16-bit MSP430 with USB — what the 25 MHz core and 128 KB Flash mean for the BOM
When reworking, the QFN is liftable with hot air if the pad layout is clean and the board is pre-baked to MSL 3 moisture sensitivity — the part will survive the reflow cycle without pad damage if the profile stays within the datasheet limits.
Supply range and power management peripherals
The integrated brown-out detect and POR circuits handle power-up sequencing and voltage monitoring without external supervisor ICs. A DMA controller offloads data transfers from the CPU, and the watchdog timer can be used for system recovery in unattended equipment.
The part is ROHS3 compliant.
