Overview

The MSP430F2132TPW is an ultra-low-power 16-bit RISC microcontroller from Texas Instruments, operating at speeds up to 16MHz. It features 8KB of Flash and 512B of RAM, integrated into a 28-TSSOP package designed for battery-operated sensing and control. The architecture is optimized for low power consumption, achieving wake-up times from standby in less than 1 microsecond.

Why Choose This Part

This MCU excels in power efficiency, consuming only 250 microamps at 1MHz while offering six distinct low-power modes. The 8-channel 10-bit ADC and multiple serial interfaces provide high integration in a compact footprint, and the ultra-fast wake-up ensures the CPU spends as little time as possible in active mode.

Applications

Handheld Metering
Ideal for portable instruments where 10-bit ADC precision and extremely low standby current are required to maximize battery life.
Industrial Sensor Nodes
Utilizes integrated UART/SPI/I2C interfaces and a comparator for monitoring environmental sensors in remote locations.
Energy Harvesting Systems
The low minimum supply voltage of 1.8V and sub-microamp standby current make it suitable for applications powered by small capacitors or solar cells.
