The MSP430G2102IPW14: It runs at 16 MHz and carries 1 KB of Flash program memory with 128 bytes of RAM — a footprint sized for simple sensor readout, I2C/SPI protocol bridging, or PWM generation in battery-operated or energy-harvesting designs. The 16 MHz clock is fast enough to poll an I2C temperature sensor at 400 kHz without wait states, but the 1 KB Flash limit means no USB stack or floating-point library fits; the firmware stays lean and hand-tuned.
Peripherals and connectivity in a 14-pin TSSOP
The 14-TSSOP package (4.40 mm width) provides 10 general-purpose I/O pins. The Universal Serial Interface (USI) supports both I2C and SPI in hardware.
