pabigot 355 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Information on upcoming MSP430 chip releases is available at https://sourceforge.net/projects/mspgcc/files/msp430mcu/ in the 20130321 release of msp430mcu. (FWIW, I believe all this information can be extracted from the CCS 5.4 beta as well.) There are about two dozen new chips, including some value-line ones with 4K of RAM and up to 57K of flash (msp430g2955). Interested people should grab the release tar file and review the analysis directory: the peripherals subdirectory has files that show what's in each chip (and for each peripheral which chips support it), and the ldscripts/*/memory.x files show memory sizes. All this is derived from the upstream/devices.csv file and the mcu-specific headers. At this time I don't plan to package up a new mspgcc that incorporates this, though I'm testing my development branches with it and it should be compatible with the 4.7 development series of mspgcc. Have fun analyzing it all. spirilis, roadrunner84, pine and 3 others 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cubeberg 540 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Any idea if they'll be SMD or DIP? Couldn't tell from the product photo that's up on the blog. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
simpleavr 399 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 TI, more powerful DIPs please. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BRey 22 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 I stumbled across this on E2E: http://e2e.ti.com/support/microcontrollers/msp430/b/msp430_news/archive/2013/03/12/msp-gang-v1-1-2-0-is-available-now.aspx It lists support for these new devices: MSP430G2444, MSP430G2544, MSP430G2744 MSP430G2755, MSP430G2855, MSP430G2955 But, no further details..

yyrkoon 250 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 cubeberg, the msp430G2955 if as stated on the webpages when they were listed a week or so ago said TSSOP 38 for sure, and possibly QFP ? Not sure on the second package, but sure of the TSSOP. I seem to recall the other two G2's were TSSOP38 too, but not 100% sure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JWoodrell 285 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 putting this here too for those who are interested. well for those who act fast, digikey has 1 of these boards in stock that come with the 2955, and mouser has 2. (digikey HAD 2... hehe) so I should have a 2955 in my hot little hand just as soon as USPS can get it here. I'll post pictures and whatnot's when it gets here they're 90 and 100 bucks respectively... but hey, whats a cnote between friends. bluehash 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

QFP is a Quad Flat Package with Leads. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yyrkoon 250 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Yeah TI's pages are back now http://www.ti.com/product/msp430g2955 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
roadrunner84 466 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Hey! The TI page mentions both USCI and USI present! Now we can make UART + SPI + I2C or UART + 2xI2C bluehash 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bluehash 1,581 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Hey! The TI page mentions both USCI and USI present! Now we can make UART + SPI + I2C or UART + 2xI2C :grin: Yeay! for hardware serial. No more choosing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BRey 22 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 When I go to the generic "Value Line" part listing: http://www.ti.com/paramsearch/docs/parametricsearch.tsp?familyId=1937§ionId=95&tabId=2662&family=mcu There are 3 lines added below the MSP430G2553 that don't have numbers, but have varying features. All 3 only show 38 TSSOP and 40 VQFN. The 3rd line shows USI & USCI. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobG 1,892 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Yep, looks like this is for real this time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spirilis 1,265 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 TSSOP-38 is relatively easy to solder too IMO. Assuming it's the same "DA" package as the F5172 (looks like it is-- http://www.ti.com/product/msp430g2755#pricingpackaging ), it's 0.65mm pitch and not hard at all (IMO--and I've soldered a lot of them in the past few months :grin:).
