20 MHz CPUXV2 core with mixed-signal peripherals
This combination makes it a single-chip fit for precision sensor conditioning, closed-loop control, and USB-connected instrumentation without external converters.
Connectivity and peripheral set
The peripheral set also features a DMA controller, brown-out detect/reset, POR, PWM, WDT, and an LCD driver — enough to handle a human-machine interface with a segmented LCD and a real-time control loop on the same die.
73 I/Os in a 100-LQFP package
With 73 general-purpose I/Os available in the 100-LQFP (14x14 mm) package, the MSP430FG6625IPZR provides ample headroom for parallel buses, keypad scanning, and status LEDs alongside the analog and serial interfaces. The surface-mount LQFP is suitable for automated assembly and reflow processes common in volume production.
For BOM planning, this removes the supply-chain urgency that comes with NRND or obsolete parts.
