MSP430F2001IPWR 16-bit Ultra-Low-Power Microcontroller, TSSOP

MSP430F2001IPWR Overview

The MSP430F2001IPWR is an ultra?low?power, 16?bit microcontroller designed for simple, cost?sensitive embedded tasks. It delivers a compact mix of low supply current, a common MSP430 16?bit RISC core, and basic system peripherals in a small TSSOP?20 package. The device suits battery?powered and portable designs that need more power efficiency and lower pin count compared with many 8?bit alternatives. For sourcing and vendor details see IC Manufacturer.

MSP430F2001IPWR Technical Specifications

MSP430F2001IPWR Key Features

• 16?bit RISC core ?? delivers faster integer math and more efficient code density versus typical 8?bit designs.
• Ultra?low supply range ?? 1.8?C3.6 V operation allows direct battery use and fewer regulators.
• Low active and standby consumption ?? extends battery life for portable and long?life applications.
• Compact memory ?? 1 KB Flash and 128 B RAM give simple code and data storage without external memory.
• Timer_A ?? 16?bit timer supports precise PWM, capture and compare for motor control and timing tasks.
• Comparator_A ?? onboard analog comparator reduces need for external comparators in threshold or wake applications.
• TSSOP?20 package ?? saves PCB area while offering easier hand soldering and automated assembly compared with smaller packages.
• Industrial temperature rating ?? ?40 ??C to +85 ??C supports broader deployment than commercial?only parts.

Typical Applications

• Battery?powered sensors and loggers where multi?year battery life is required and a 16?bit controller gives tighter control and lower code size than 8?bit options.
• Simple metering and utility interfaces that need a dependable timer, comparator thresholds, and small nonvolatile program storage for field firmware.
• Consumer appliances with basic control loops and user inputs that benefit from lower active current and fewer external components.
• Industrial controllers and monitoring nodes that require industrial temperature range, basic analog comparison, and compact packaging for dense PCBs.

MSP430F2001IPWR Advantages vs Typical Alternatives

The device combines a 16?bit core with lower power draw and higher code density than many 8?bit controllers. It uses 1?C2 fewer external components due to on?chip comparator and brown?out reset. At 1.8?C3.6 V it supports single?cell battery systems better than many 5 V parts. The TSSOP?20 package trades off pin count for board space and assembly ease, making it more compact than many DIP or SOIC alternatives while keeping familiar GPIO count for simple designs.

FAQ

What package does this part use?

The device ships in a TSSOP?20 package (PWR suffix). This package reduces PCB area and fits automated assembly. TSSOP?20 preserves multiple I/O while remaining easier to handle than finer?pitch packages.

What voltage range is supported?

The valid operating supply range is 1.8 V to 3.6 V. This range supports single?cell Li?ion or alkaline battery systems and enables ultra?low?voltage operation compared with 5 V parts.

What memory resources are included?

The device contains on?chip Flash program memory and small RAM for variables. The embedded Flash allows in?field firmware updates without external memory devices.

Does it support low?power modes?

Yes. The MSP430 architecture includes multiple low?power modes to reduce current consumption in idle states. These modes help extend battery life in intermittent?wake applications.

Which temperature range is rated?

This part is rated for industrial operation from ?40 ??C to +85 ??C. That rating makes it suitable for outdoor and industrial?ecosystem deployments compared with commercial?only devices.
