MSP430G2553IN20 Microcontroller, 16MHz, 16-Bit MCU, DIP-20

The MSP430G2553IN20 from Texas Instruments is an ultra-low-power microcontroller from the MSP430 family, engineered for extended battery life in portable measurement applications. Its architecture, combined with five power-saving modes, ensures efficient energy use, while the 16-bit RISC CPU and constant generators deliver maximum code efficiency.

Wake up from standby mode in less than 1 microsecond using the digitally controlled oscillator (DCO), ensuring rapid response times. The device includes a 10-bit 200-ksps analogue-to-digital converter with internal reference, sample-and-hold, and auto-scan capabilities, ideal for precise analogue sensing. An on-chip comparator supports signal comparison or slope analogue-to-digital conversion.

Two 16-bit timers with three capture/compare registers each provide precise timing control, complemented by a brownout detector for reliable operation. The microcontroller offers up to 24 capacitive-touch-enabled I/O pins, making it suitable for touch-sensitive interfaces. On-chip emulation logic with Spy-Bi-Wire interface simplifies debugging.
