MSP430F248TPMR MSP430 CPU16 MCU IC 16-Bit 16MHz 48KB FLASH
The MSP430F248TPMR is Texas Instruments ultra-low-power 16-bit RISC mixed-signal microcontroller housed in a 64-pin LQFP surface mount package, running up to 16MHz with 48KB flash memory and 4KB SRAM. It supports 1.8V to 3.6V single supply voltage, integrates a 12-bit 8-channel SAR ADC, hardware multiplier, two 16-bit timers and four USCI serial interfaces for UART, SPI and I2C communication. This low-power MCU features multiple power modes with sub-microamp standby current, fast wake-up below 1µs, operates from -40°C to 105°C, and is widely adopted for battery-powered portable measurement, sensor acquisition and low energy industrial embedded control systems.
Key Features & Applications
● 16-bit MSP430 RISC core with 16MHz maximum clock speed and 62.5ns instruction cycle for efficient signal computation.
● Ultra-low power consumption with multiple sleep modes, only 0.1µA current in RAM retention off mode and 0.3µA standby mode.
● Built-in 12-bit SAR ADC with internal reference, sample-and-hold and autoscan function for multi-channel analog signal sampling.
● Dual 16-bit timer modules with capture/compare registers to generate PWM signals and support timing control tasks.
● Four USCI communication interfaces for UART, SPI, I2C and IrDA to connect sensors and peripheral chips flexibly.
● 48 general-purpose I/O pins, watchdog timer, brownout protection and on-chip hardware multiplier to reduce MCU calculation load.
This low-power MCU is commonly deployed for handheld measuring instruments, wireless sensor nodes, battery-powered portable monitors, smart gas detectors, medical portable devices, home automation controllers, industrial data loggers and low-energy remote data acquisition terminals. It executes analog signal collection, data processing and short-distance communication for embedded systems requiring long battery service life.
