Overview

The MSP430F248TPM is a 16-bit ultra-low-power RISC microcontroller from Texas Instruments, featuring 48KB of Flash and 4KB of RAM. It is designed for battery-powered sensing and measurement applications, offering a fast wake-up time from low-power modes and a versatile 12-bit ADC. With 48 I/O pins and multiple serial communication interfaces like LINbus and IrDA, it serves as a robust controller for industrial and portable electronics.

Why Choose This Part

The primary advantage is its power profile, consuming only 270 microamps at 1 MHz while providing a sophisticated 12-bit analog-to-digital converter with autoscan. The architecture includes five power-saving modes and four calibrated internal frequencies to 1 percent, allowing for precise timing without external components.

Applications

Battery-Powered Sensing
Utilizes ultra-low-power modes (0.3 microamps standby) and a 12-bit ADC for long-term remote environmental monitoring.
Industrial Control Systems
Uses the integrated LINbus and SCI interfaces for communication within distributed sensor networks and industrial machinery.
Portable Handheld Instrumentation
Leverages the 16MHz CPU and compact LQFP-64 package to process data for mobile measurement devices.
