MSP430G2313IPW20 Technical Specifications

MSP430G2313IPW20 Key Features

• Single 16?bit RISC core delivering efficient instruction throughput for control tasks and simple computation.
• Wide 1.8?C3.6 V supply range that enables both coin?cell and rechargeable battery operation without extra regulators.
• Small 20?pin TSSOP package offering a smaller PCB footprint versus larger packages while retaining multiple I/O lines.
• Integrated low?power modes that extend battery life by reducing active and standby currents in intermittent duty cycles.

Typical Applications

• Battery?powered sensor nodes that require long standby intervals and occasional timed sampling or serial reporting to conserve power.
• Portable handheld controls where a compact 20?pin footprint and low supply voltage reduce both board area and power budget.
• Simple motor or actuator control in appliances that need accurate timing from a 16?bit timer and multiple digital I/O lines for interfacing.
• Industrial status monitors and simple data loggers that benefit from nonvolatile program memory, low power draw, and robust temperature range.

MSP430G2313IPW20 Advantages vs Typical Alternatives

The MSP430G2313IPW20 combines a 16?bit RISC core and ultra?low power modes in a small 20?pin package, making it more compact and energy?efficient than many 8?bit alternatives for low?to?mid complexity tasks. It supports a wider operating range (1.8?C3.6 V) than some similar parts, which makes system design simpler by reducing the need for external regulators. The on?chip timer and multiple I/O lines improve integration and reduce BOM cost versus discrete solutions.
