Typical applications include handheld metering, portable instrumentation, and sensor front-ends where the on-chip LCD and precision ADC eliminate external components. This is not an immediate discontinuation, but TI has signaled that the part is in the last phase of active support. For existing production, the NRND flag means the last-time-buy window could open at any time. For new designs, TI would steer you toward a current MSP430F4xx or MSP430F5xx derivative. ## The 16-bit ADC and LCD controller — key differentiators The three 16-bit sigma-delta ADCs are the standout analog feature. The integrated LCD controller drives up to 160 segments (4-mux or 8-mux), which is enough for a 6-digit-plus-annunciator display. Together, these peripherals make the MSP430F425IPMR a single-chip solution for battery-powered measurement instruments where every microamp matters. ## Package and supply — design-in notes The MSP430F425IPMR is supplied in a 64-LQFP (10x10 mm) package with a 0.5 mm pitch — a common footprint that reflows well with standard lead-free profiles. The internal oscillator runs at 8 MHz, so no external crystal is needed for the core clock, though the UART and ADC may benefit from an external 32.768 kHz watch crystal for precision timing.","metaTitle":"Texas Instruments MSP430F425IPMR 16-bit MCU, 8 MHz","metaDescription":"TI MSP430F425IPMR 16-bit MCU at 8 MHz with 16 KB Flash, 512 B RAM, 3x16b ADC, LCD controller, SPI/UART.

The closest functional match within the current MSP430 portfolio would be a member of the MSP430F4xx or MSP430F5xx family that includes an LCD controller and a 16-bit sigma-delta ADC.
