Key Advantages

Ultra‑low power MSP430 architecture extends battery life

Integrated LCD driver, ADC, and DAC cut BOM cost and simplify design

Small 7x7 mm VFBGA saves board space for portable, high‑density layouts

Wide supply range (1.8–3.6V) fits battery and low‑voltage systems

Rich serial interfaces for easy connection to sensors, displays, and modules

Industrial temperature rating for reliable operation in harsh environments

Mature MSP430 ecosystem, tools, and documentation reduce development time

Packaging

Type: Microstar Junior VFBGA, 113 balls

Material: Molded epoxy package with lead‑free SAC solder balls (RoHS3)

Size: 7 x 7 mm body, low‑profile height

Ball array and pin configuration: 11 x 11 grid with depopulated corners (total 113); orientation at A1 corner; refer to the datasheet for the exact ball map and assignments

Pitch: Fine‑pitch BGA (typical for Microstar Junior); confirm exact pitch in the datasheet

Thermal characteristics: −40°C to +85°C ambient operation; ultra‑low‑power operation minimizes self‑heating; for θJA/θJC and detailed thermal data, see the datasheet

Electrical properties: 1.8V–3.6V supply; internal oscillator; on‑chip brown‑out reset; low active and standby currents typical of MSP430 (see datasheet for exact numbers)

Supplier device package: 113‑BGA Microstar Junior (7x7)

Package / Case: 113‑VFBGA (Microstar Junior)

Shipping: Tray packaging for automated assembly

Lifecycle

Status: Active and mature in the MSP430x4xx family; widely used and supported

Not nearing discontinuation based on current public information; availability can vary by region and package

Equivalent or alternative models:

- MSP430FG479IPN: Same core/features in LQFP package (easier to hand‑solder; different footprint)

- MSP430FG4618: LCD, sigma‑delta ADC, more memory and I/O (100‑pin LQFP) for feature expansion

- MSP430FG4619: Similar to FG4618 with variant memory/I/O; LCD and SD16 ADC included

- MSP430F449/F448: LCD controller with 12‑bit ADC (if 16‑bit ADC is not required); different analog performance and packages
