MSP430G2313IN20 Key Features

• Single 16-bit core capability with low code density, enabling efficient control code and faster arithmetic compared to 8-bit MCUs.
• On-chip flash memory plus SRAM, which means field reprogrammability and in-system firmware updates for quicker maintenance.
• Low-voltage operation from 1.8 V to 3.6 V, offering wider battery compatibility and longer run-time in portable applications.
• Integrated 10-bit ADC and 16-bit Timer_A, providing precise analog measurement and deterministic timing for sensor and control loops.

Typical Applications

• Battery-powered sensor nodes and data loggers where low quiescent current extends battery life and the ADC converts analog sensors to digital values for transmission.
• Home appliance control panels requiring compact code footprint, reliable timer-driven UI routines, and occasional analog measurements for knobs and sensors.
• Industrial control interfaces that need robust, low-cost MCU control, deterministic timer events, and in-field firmware updates in a 20-pin form factor.
• Portable medical and measurement instruments where 10-bit ADC resolution and low active/standby currents support accurate sampling and long operation between charges.

MSP430G2313IN20 Advantages vs Typical Alternatives
