16 MHz MSP430 core with 1 KB Flash — what fits in that memory budget
The MSP430G2132IPW20 has 1 KB of Flash and 128 bytes of RAM. That memory fits a single control loop, a few sensor readings, and a simple communication protocol — think a temperature monitor reporting over I²C, a basic PWM fan controller, or a battery-voltage supervisor. Connectivity runs through I²C, SPI, and the Universal Serial Interface (USI).
The base product number is MSP430G2132, so any PCN or documentation updates track under that root.
Package and footprint — 20-TSSOP
It is a surface-mount part.
