Product details

16-bit MSP430 core at 16 MHz — what it buys you

It runs at 16 MHz and carries 2 KB of Flash program memory (2K x 8) plus 256 x 8 bytes of RAM. This is a through-hole part in a 20-pin DIP (20-PDIP, 0.300" body width), so it fits standard breadboards and sockets.

Peripherals and data conversion — built-in ADC saves a chip

An 8-channel 10-bit ADC is on-die, so a separate external converter is unnecessary for thermistor, potentiometer, or current-sense resistor readout.

Active lifecycle — no LTB surprise for new designs

ROHS3 compliant. No last-time-buy window is in effect, and no official successor has been published.

This covers outdoor telecom cabinets, factory-floor sensors, HVAC controllers, and automotive cabin-zone electronics (non-safety). The 20-DIP package with through-hole mounting is better suited to prototype runs, maintenance spares, and low-volume production than to high-speed SMT assembly lines.

Frequently asked questions

What is an equivalent or second-source for the MSP430G2253IN20?

No pin-compatible second-source is listed on the Texas Instruments cross-reference for this exact DIP variant. The F280041PZQR is a different architecture (32-bit C28x at 100 MHz, automotive grade) and is not a functional replacement. Stick with the MSP430G2xx family for pin-compatible density upgrades within the same package.
