Product details

16 MHz core, 60 KB Flash — what the memory budget means for the BOM

The 60 KB Flash (organized as 60K x 8 plus 256 bytes) is sized for mid-complexity control firmware — think sensor fusion loops, protocol stacks for I²C or SPI, and LCD display management — without needing an external serial Flash for code storage. The 2.5 KB RAM handles moderate data buffers and stack depth; if your application runs multiple communication stacks or large lookup tables, budget the RAM headroom before committing the BOM line. The part integrates a brown-out detect and reset, power-on reset, PWM timer, watchdog timer, and a direct LCD driver — the LCD controller is a distinguishing feature in this MCU class, saving an external display driver IC and its associated board area.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between MSP430A149IPZR and MSP430A149IPZT?

The difference is the shipping medium: the MSP430A149IPZR ships in Tape & Reel (TR), while the MSP430A149IPZT ships in a tray (Tray). The device itself — die, package, firmware, and electrical ratings — is identical between the two suffix variants. Choose the reel variant for automated pick-and-place assembly lines; choose the tray variant for hand-assembly or low-volume prototyping.
