Obsolete — what that means for your BOM line
This part is officially marked obsolete by Texas Instruments. No further factory orders are being accepted, and no last-time-buy window remains open. For a production BOM that currently specifies the MSP430F2417TZQWR, the only sourcing path is the independent surplus and broker channel. We source this exact order code against an RFQ — availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time, not on this page.
Memory sizing — 92 KB Flash and 8 KB RAM
The 92 KB of Flash is split as 92 KB × 8 plus 256 bytes of information memory. That is enough for a moderate firmware image with a real-time operating system kernel, a communication stack (e.g., Modbus or CANopen), and application logic. The 8 KB of RAM is the tight spot — it limits data buffers, stack depth, and the number of active state variables. If your application uses a large lookup table or a multi-packet serial buffer, you will need to budget RAM carefully. The 8-channel 12-bit ADC is integrated, so no external converter is needed for analog sensor inputs.
Peripherals and connectivity
On-chip peripherals include brown-out detect and reset, DMA, POR, PWM, and a watchdog timer. Communication interfaces cover I2C, IrDA, LINbus, SCI, SPI, and UART/USART — enough for most sensor and actuator networks in industrial automation. The internal oscillator means no external crystal is required for basic operation, though an external clock can be used for tighter timing accuracy.
