The 256-byte RAM holds a few frames of sensor data or a small communication buffer; anything larger needs external SRAM or a part from the higher-density MSP430G2xx siblings. ## 20-TSSOP package — footprint and layout notes Housed in a 20-TSSOP (4.40 mm width, 0.65 mm pitch), this is a surface-mount package suited for automated assembly. The 0.65 mm pitch is fine enough that hand-soldering is possible with care, but reflow is preferred. No exposed thermal pad — the package relies on the leadframe and PCB copper for heat dissipation. The MSP430G2xx family has broad distribution support, and the active status means standard lead times apply through authorized channels. ## Sourcing this part to your BOM If your assembly line feeds from tape-and-reel, check the reel suffix (typically 'R' appended, e.g. MSP430G2252IPW20R) to match the feeder. The active lifecycle means no supply discontinuity risk for the foreseeable future, making it a clean fit for both prototyping and volume production.","metaTitle":"MSP430G2252IPW20 16-Bit MCU, 16 MHz, 2 KB Flash, 20-TSSOP","metaDescription":"Texas Instruments MSP430G2252IPW20 16-bit MCU, 16 MHz, 2 KB Flash, 256 x 8 RAM, I²C/SPI/USI, 8x10b ADC, -40°C 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, SPI, USI","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":"MSP430G2252","Program Memory Size":"2KB (2K 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":"$2.0500","priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$2.05000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$1.84400","currency":"USD"},{"qty":25,"price":"$1.74000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$1.48250","currency":"USD"},{"qty":250,"price":"$1.39200","currency":"USD"},{"qty":500,"price":"$1.21800","currency":"USD"},{"qty":1000,"price":"$1.00920","currency":"USD"},{"qty":2500,"price":"$0.93960","currency":"USD"},{"qty":5000,"price":"$0.90480","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icboms.com/8acb3ddcf2d6da6c182cb35a69f021be.pdf","sourceUrl":null,"alternativesUrl":"https://icboms.com/api/mcp/products/MSP430G2252IPW20/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Does MSP430G2252IPW20 support I2C and SPI interfaces?","answer":"Yes.

Pin-compatibility depends on the exact package variant; both are available in 20-pin TSSOP, so a board designed for the G2231 in 20-TSSOP should accept the G2252 with a firmware update to enable the USI."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://icboms.com/texas-instruments/MSP430G2252IPW20","citationPolicyUrl":"https://icboms.com/llms.txt","source":"ICBOMS","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"ICBOMS\" and link https://icboms.com/texas-instruments/MSP430G2252IPW20 when reusing this data.
