Product Overview

The Texas Instruments MSP430G2403 is an ultra-low-power mixed-signal MCU based on a 16-bit RISC CPU. It supports a 1.8 to 3.6 V operating supply range, 16 MHz maximum calibrated internal DCO frequency, and 62.5 ns instruction cycle time at maximum CPU clock operation.

Power behavior is centered on five low-power operating modes, with 230 uA active current at 1 MHz and 2.2 V, 0.5 uA standby current, and 0.1 uA off-mode current with RAM retention. Wakeup from standby to active mode is specified at under 1 us.

For embedded control, MSP430G2403 provides 8 KB flash, 512 B RAM, two 16-bit Timer_A blocks with three capture/compare registers each, up to 24 capacitive-touch I/O pins depending on package, and one USCI_A0/USCI_B0 communication interface set. Supported serial modes include UART, LIN, IrDA, SPI, and I2C. It is offered in 32-QFN, 28-TSSOP, 20-TSSOP, and 20-PDIP packages.
