Overview

The MSP430F5510IPT is a 16-bit ultra-low-power microcontroller from Texas Instruments featuring a 25MHz CPUXV2 core and integrated Full-Speed USB 2.0 support. It includes 32KB of flash memory and 6KB of RAM, optimized for battery-powered applications that require a reliable wired data interface. The device balances performance and power with a flexible clock system and multiple low-power modes down to 0.18uA.

Why Choose This Part

This MCU stands out for its integrated USB PHY which operates without an external crystal for certain configurations, reducing BOM cost and board space. The hardware multiplier and 3-channel DMA controller offload the CPU for efficient data handling, while the 1.8V to 3.6V operating range simplifies power supply design for lithium-ion or alkaline cells.

Applications

Portable Medical Devices
Ideal for blood glucose meters and pulse oximeters that require USB data logging and high battery longevity.
USB Dongles and Bridge Chips
Serves as a compact controller for USB-to-serial converters or security tokens using the integrated physical layer.
Industrial Handheld Sensors
Utilizes the 8-channel 10-bit ADC and low-power standby modes for field-deployable measurement tools.
Energy Harvesting Systems
Leverages the LPM4.5 mode and low active current (115uA/MHz) to operate on extremely limited power budgets.
