The flash is the tightest constraint: a firmware image that includes a UART driver, an I²C master, and a 10-bit ADC sampling loop must fit within that 1 KB boundary, leaving no room for a bootloader partition. The 256-byte RAM holds the stack, interrupt context, and data buffers — a single 128-byte UART receive buffer consumes half of it. The 16 MHz clock rate is the CPU's maximum operating frequency; the actual throughput depends on flash wait states and the instruction mix. For a tight control loop that runs from flash with zero wait states at 16 MHz, the core delivers roughly 16 MIPS — enough for a sensor polling loop at a few kilohertz or a LIN slave node responding to bus frames. The USCI module handles I²C, SPI, and UART in hardware — no software bit-banging needed. The connectivity list also includes IrDA and LIN, which makes this MCU suitable for automotive subnet nodes (LIN slave) or infrared data links in handheld instruments. The 8-channel 10-bit ADC samples at up to 200 ksps; at 10-bit resolution the LSB size is 4.9 mV with a 5 V reference, adequate for reading a thermistor or a potentiometer feedback. The DMA can move ADC results directly to RAM without CPU intervention, leaving the core free for control logic. The brown-out detect resets the MCU if the supply drops below the threshold, preventing flash corruption during a battery swap or a loose connection. ## Supply range and temperature grade — battery-friendly and industrial-rated The wide Vcc tolerance simplifies the power tree in portable or battery-backed designs. ## Package and board-fit — 20-TSSOP with 0.65 mm pitch The device comes in a 20-TSSOP package (4.4 mm body width, 0.65 mm pitch). The supplier device package is 20-TSSOP, and the mounting type is surface mount. It is ROHS3 compliant. The base product number is MSP430G2153, and the series is MSP430G2xx.","metaTitle":"TI MSP430G2153IPW20 MCU, 16-bit, 16 MHz, 1 KB Flash","metaDescription":"Texas Instruments MSP430G2153IPW20 16-bit MCU, 16 MHz, 1 KB Flash, 256 B RAM, 8-ch 10-bit ADC, I²C/SPI/UART, -40 to 85°C, 20-TSSOP.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":"MSP430G2xx","packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":"ROHS3 Compliant","productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Microcontrollers & Processors (MCU / MPU / DSP)"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"Texas Instruments","Speed":"16MHz","Series":"MSP430G2xx","Package":"Tube","RAM Size":"256 x 8","Core Size":"16-Bit","EEPROM Size":"-","Peripherals":"Brown-out Detect/Reset, DMA, POR, PWM, WDT","Connectivity":"I²C, IrDA, LINbus, SCI, SPI, UART/USART","Mounting Type":"Surface Mount","Number of I/O":"16","Core Processor":"MSP430 CPU16","Package / Case":"20-TSSOP (0.173\\\", 4.40mm Width)","Product Status":"Active","Data Converters":"A/D 8x10b","Oscillator Type":"Internal","lifecycle_stage":"eol_hot","Base Product Number":"MSP430G2153","Program Memory Size":"1KB (1K x 8)","Program Memory Type":"FLASH","Operating Temperature":"-40°C~85°C(TA)","Supplier Device Package":"20-TSSOP","Voltage - Supply (Vcc/Vdd)":"1.8V ~ 3.6V"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$2.0900","priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$2.09000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$1.87600","currency":"USD"},{"qty":25,"price":"$1.77000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$1.50800","currency":"USD"},{"qty":250,"price":"$1.41600","currency":"USD"},{"qty":500,"price":"$1.23900","currency":"USD"},{"qty":1000,"price":"$1.02660","currency":"USD"},{"qty":2500,"price":"$0.95580","currency":"USD"},{"qty":5000,"price":"$0.92040","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icboms.com/3d71879787f17220358164ce00b183ce.pdf","sourceUrl":null,"alternativesUrl":"https://icboms.com/api/mcp/products/MSP430G2153IPW20/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the closest functional second-source for the MSP430G2153IPW20?","answer":"The MSP430G2132IPW14R is a peer from the same MSP430G2xx family with the same 16 MHz core, 16-bit architecture, and I²C/SPI connectivity, but it has only 10 I/O pins versus 16 on the G2153, and it comes in a tape-and-reel package.
