For a typical MSP430 application — a field sensor logging data over UART or LIN, a motor controller running a PI loop, or a handheld instrument with a segmented LCD — this memory tier is comfortable without overprovisioning. The 256-byte info segment is useful for calibration constants or device serial numbers that survive a full-chip erase. The 105°C ceiling covers self-heating in a sealed enclosure without derating the core speed. ## Peripheral set — ADC, serial interfaces, and watchdog The 8-channel 12-bit ADC handles analog sensor inputs (thermistors, current shunts, potentiometers) without an external converter. ## Package and supply — 64-LQFP, 1.8V to 3.6V The supply range from 1.8V to 3.6V lets it run from two alkaline cells, a single Li-ion, or a regulated 3.3V rail.","metaTitle":"Texas Instruments MSP430F248TPM 16-Bit MCU, 16 MHz","metaDescription":"TI MSP430F248TPM 16-bit MCU with 16 MHz core, 48 KB Flash, 4 KB SRAM, 8x12b ADC, industrial temp -40°C to 105°C, 64-LQFP.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Microcontrollers & Processors (MCU / MPU / DSP)"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"Texas Instruments","Speed":"16MHz","Series":"MSP430F2xx","Package":"Tray","RAM Size":"4K x 8","Core Size":"16-Bit","EEPROM Size":"-","Peripherals":"Brown-out Detect/Reset, POR, PWM, WDT","Connectivity":"I²C, IrDA, LINbus, SCI, SPI, UART/USART","Mounting Type":"Surface Mount","Number of I/O":"48","Core Processor":"MSP430 CPU16","Package / Case":"64-LQFP","Product Status":"Active","Data Converters":"A/D 8x12b","Oscillator Type":"Internal","lifecycle_stage":"eol_hot","Base Product Number":"MSP430F248","Program Memory Size":"48KB (48K x 8 + 256B)","Program Memory Type":"FLASH","Operating Temperature":"-40°C~105°C(TA)","Supplier Device Package":"64-LQFP (10x10)","Voltage - Supply (Vcc/Vdd)":"1.8V ~ 3.6V"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$13.5700","priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icboms.com/5096a303ad688ab1472fbc7ca5519a65.pdf","sourceUrl":null,"alternativesUrl":"https://icboms.com/api/mcp/products/MSP430F248TPM/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Is MSP430F248TPM a direct replacement for MSP430F247TPM?","answer":"The MSP430F248TPM is a higher-density variant of the MSP430F247TPM — it offers 48 KB Flash versus 32 KB, with the same 4 KB SRAM, 16 MHz core, 64-LQFP package, and peripheral set. For a firmware image that fits in 32 KB, the F248 is a drop-in hardware replacement; if the code exceeds 32 KB, the F248 is the natural upgrade path without a PCB change."},{"question":"What are the programming requirements for MSP430F248TPM?","answer":"The MSP430F248TPM uses TI's Spy-Bi-Wire (SBW) or JTAG interface for programming and debug, both accessible through the standard 4-pin or 2-pin header. The internal flash is programmable at 1.8V to 3.6V supply, so no external programming voltage is needed. TI's MSP430-FET or any third-party tool supporting SBW/JTAG works with this device."},{"question":"How does MSP430F248TPM compare to MSP430F249TPM?","answer":"The MSP430F249TPM is the next step up in the same family: it offers 60 KB Flash and 2 KB SRAM, versus the F248's 48 KB Flash and 4 KB SRAM. Both share the 16 MHz core, 64-LQFP package, 8x12b ADC, and identical peripheral set. The choice comes down to firmware size versus SRAM budget — the F248 has more RAM for data buffers, while the F249 has more code space."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://icboms.com/texas-instruments/MSP430F248TPM","citationPolicyUrl":"https://icboms.com/llms.txt","source":"ICBOMS","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"ICBOMS\" and link https://icboms.com/texas-instruments/MSP430F248TPM when reusing this data.
