Product details

16 MHz MSP430 core in a breadboard-friendly DIP

MSP430G2412IN20 runs at 16 MHz and carries 8 KB of Flash program memory with 256 x 8 bytes of RAM.

8 KB Flash and 256 B RAM — sizing the firmware footprint

Eight kilobytes of Flash is a modest but workable space for a dedicated sensor hub, a serial bridge, or a timed relay controller. The 256-byte RAM partition handles a few local variables and a small buffer — expect to use the USI module in I²C or SPI mode for external EEPROM or FRAM if data logging exceeds on-chip memory.

Frequently asked questions

What is the closest pin-compatible alternative to MSP430G2412IN20?

Within the MSP430G2xx series, the MSP430G2452IN20 offers the same pinout and peripheral set but with 8 KB Flash and 512 B RAM — a drop-in for designs needing more SRAM. The MSP430G2412 is the 8 KB / 256 B variant; the G2452 doubles the RAM while staying code-compatible.
