Product details

25 MHz core, 256 KB flash, 125°C junction — what this MSP430 delivers

The M430F5438AQZCARET is a Texas Instruments MSP430 16-bit MCU clocked at 25 MHz, with 256 KB of on-chip flash and 16 KB SRAM.

Package and footprint — 113-ball VFBGA

The 113-ball VFBGA (7x7 mm) package demands a controlled-impedance PCB stack-up and a fine-pitch stencil for solder-paste deposition. The 0.50 mm ball pitch limits rework to hot-air stations with fine nozzles; a pre-bake at 125°C for 24 hours is recommended if the moisture-sensitive level (MSL) floor is exceeded. Tape & Reel (TR) and Cut Tape (CT) packaging options are available. The TR variant is the standard production reel; CT is suited for prototype or low-volume builds.

Frequently asked questions

Can M430F5438AQZCARET be used as a replacement for MSP430F5438A?

The M430F5438AQZCARET is the Tape & Reel variant of the MSP430F5438A in the 113-NFBGA package. The core, memory, and peripheral set are identical. The difference is the packaging format — Tape & Reel (TR) vs. tray or tube. Confirm the BOM's package code and reel quantity before substituting.

What is the difference between M430F5438AQZCARET and M430F5438AQZCAR?

The suffix 'ET' indicates Tape & Reel packaging. The 'R' suffix on the base part number denotes the same 113-NFBGA package. The functional silicon is identical. The difference is the shipping format: Tape & Reel vs. tray or tube. Verify the BOM's packaging requirement before ordering.
