What sets this part apart is its on-chip analog: a 12-channel 12-bit ADC and two 12-bit DACs, which let it handle sensor conditioning and actuator drive directly. With 80 general-purpose I/O lines, it can drive a segmented LCD panel, read a keypad matrix, and still have pins left for external peripherals. The 113-ball BGA Microstar Junior package (7x7 mm) keeps the footprint small, but it is a fine-pitch BGA — not a hand-solder part. The MSP430FG4616IZQWR is marked as Obsolete by Texas Instruments. For a production BOM, this part cannot be sourced through the factory as new stock. If you have a design that depends on this exact MCU, you should qualify a replacement now — or, if you need a small quantity for repair or legacy support, we can source it against an RFQ through our independent distribution network. We confirm availability and current pricing at quote time. The 8 MHz clock rate places this MCU in the low-power, moderate-throughput tier of the MSP430 family. At 8 MHz, the CPUX core can execute most instructions in one or two clock cycles, giving an effective throughput of roughly 4 to 8 MIPS. That is enough for a real-time control loop sampling sensors at a few kilohertz, updating an LCD display, and handling serial communication — but not for heavy DSP or video processing. The 8 MHz ceiling also means the Flash wait state is zero, so no extra latency penalty for code fetches. ## Package and PCB — what the 113-BGA Microstar Junior means The 113-ball BGA Microstar Junior package measures 7x7 mm with a 0.5 mm ball pitch. That is a fine-pitch BGA — not a part you can hand-solder with a standard iron. It requires a solder-paste stencil, a reflow oven, and X-ray inspection to verify ball wetting. The small footprint is a win for space-constrained designs, but the trade-off is that rework is difficult; if you need to replace the MCU, you will need a hot-air rework station and a BGA reballing kit. The supplier device package code is 113-BGA Microstar Junior (7x7).","metaTitle":"Texas Instruments MSP430FG4616IZQWR 16-bit MCU, 8 MHz","metaDescription":"Texas Instruments MSP430FG4616IZQWR 16-bit MSP430 MCU with 8 MHz core, 92 KB Flash, 4 KB RAM, 12-bit ADC/DAC, 80 I/O, 113-BGA.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Obsolete","categoryPath":["Microcontrollers & Processors (MCU / MPU / DSP)"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"Texas Instruments","Speed":"8MHz","Series":"MSP430x4xx","Package":"Tape & Reel (TR); Cut Tape (CT)","RAM Size":"4K x 8","Core Size":"16-Bit","EEPROM Size":"-","Peripherals":"Brown-out Detect/Reset, DMA, LCD, POR, PWM, WDT","Connectivity":"I²C, IrDA, LINbus, SCI, SPI, UART/USART","Mounting Type":"Surface Mount","Number of I/O":"80","Core Processor":"MSP430 CPUX","Package / Case":"113-VFBGA","Product Status":"Obsolete","Data Converters":"A/D 12x12b; D/A 2x12b","Oscillator Type":"Internal","lifecycle_stage":"eol_hot","Base Product Number":"MSP430FG4616","Program Memory Size":"92KB (92K x 8 + 256B)","Program Memory Type":"FLASH","Operating Temperature":"-40°C~85°C(TA)","Supplier Device Package":"113-BGA Microstar Junior (7x7)","Voltage - Supply (Vcc/Vdd)":"1.8V ~ 3.6V"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$8.6400","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icboms.com/26367afcafba76fd3456b173e3282bf7.pdf","sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Does MSP430FG4616IZQWR have a pin-compatible alternative?","answer":"The base product number is MSP430FG4616, and other devices in the MSP430FG46xx family share the same 113-BGA Microstar Junior footprint and ball map in many cases.
