16 MHz MSP430 core with 8 KB flash ceiling
The MSP430F2132IRHBT is a 16-bit MCU from the MSP430F2xx series running at 16 MHz. Its 8 KB on-chip flash and 512 bytes of RAM set the firmware and data buffer boundary — enough for a single sensor-processing loop or a simple control algorithm, but not for a full RTOS stack with large lookup tables.
Supply voltage, temperature, and package constraints
Housed in a 32-VFQFN exposed pad package (5x5 mm).
Peripherals and I/O for sensor and actuator interfaces
24 general-purpose I/O lines plus an 8-channel 10-bit ADC let it read analog sensors and drive discrete outputs without external muxing.
Active production, ROHS3, no second-source on record
The closest parametric peer in the ledger is the F280041PZQR — a 32-bit C2000 Piccolo MCU running at 100 MHz with 21-channel 12-bit ADC. It is not pin-compatible (different package and supply voltage), so no drop-in replacement exists without a board respin.
