Product details

16 MHz, 8 KB Flash, 512 B RAM — what the memory budget means

The 25 I/O lines, plus I²C, SPI, UART, IrDA, and LINbus connectivity, cover most serial-bridge and data-logging roles.

The EP suffix flags it as an extended-temperature / enhanced-product variant — not a commercial-grade part in an industrial wrapper.

32-VQFN (5x5) with exposed pad — layout and thermal handling

The 32-VQFN package (5x5 mm body) with exposed thermal pad needs a via-stitched ground paddle on the PCB to pull heat out of the die. Surface-mount only — no socket option.

At the low end, 1.8 V operation keeps the core alive during battery exhaustion — useful for last-gasp data logging.

This is a standard catalog part, not a phase-out or NRND line. The MSP430F2xx family has been in volume for years, so second-source risk is low: TI is the sole fab, but the architecture is stable and widely supported.

Frequently asked questions

Is MSP430F2132QRHBTEP a direct replacement for the standard MSP430F2132?

Yes — the 'QRHBTEP' suffix identifies the extended-temperature (-40°C to 125°C) variant in a 32-VQFN (5x5) package with tape-and-reel packaging. The base MSP430F2132 core, memory map, and peripherals are identical. Pin-compatible with the standard MSP430F2132 in the same 32-VQFN footprint, provided the board layout accommodates the exposed thermal pad.

Is MSP430F2132QRHBTEP RoHS compliant?

The part is listed with a 'R' suffix in the order code, which TI uses for RoHS-compliant / lead-free packaging. Standard TI practice for this suffix indicates compliance with EU RoHS directives. No separate certificate is required for BOM declaration.
