Product details

25 MHz MSP430 CPUXV2 — what the core delivers

The 16-bit RISC architecture keeps interrupt latency deterministic — useful for the kind of real-time sensor polling and PWM generation this part was designed for.

80-BGA MICROSTAR JUNIOR — the footprint reality

This part comes in an 80-ball BGA, supplier device package 80-BGA MICROSTAR JUNIOR measuring 5x5 mm. That is a fine-pitch BGA — the balls are small and the escape routing needs micro-vias or at least a tight via-in-pad layout if you are on a standard 4-layer board.

TI has stopped production — there is no last-time-buy window still open. For a new design, this part is not an option unless you are locked into a field-replacement or repair BOM that cannot change the MCU.

We source it through our independent supply network — verified inventory from surplus stock, broker channels, and overstock from OEM contract manufacturers. No stock-keeping promise is possible on an obsolete part; the procurement decision is whether the BOM line justifies the premium and the supply risk of a finite pool.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy MSP430F5255IZQE?

The MSP430F5255IZQE is obsolete and not available through standard distribution. We source it through independent supply channels — surplus, broker inventory, and OEM overstock. Submit an RFQ for current availability and pricing; each order is quoted individually against verified stock.

Is MSP430F5255IZQE obsolete?

Yes, the MSP430F5255IZQE is listed as obsolete. TI has ended production, and no last-time-buy window remains open. Sourcing is limited to the independent surplus market.

What is the replacement for MSP430F5255IZQE?

A pin-compatible drop-in from TI is not confirmed. Any replacement requires evaluating a different MSP430F5xx variant or migrating to a current TI MCU family, with full PCB and firmware re-qualification.

What are the specs of MSP430F5255IZQE?

The MSP430F5255IZQE is a 16-bit MCU with an MSP430 CPUXV2 core running at 25 MHz.

What is MSP430F5255IZQE's listed speed?

The MSP430F5255IZQE is rated for a 25 MHz CPU clock speed on the MSP430 CPUXV2 core.
