16 MHz, 2 KB Flash, AEC-Q100 — the automotive MSP430G2 that's now obsolete
Connectivity includes I²C and SPI.
No last-time-buy window or successor part number is recorded in the official lifecycle data.
16 MHz core — enough for sensor-level control loops
The 16 MHz clock rate, driven by an internal oscillator, is typical for the MSP430G2 value line. It handles basic sensor polling, PWM generation, and serial communication without external timing components. The 128-byte RAM limits buffer depth — expect to run tight interrupt service routines and avoid large lookup tables in RAM. The 2 KB Flash is sufficient for small state machines and calibration tables, but leaves no room for a real-time operating system or over-the-air update staging.
16-QFN with exposed pad — layout and rework notes
The pad also serves as the primary electrical ground connection — a poor solder joint here can cause intermittent brown-out resets.
