It targets firmware that fits in a few hundred instructions — state machines for I²C temperature sensors, SPI DAC configuration, or PWM fan control. The 256 B information memory segment (part of the 2 KB) can store calibration constants or bootloader flags. If your code exceeds 2 KB, step up to the MSP430F2xx parts with 4 KB or 8 KB Flash in the same 16-QFN footprint. ## 16-QFN with exposed pad — footprint and thermal notes The 16-VQFN Exposed Pad package (supplier device package 16-QFN, 4x4 mm) is a compact surface-mount option. Reflow profile follows standard lead-free (ROHS3 compliant) profiles. The 10 general-purpose I/O pins are multiplexed with the ADC, I²C, and SPI peripherals, so pin assignment needs to be checked against the peripheral map before layout. The series MSP430F2xx remains a supported TI portfolio, so PCN notifications are published through the standard TI change-notification system.","metaTitle":"Texas Instruments MSP430F2013IRSAR 16-bit MCU, 2KB Flash","metaDescription":"Texas Instruments MSP430F2013IRSAR 16-bit MCU with 2KB Flash, 128B RAM, 16 MHz core, I²C/SPI, 10-channel 16-bit ADC, -40°C to 85°C, 16-QFN.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":"MSP430F2xx","packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":"ROHS3 Compliant","productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Microcontrollers & Processors (MCU / MPU / DSP)"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"Texas Instruments","Speed":"16MHz","Series":"MSP430F2xx","Package":"Tape & Reel (TR); Cut Tape (CT)","RAM Size":"128 x 8","Core Size":"16-Bit","EEPROM Size":"-","Peripherals":"Brown-out Detect/Reset, POR, PWM, WDT","Connectivity":"I²C, SPI","Mounting Type":"Surface Mount","Number of I/O":"10","Core Processor":"MSP430 CPU16","Package / Case":"16-VQFN Exposed Pad","Product Status":"Active","Data Converters":"A/D 10x16b","Oscillator Type":"Internal","lifecycle_stage":"eol_hot","Base Product Number":"MSP430F2013","Program Memory Size":"2KB (2K x 8 + 256B)","Program Memory Type":"FLASH","Operating Temperature":"-40°C~85°C(TA)","Supplier Device Package":"16-QFN (4x4)","Voltage - Supply (Vcc/Vdd)":"1.8V ~ 3.6V"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$3.8800","priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$3.88000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$3.48400","currency":"USD"},{"qty":25,"price":"$3.29400","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$2.85480","currency":"USD"},{"qty":250,"price":"$2.70840","currency":"USD"},{"qty":500,"price":"$2.43024","currency":"USD"},{"qty":1000,"price":"$2.04960","currency":"USD"},{"qty":3000,"price":"$1.94712","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icboms.com/e3e1a699181f3e59d5b4aded3bac6f5a.pdf","sourceUrl":null,"alternativesUrl":"https://icboms.com/api/mcp/products/MSP430F2013IRSAR/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the difference between MSP430F2013IRSAR and MSP430F2013IPW?","answer":"The MSP430F2013IRSAR is the 16-QFN (4x4 mm) package variant with an exposed pad, while the MSP430F2013IPW is the TSSOP-16 package variant. Both share the same 16-bit MSP430 core, 2 KB Flash, 128 B RAM, and peripheral set. The QFN package is smaller and offers better thermal performance through the exposed pad; the TSSOP is easier to hand-solder and inspect."},{"question":"Can MSP430F2013IRSAR be programmed with the same tools as other MSP430?","answer":"Yes. The MSP430F2013IRSAR uses the standard MSP430 JTAG (4-wire) and Spy-Bi-Wire (2-wire) debug interfaces, compatible with TI's MSP-FET, MSP-FET430UIF, and third-party tools like the Segger J-Link."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://icboms.com/texas-instruments/MSP430F2013IRSAR","citationPolicyUrl":"https://icboms.com/llms.txt","source":"ICBOMS","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"ICBOMS\" and link https://icboms.com/texas-instruments/MSP430F2013IRSAR when reusing this data.
