444IRHA40R

Microcontrollers Overview

The MSP430G2444IRHA40R is a mixed-signal microcontroller from the Texas Instruments MSP430G2x44 series. It features a 16-bit CPU core and is housed in a 40-pin VQFN package. The device supports a maximum clock frequency of 16 MHz and operates within a supply voltage range of 1.8 V to 3.6 V. It includes an integrated analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and supports boundary scan testing. The operational temperature range extends from -40°C to +85°C.

Microcontrollers Feature Summary

• Integrates a 16-bit RISC processor core for efficient mixed-signal processing.
• Includes an on-chip analog-to-digital converter for signal acquisition.
• Supports boundary scan testing capabilities for board-level diagnostics.

Microcontrollers Applications

• Low-power embedded control systems
• Mixed-signal data acquisition applications
• Industrial monitoring devices

Microcontrollers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'R' indicates tape-and-reel packaging when ordering. Confirm the 'I' designation corresponds to the industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C). Ensure the VQFN-40 footprint matches the target PCB layout. Cross-reference the full part number with official Texas Instruments documentation to confirm current production status and availability.

Microcontrollers Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring a balance of processing power and low power consumption. The 16-bit architecture offers improved performance over 8-bit alternatives while maintaining energy efficiency. The inclusion of an ADC makes it suitable for sensor interfacing without external conversion hardware. Consider the 40-pin form factor for adequate I/O density in compact enclosures.

Microcontrollers Part Context

This device belongs to the MSP430G2 Value Line family, designed for cost-sensitive applications. It shares architectural similarities with other G2 series parts but offers specific memory and peripheral configurations. The G2x44 variant distinguishes itself through its pin count and peripheral set, targeting applications needing moderate I/O expansion and analog capabilities.

Microcontrollers Replacement Considerations

Consult official substitution guides for compatible upgrades. Verify pin compatibility and peripheral equivalence before replacing existing designs with alternative MSP430 models.
