16 I/O in a 20-pin DIP — board-level fit
The MSP430G2212IN20: With 16 I/O lines in a 20-DIP (0.300", 7.62 mm) through-hole package, this part is a natural fit for breadboard prototyping, retrofit of legacy 8-bit designs, or low-volume industrial controls where hand-soldering is the norm. The through-hole body takes more board area than an equivalent SMD, but it simplifies rework and field replacement. The 16 I/O count handles a handful of sensors, a serial bus, and a few PWM outputs without needing a port expander.
