MSP430TCH5EPWR

Application Specific Microcontrollers Overview

The MSP430TCH5EPWR is a 16-bit microcontroller unit (MCU) from Texas Instruments, specifically designed for haptics and capacitive touch control applications. It integrates a 16kB FLASH memory within a 28-TSSOP package with a width of 4.40mm. This component functions as an application-specific controller, combining processing capabilities with dedicated interfaces for managing tactile feedback and touch sensing inputs in embedded systems.

Application Specific Microcontrollers Feature Summary

• Integrated 16-bit MCU architecture optimized for low-power operation
• Dedicated hardware support for haptic motor control and capacitive touch sensing
• On-chip non-volatile memory for firmware storage

Application Specific Microcontrollers Applications

• Haptic feedback controllers in wearable devices
• Capacitive touch interface management
• Embedded systems requiring combined touch and vibration control

Application Specific Microcontrollers Procurement Notes

Verify the exact ordering suffix to ensure compatibility with required package variants and temperature ranges. Confirm that the specific revision matches the design-in requirements for the target application. Cross-reference the manufacturer's official documentation for any recent updates to pinout definitions or electrical characteristics before finalizing procurement.

Application Specific Microcontrollers Selection Notes

Select this component when a single chip solution is needed for both haptic actuation and capacitive touch detection. The integrated nature reduces external component count compared to separate MCU and touch controller combinations. Ensure the 28-TSSOP footprint fits the PCB layout constraints and that the 16kB memory suffices for the intended application logic.

Application Specific Microcontrollers Part Context

This part belongs to the MSP430 family of microcontrollers, which are known for ultra-low power consumption. The TCH5E designation indicates a specialized variant focused on touch and haptics, distinguishing it from general-purpose MSP430 models like the F5528 series found in other evaluation modules.
