MSP430G2210IDR Key Features

• Single 16?bit RISC core: provides compact code and faster arithmetic than many 8?bit alternatives.
• Wide supply range (1.8?C3.6 V): supports single?cell Li?ion and standard 3.3 V systems without external regulators.
• Small flash and SRAM footprint: reduces BOM cost for simple embedded tasks while retaining nonvolatile program storage.
• Integrated 16?bit Timer_A: enables precise PWM, timing and event capture with fewer external components.
• Low active and standby currents: extends battery life in portable or remote sensor systems.
• Industrial temperature rating: ensures reliable operation across -40 ??C to +85 ??C for harsh environments.

Typical Applications

• Battery?powered sensor nodes where low active current and fast wake?up reduce energy draw and prolong battery lifetime while preserving adequate CPU performance for sampling.
• Industrial control interfaces that need a small MCU to handle debounce, timing, and simple control logic across wide temperature ranges without extra thermal management.
• Home and building automation endpoints that require compact code, inexpensive BOM, and precise timer?based control for relays, LEDs, and simple actuators.
• Portable medical and measurement tools where deterministic timing, low quiescent current, and compact packaging minimize size while meeting regulatory power constraints.

MSP430G2210IDR Advantages vs Typical Alternatives
