TIMSP430F2417TPM
Overview
The MSP430F2417TPM is a 16-bit RISC-based microcontroller from Texas Instruments designed for ultra-low power consumption in battery-powered applications. It features 92KB of Flash, 8KB of RAM, and a high-performance 12-bit ADC with internal reference and autoscan capabilities. With a fast wake-up time of less than 1 microsecond from standby, it is optimized for periodic duty-cycle sensing and measurement tasks.
Why Choose This Part
The primary advantage is the ultra-low power architecture, consuming as little as 0.1 microamps in shutdown mode and 0.5 microamps in standby. It provides flexible connectivity via four USCIs supporting UART, SPI, and I2C, combined with a 64-pin LQFP package that offers 48 I/O lines for complex system interfacing. The integrated brown-out detector and supply voltage supervisor ensure reliable operation in fluctuating power conditions.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
Developers can start by using the Texas Instruments Code Composer Studio (CCS) or IAR Embedded Workbench for MSP430. Hardware evaluation is typically performed using an MSP-FET Flash Emulation Tool or an MSP-EXP430F5529LP LaunchPad, though a custom breakout for the 64-LQFP package may be required for this specific variant. TI provides the MSP430Ware software package which includes driver libraries and code examples for all on-chip peripherals.
