00 — Overview

What the MSP430G2553 does

The MSP430G2x53 is an ultra-low-power mixed signal microcontroller featuring a 16-bit RISC architecture, 10-bit 200-ksps analog-to-digital converter, and up to 24 capacitive-touch enabled I/O pins. It operates across a supply voltage range of 1.8V to 3.6V with active mode current as low as 230 µA at 1 MHz. The family includes variants with 256 KB or 512 KB flash memory and 16 or 32 KB RAM, available in 20, 28, and 32-pin packages. These devices are typically used in low-cost sensor systems that capture analog signals, convert them to digital values, and process the data for display or transmission to a host system.
