Product details

8 MHz core, LCD drive, slope A/D — what this MCU is built for

It carries 32 KB of program Flash and 1 KB of RAM, with 48 general-purpose I/O lines. What distinguishes this part from the broader MSP430 lineup is the integrated LCD controller and the slope A/D converter — peripherals that point directly at battery-powered metering, instrumentation, and display panels where you need a segment LCD driven directly from the MCU without an external driver chip.

The 32 KB Flash (32K x 8 plus 256 bytes) and 1 KB RAM are modest by today's 32-bit MCU standards, but they are well matched to the application class this part targets. A typical firmware image for a gas/water meter or a thermostat with a segment LCD fits comfortably in 32 KB — the code is mostly a state machine, a display refresh routine, and the slope A/D conversion loop. The 1 KB RAM is tight if you plan to buffer serial data or run a protocol stack; for a simple sensor-read-and-display design it is sufficient. If your application needs more headroom, the MSP430F4xx family offers pin-compatible parts with up to 60 KB Flash.

If you are dual-sourcing or looking for a pin-compatible alternate, the MSP430F417IPM (64-LQFP) shares the same core and peripherals in a different footprint, so verify the package before swapping.

Frequently asked questions

Does MSP430F417IRTDR have an internal oscillator or require an external clock?

The MSP430F417IRTDR includes an internal oscillator, so it can run without an external crystal or clock source. For applications that need tighter timing accuracy, an external crystal can be connected to the dedicated oscillator pins.

What is the closest pin-compatible alternative to MSP430F417IRTDR in this family?

Within the MSP430F4xx family, parts like the MSP430F413 and MSP430F415 share the same 64-VFQFN footprint and peripheral set (LCD controller, slope A/D) but differ in Flash and RAM density. Verify the memory requirements of your firmware before substituting — the MSP430F417IRTDR sits at 32 KB Flash / 1 KB RAM, which is the mid-range option in that footprint.
