The 64-VFQFN package with an exposed thermal pad (9x9 mm body) helps pull heat out of the die when the core is active continuously; the pad should be stitched to a ground plane with at least four vias to keep junction temperature in check at the high end of the range.

Frequently asked questions
How does the MSP430F233TRGCT compare to the MSP430F233TRGCR?
The MSP430F233TRGCT and MSP430F233TRGCR are the same silicon — the suffix difference is the reel packaging option (TR vs CR). Electrical specs, pinout, and footprint are identical.
